Corruption Verdict Issued for Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Administrative Organization Officials

According to a report by Matichon Online on September 4, 2026, the Criminal Court for Corruption and Misconduct Cases Region 8 has concluded a trial concerning corruption allegations within the Nakhon Si Thammarat Provincial Administrative Organization (PAO).

The court acquitted the former Director of the Supplies Division of the Nakhon Si Thammarat PAO, finding insufficient evidence to hold them liable for the charges. However, other individuals involved in the case were found guilty, receiving prison sentences ranging from one to three years.

For residents and expatriates, this verdict highlights the ongoing judicial oversight of local government administrative processes in Thailand.
