THE five friends of actress Pataratida Patcharawirapong, or Tangmo Nida, who were with her when she drowned in Chao Phraya river during a speedboat trip last February as well as their consultant were permitted to be bailed out by public prosecutors after Nonthaburi police took them along to file charges against them today (Apr. 26), Sanook.com said.

The public prosecutors said it is the duty of the investigating officer to obtain an initial bail of 200,000 baht for each of the suspects at the interrogation stage but the office could later apply different levels.
