Boom Panadda Weeps as Husband Faces Forest Encroachment Allegations

TV host Boom Panadda broke down in tears, shaking uncontrollably. Her close friend Ann Phuwanat said she had never seen Boom cry like this in all their years of friendship, and expressed absolute confidence in her — confidence shared, she said, by almost the entire country, except for a handful of pages that keep twisting the narrative.

The storm erupted after a well-known page accused Boom's husband, Got Athip, of involvement in encroaching on more than 100 rai of protected or restricted forest land in Ban Na district, Nakhon Nayok, to create a trail running course. Got clarified that he did not invade the forest but leased usage rights from the military, insisting it was not a sale.

Boom posted that her heart was shattered; she had only just found out about the matter along with everyone else. She admitted she had been negligent due to trust, and announced she would hold a press conference with evidence on Tuesday, October 27, 2026.

Ann Phuwanat posted a heartfelt message about her friend, revealing Boom had called her around 00:10, sobbing heavily. Ann declared she stands on the side of truth and stands beside Boom: "You're not alone. Whatever is good, we share; whatever is bad, we fight together. I may not have broad shoulders, but my heart is strong for you." Boom replied with wai and crying emojis, while industry colleagues and fans flooded the comments with hearts and messages of support.
