BWG Legal Counsel Calls for Poonsak to Recuse Himself from Investigation

According to a report by Thai Post on August 26, 2026, legal representatives for Better World Green (BWG) have formally requested that Poonsak step down from his role in overseeing an investigation into the company. The request is based on allegations of a potential conflict of interest, as Poonsak’s wife reportedly holds an executive position in environmental management at a competing firm.

For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this development highlights ongoing scrutiny within the industrial waste management sector. While this situation is primarily a corporate and administrative matter, it underscores the complex regulatory environment surrounding environmental oversight in the country. Transparency in such investigations is often a point of public interest, as it can influence industry standards and environmental compliance policies that affect local communities.

At this stage, it remains to be confirmed how Poonsak will respond to these demands and whether the relevant oversight bodies will acknowledge the request for his recusal. There has been no official statement regarding the validity of the conflict of interest claims or any immediate changes to the investigative panel. Observers are waiting to see if this challenge will lead to a formal review of the investigation's impartiality or if the current proceedings will continue as planned.
