Bangkok Governor Wins Anti-Corruption Award

Bangkok Governor Nai Chatchat Sittiphan received an outstanding anti-corruption award on July 20 at Bangkok City Hall from a delegation of the Anti-Corruption Foundation led by Lieutenant General Theeradej Chatsethiapongse and Dr. Nattanya Pattanavanichnan. The foundation recognized Chatchat for his commitment to honest, transparent governance and efforts to transform Bangkok's operations into a digital system to reduce official discretion and improve public services. The administration has also published government data for public oversight, integrated artificial intelligence technology to enhance corruption case monitoring, and encouraged affiliated agencies to adopt ISO 37001 anti-bribery management standards to strengthen governance and reduce corruption risk. The foundation praised Bangkok's use of the Traffy Fondue platform as an effective corruption reporting channel and expressed hope that Bangkok will win the outstanding anti-corruption organization award next year. In 2026, five individuals were selected to receive this honor award, which recognizes organizations and people of integrity, honesty, transparency, and volunteering who actively promote anti-corruption and serve as role models for good governance. Chatchat said Bangkok and the foundation discussed future cooperation including anti-corruption charity runs, school mural projects to help students express anti-corruption views through art, and expanding the Clean Community Village project to promote personal integrity among Bangkok residents through collaboration with temples, schools, mosques, and churches.
