Two notes, dated Feb 12 and 16, were found in a mobile phone belonging to one of the victims of the apparent suicide.

Police said the suicide notes were about money the family had to pay to remain in business. They had tried everything they could, but to no avail. They were at a deadlock.

Kanthapong reportedly had a debt of over 10 million baht.

A source said it appeared the five family members took tranquilizer pills and placed a lit charcoal stove inside the bedroom.

According to the Bangkok Post a relative told police he had been in contact with the family around 11pm on Wednesday. Since then he had been unable to raise them.
