Local Authorities Investigate Property in Khao Kho Following Online Allegations
Village officials and police in Phetchabun have inspected a secluded property on a hillside after social media claims linked it to a celebrity.
On November 13, 2026, local authorities in Khao Kho, Phetchabun, conducted an inspection of a property located in Ban Dok Champi, following viral social media claims that suggested the residence belonged to celebrity Panadda 'Boom' Wongphudee. The village headman, Uthai Phungpha, accompanied by officers from the Khao Kho Police Station, visited the site to verify the claims. The property is situated on a hillside approximately 500 meters from the village, spanning an estimated 2 to 3 rai. The structure is a single-story elevated concrete building featuring glass facades and a balcony equipped with a bathtub. While the exterior is monitored by security cameras and includes large water storage tanks, the interior remains inaccessible as the doors were locked. The site currently relies on solar-powered lighting, as a formal electrical grid connection has not yet been established. For residents and visitors, this incident highlights ongoing scrutiny regarding land use and property ownership in the scenic Khao Kho district. While the investigation was prompted by online speculation, authorities have not yet confirmed the identity of the property owner or the legality of the construction. Further inquiries are expected as officials work to determine who holds the rights to the land and whether the development complies with local zoning regulations.
