Actress Bow Melda Addresses Housing Dispute, Charity Foundation Controversy
Thai actress Bow Melda says she retains faith in charitable giving despite the scandal engulfing the Boom Panadda foundation, confirming she donated but will not pursue legal action over what she calls a modest sum. Separately, she reveals a housing developer is pressuring her to transfer ownership of a new home before a professional defect inspection is completed, a step she insists is contractually required.
Actress Bow Melda, known for frequently extending help to those in distress, recently led the 'Girl Over' cast from the hit Netflix comedy film in an aerobics session at Lumpini Park. There, she opened up about two hot topics: her unresolved housing dispute and the charity foundation scandal.
Regarding the house, she explained the issue is not yet resolved because she has been too busy working to conduct the defect inspection. The housing project has been pressing her to transfer ownership, but she insists the defect check must come first. She hired a specialized firm that conducted a thorough inspection, including drone surveys and water testing. The village needs to fix all detailed defects before she accepts the transfer, and she feels annoyed by the rushed pressure when proper procedures and time remain.
On the charity controversy involving the Boom Panadda foundation allegedly siphoning donations, Bow Melda stated she personally has not lost faith in making merit. She acknowledged there are still legitimate channels where donations genuinely help people, and the foundation has shown some transparency. She admitted donating to them previously but refuses to file a police report, considering it a small amount she gave to the best of her ability. She plans to vet foundations more carefully before future donations.
