The Bangkok Post reports that on 3 September 2025, one of the Lazada Three, Aniwat Prathumthin, 26, aka “Nara Crepe Katoey”, a “social influencer”, was sentenced to three years in prison for lese-majeste and Computer Crime Act violations.
The court then reduced the sentence by half ” due to her confession”, and suspended the sentence for two years. It also placed her “under one year of probation with quarterly reporting requirements to probation officers.”
The conviction relates to posts and comments made on Facebook in 2020.
If the report is accurate, the court innovated in its verdict, emphasizing “that the monarchy serves as a moral exemplar for Thai society, stating that the defendant’s actions undermined these values.” We are thinking moral values like philandering, violence and bullying, among some bizarre behavior.
In suspending the sentence, the court cited the “defendant’s remorse and willingness to reform.”
Adding to the royalism of the court’s verdict, the court required that the “defendant must complete 24 hours of community service on significant royal anniversaries, including the birthday and death anniversary of … King Bhumibol…”.
Following the ruling, Nara posted a message on Facebook expressing relief and gratitude for being given a second chance with the suspended sentence.
The Bangkok Post says nothing about the nature of the alleged crime.
