Kan Jompalang Responds to Financial Scrutiny of His Foundation

On September 4, 2026, activist Kan Jompalang addressed public scrutiny regarding the financial operations of his foundation, 'Kan Jompalang Chuay Soo.' This follows reports that lawyer Sitra Biabangkerd filed a request for authorities to investigate the foundation's financial records earlier that morning.

Addressing the media while in Pattaya, Chonburi, Kan Jompalang stated that he welcomes the investigation, asserting that 'the more one is inspected, the more honorable one becomes.' He emphasized that his organization has consistently cooperated with relevant authorities and has previously submitted necessary documentation. Regarding specific allegations that the foundation failed to submit financial statements for five to six months, Kan Jompalang cited a recent interview with a district director, who confirmed that the foundation had submitted its financial reports within the legally mandated timeframe.

For residents and visitors, this situation highlights an ongoing public dispute between prominent figures in Thailand’s social advocacy sector. While the foundation maintains that its records are compliant with the law, the situation remains a matter of public record and ongoing administrative verification. Observers are encouraged to rely on official evidence rather than social media speculation. As of now, no formal findings of wrongdoing have been issued by regulatory bodies, and the foundation continues its operations while awaiting further administrative processes.
