Former Minister Pichit Chuenban Donates Book Proceeds to Charity
Pichit Chuenban has donated the initial proceeds from his book, 'Justice Lost,' to the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand.
On July 30, 2026, former Minister to the Prime Minister's Office, Pichit Chuenban, announced via social media that he has donated the entire first round of proceeds from the sale of his book, 'Justice Lost' (Khwam Yutitham Thi Lon Hai), to the Foundation for the Blind in Thailand under the Royal Patronage of His Majesty the King.
According to Khaosod Online, the donation was made during the Asalha Puja holiday, a significant Buddhist observance. Pichit stated that the funds are intended to support the foundation’s efforts in improving the quality of life for children and youth with multiple disabilities.
For residents and expatriates in Thailand, this event highlights the ongoing philanthropic activities of public figures during major religious holidays. While the donation is a personal charitable act, it reflects the cultural importance of merit-making in Thai society. At this time, there is no information regarding the total amount donated or whether future proceeds from the book will be allocated to the same cause. Readers interested in the book's content or the foundation's work should monitor official updates from the author or the organization for further details.
