Chaichanok Addresses 40 Million Baht Bribery Case Before Parliamentary Committee
Chaichanok Chidchob has testified before a parliamentary committee regarding a 40 million baht bribery allegation, stating that all evidence has been handed over to authorities.
On September 17, 2026, Chaichanok Chidchob appeared before the House Committee on Law, Justice, and Human Rights to provide testimony regarding a 40 million baht bribery case. According to Thai Post, Chaichanok confirmed that he has already submitted all relevant evidence to both the police and the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).
During the session, Chaichanok expressed uncertainty when questioned about whether the individual who allegedly offered the bribe actually exists or possesses the capacity to operate a gambling website. Despite this, he maintained his belief that the case has a factual basis. He further noted that since he publicly declared his stance against such practices, no further attempts have been made to offer him bribes. Worasit Kanokworakul, another individual involved, also stated that he has nothing to hide and is prepared to provide information to the committee.
For residents and travelers, this case highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding corruption and illegal gambling operations in Thailand. While the investigation is active, the primary uncertainty remains the identity and legitimacy of the alleged bribe-giver. As the police and the NACC continue their work, the public awaits further clarification on whether the bribery attempt was a genuine criminal act or a fabrication. Chaichanok emphasized that he will not interfere with the police investigation, leaving the resolution of the case to the relevant legal authorities.
