Designer Pla Finale Expresses Disillusionment with Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee
Fashion designer Pla Finale has publicly severed ties with celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee following recent controversies, citing a loss of faith after years of support.
During the 23rd-anniversary celebration of 'Finale Wedding Studio' at the Bangkok City International Fashion Week 2026, designer Pla Finale addressed the ongoing controversy surrounding celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee. Pla, who has maintained a close 20-year relationship with Panadda, expressed deep shock and emotional distress regarding recent legal and public revelations involving her. The designer revealed that he had previously donated over 500,000 baht to Panadda's charitable organization, 'Ongkorn Tham Dee,' out of genuine faith and a desire to contribute to social causes. However, in light of recent developments, Pla stated that he now feels his past support was misplaced, suggesting that the public persona he witnessed over the last two decades may have been part of a calculated effort to raise funds. Consequently, he has decided to cut all ties with her. For residents and observers of Thai celebrity culture, this incident highlights the complexities of public trust and the scrutiny surrounding charitable activities led by high-profile figures. While Pla has publicly declared his loss of faith and intent to let the legal process take its course, the specific details of the allegations and the outcome of the ongoing legal proceedings remain to be confirmed by the relevant authorities.
