Department of Provincial Administration Files Complaint Against 'Ongkorn Thamdee' Foundation
Thai authorities have initiated legal action against the 'Ongkorn Thamdee' foundation for allegedly soliciting flood relief donations without the required permits.
The Department of Provincial Administration has officially filed a complaint with the Nang Loeng Police Station against the 'Ongkorn Thamdee' foundation and associated individuals. According to reports from Prachachat Business, the department conducted an investigation and found no evidence that the foundation had obtained the necessary legal authorization to solicit public donations. The foundation had been actively promoting campaigns to collect funds from the public intended for flood relief efforts. Authorities allege that these actions constitute a violation of the Control of Public Solicitation Act. For residents and visitors in Thailand, this case highlights the importance of verifying the legitimacy of charitable organizations before contributing funds. While the foundation is currently under investigation, it remains to be confirmed how the legal proceedings will unfold and whether the organization will face formal charges or administrative penalties. The public is advised to exercise caution and ensure that any charitable contributions are made through officially registered and permitted entities to avoid potential fraud or legal complications. Further updates are expected as the police investigation continues.
