Actress Mam Vichuda Files Complaint Against Foundation Over Donation Transparency
Thai actress Mam Vichuda has filed a police complaint regarding a 50,000 baht donation made to the Ongkorn Tamdee Foundation, seeking clarification on tax documentation and organizational status.
On November 5, 2026, Thai actress Mam Vichuda Pindum, accompanied by her legal counsel, filed a formal complaint at the Central Investigation Bureau. The actress reported that she had previously donated 50,000 baht to the Ongkorn Tamdee Foundation, led by Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee, to assist with flood relief efforts. According to the actress, she initiated the donation after contacting Panadda privately and receiving the foundation's account details. The primary issue raised by the actress concerns her request for tax deduction documentation. She stated that she was informed by Panadda that such documents could not be issued at the time because the foundation had not yet completed its formal registration process. Mam Vichuda expressed that she is seeking a direct explanation from Panadda regarding the status of the donation and the foundation's operational standing. For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this case highlights the importance of verifying the registration status of charitable organizations before making significant financial contributions. As of now, the matter remains under investigation, and the public is awaiting a formal response from the foundation regarding the specific details of the donation and the organization's legal status.
