MP Korrawee Prissananantakul Addresses Asset Disclosure Controversy

On August 3, 2026, Bhumjaithai Party MP for Ang Thong, Korrawee Prissananantakul, addressed public questions regarding his asset disclosure at the Thai Parliament. The inquiry centered on land and property previously subject to a Supreme Court asset seizure order involving his father, former Education Minister Somsak Prissananantakul, a decade ago.

Korrawee clarified that the court’s original seizure order applied specifically to the house, not the land. He explained that the land was inherited from his maternal uncle and subsequently transferred to his mother, who then placed it under the names of her four children. Regarding the house, Korrawee stated that the four siblings collectively repurchased the property after it was sold at a public auction by the government. He emphasized that the assets were disclosed transparently in accordance with legal requirements.

For residents and expatriates, this clarification highlights the importance of understanding property ownership history in Thailand, particularly regarding assets previously involved in legal disputes. While the MP maintains that the acquisition was conducted legally and transparently, the situation serves as a reminder of the complexities surrounding inherited property and government-seized assets. It remains to be confirmed how regulatory bodies will review these disclosures and whether further inquiries into the family's asset history will arise.
