According to a report by Thai Post on November 7, 2026, a well-known celebrity couple, identified as 'Boom' and 'God', has been taken into custody by the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD). The pair faces serious allegations involving the embezzlement of funds exceeding 900 million baht from the Ongkorn Tham Dee Foundation.
Following their detention, the court denied bail for 'God', citing the substantial scale of the alleged financial damage, the risk of witness tampering, and the potential flight risk.
