Legal Dispute Over 65 Million Baht Amulet Collection
A prominent figure known as 'Madame Keng' has appointed a legal team to negotiate with debtors following a 65 million baht fraud case involving 53 amulets.
On August 13, 2026, Ms. Dorn Thianthawornwong, widely known as 'Madame Keng,' visited the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) in Bangkok alongside renowned amulet expert 'Au Krung Siam' and her legal counsel. The purpose of the visit was to formalize documentation regarding a fraud case in which she alleges that three amulet dealers defrauded her of 65 million baht.
Madame Keng has officially appointed a legal team to handle negotiations with various debtors involved in her ongoing legal disputes. During the proceedings, she clarified that the 53 amulets associated with the 65 million baht valuation are currently not in her possession. The legal team spent over an hour with investigators to address both cases where she is the complainant and those where she is the respondent.
For residents and visitors, this case highlights the complexities and high financial stakes within Thailand’s specialized amulet trading market. While the legal process is underway, the situation remains fluid. It is important to note that the whereabouts of the 53 amulets and the final outcome of the fraud allegations are yet to be determined by the authorities. As this is an ongoing legal matter, further developments will depend on the findings of the CIB investigators and the success of the newly appointed legal team's negotiations.
