Central Women's Prison Lists Boom Pannada's Approved Visitors
Fraud suspect Pannada "Boom" Wongphudee has completed her five-day quarantine at the Central Women's Correctional Institution and will receive visits from three approved relatives on November 13. Prison officials are deciding which of three general wards she will enter next, noting she is adjusting well despite missing her child. Her lawyer confirmed the visiting schedule follows regulations but declined to detail the legal defense strategy.
At 10:00 a.m. on November 12, 2026, at the Central Women's Correctional Institution on Ngamwongwan Road in Bangkok's Chatuchak district, reporters gathered to track the movements of family and relatives of Pannada Wongphudee, known as "Boom," the former president of the Doing Good Foundation. She is a suspect in a fraud case involving donations to the foundation.
Acting Director Walailak Chumchuen disclosed by phone that Pannada's five-day quarantine for charges of public fraud, computer crime violations, and money laundering ends today. On November 13, relatives will be permitted to visit. The inmate has submitted three names: her mother, her younger sister Andaman, and one undisclosed person.
After quarantine, she will be transferred to one of three general population wards — Tapthim, Phet, or Mukda — with the decision due on November 13. Her daily activities will depend on her vocational preferences and any skills, such as language ability, that could benefit other inmates.
Walailak said Pannada is adjusting well but experiences some stress from missing her child, which is normal for a mother. She also expressed concern for her own mother outside prison. Reports that Pannada has been crying heavily likely originated from her legal team, but Walailak believes she is not crying to that extent.
Regarding rumors that Phuwanat "Ann" Kunplin would visit, he denied any plan to do so, stating the first visitors should be family or lawyers. Her lawyer, Ekasit "Phet" Sirasang, confirmed the visiting schedule follows prison regulations but declined to specify which family members would appear, though he may attend as legal counsel. He reserved comment on legal strategy but said updates on her condition could be shared, and that the seizure of her assets follows standard legal procedure.
