Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee Steps Down as President of Ongkorn Tamdee Foundation

On October 29, 2026, the Ongkorn Tamdee Foundation, through its legal department, announced that Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee has ceased her duties as president of the organization. The foundation also declared an immediate suspension of all donation channels. This decision follows internal scrutiny regarding the construction of the foundation's facility in Pathum Thani province. According to the foundation's statement, issues arose concerning the payment for the construction of the office building, storage facilities, and emergency response center located in Rangsit Khlong 8. The foundation claims that while they were notified to settle construction costs, there were discrepancies regarding the acknowledgment of these obligations. The facility was originally intended to serve as a storage hub for donated goods, a base for rescue teams, and a temporary shelter for victims of domestic and sexual violence. For residents and those involved in local charitable activities, this development marks a significant shift in the foundation's operations. It remains to be confirmed how the suspension of donations will impact ongoing rescue operations and the support services previously provided to vulnerable individuals. Further details regarding the financial status of the construction project and the future leadership of the foundation are expected to be clarified by the organization's legal representatives in due course.
