Treasurer of Bum Foundation Meets Police Over 36 Million Baht Financial Inquiry
The treasurer of the Ongkorn Tham Dee Foundation has submitted documentation to the Economic Crime Suppression Division regarding a 36 million baht financial investigation.
On November 13, 2026, the treasurer of the Ongkorn Tham Dee Foundation, known as 'Angun,' met with officers from the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD) to address inquiries regarding 36 million baht in foundation funds. According to a report by Thai Post, the treasurer arrived with two boxes of documentation to clarify the financial records of the organization, which is associated with the well-known public figure 'Bum.'
During the meeting, the treasurer maintained that all funds were utilized exclusively for public assistance missions and charitable activities. She explicitly denied any allegations of personal misappropriation, asserting that every transaction can be accounted for and that no foundation money was ever deposited into private accounts.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this development highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny regarding the transparency of charitable organizations. While the foundation has proactively cooperated with authorities to provide evidence, the investigation remains active. It is currently unconfirmed whether the police will require further documentation or if additional audits will be conducted to verify the claims made by the foundation. Observers are waiting for official statements from the ECD regarding the next steps in this financial review. The situation serves as a reminder of the importance of financial compliance for non-profit entities operating within the country.
