DSI Questions Former Gun Chom Palang Foundation President

On November 13, 2026, the Department of Special Investigation (DSI) conducted a two-hour interrogation of Kanchana Sathavorn, the former president of the Gun Chom Palang Foundation. The questioning follows a formal complaint filed on September 7 by lawyer Sitra Biabangkerd, who requested an investigation into the foundation's operations. Investigators focused on Kanchana's tenure, specifically examining the procedures for withdrawing and managing funds from the foundation's accounts. Following the session, Kanchana declined to provide detailed comments to the media, stating only that the public should wait and see how the situation develops. The DSI is currently conducting a broader investigation into the foundation's financial activities, including complex money trails and the overall use of assets. This inquiry is part of an ongoing legal process to determine if the foundation's expenditures complied with its internal regulations and relevant laws. For residents and observers, this case highlights the scrutiny placed on non-profit organizations in Thailand regarding transparency and financial accountability. As the investigation is still in its preliminary stages, the DSI has not yet reached a final conclusion or filed formal charges. Further developments depend on the evidence gathered during the ongoing audit of the foundation's financial records.
