Prasit Jeawkok Sentenced to Additional 1,244 Years in Investment Fraud Case
The Criminal Court has sentenced Prasit Jeawkok to 1,244 years in prison for his role in a fraudulent tour package investment scheme.
On November 11, 2026, the Criminal Court in Bangkok delivered a verdict in a major fraud case involving Mandawee Tour Co., Ltd., and associated entities. Prasit Jeawkok, the former chairman of the 'Return the Value to the Land' project, was sentenced to an additional 1,244 years in prison. The court also imposed a fine of 93 million baht on three companies linked to the scheme. The charges, which include public fraud and violations of the Computer Crimes Act, stem from a deceptive investment program involving tour packages. This sentence is to be served consecutively with seven previous convictions already handed down by the Criminal Court. Kittisak Yennanont, the vice president of the M Group, was also named as a defendant in the proceedings. For residents and visitors, this case highlights the importance of verifying the legitimacy of investment opportunities and travel-related business ventures in Thailand. While the court has issued this significant ruling, the legal proceedings regarding the recovery of funds for victims and the finality of all appeals remain ongoing. Authorities continue to monitor such financial schemes to protect the public from similar fraudulent activities.
