According to a report by Thai Post on August 23, 2026, the Secretary-General of King Prajadhipok’s Institute has officially addressed allegations concerning the 'PPR 30' training program. Recent claims suggested that seats in the prestigious course were being sold in exchange for money.

The Secretary-General categorically denied these accusations, labeling them as 'baseless' and 'untrue.' To support this stance, the Institute revealed that applicants have provided written statements confirming that they neither offered nor provided any financial benefits or bribes to secure their positions in the program. The Institute has indicated its intention to pursue legal action to the fullest extent against those spreading these claims.

For residents and those interested in local academic or professional networks, this development highlights the Institute's efforts to maintain the integrity of its training programs. While the administration has firmly rejected the allegations, the situation remains a matter of ongoing scrutiny as the Institute prepares to take further action against the sources of these rumors. Observers should wait for official updates regarding any potential legal proceedings or further investigations into the origin of these claims. As of now, the Institute maintains that the selection process remains transparent and free from corruption.
