Charity Chief Accused of Using Donations for Phuket Pool Villa

Oysri urges Buam Panadda to stop crying, saying even if her tears turned to blood, the facts would not change, and asks if she is exhausted because she has no money left for the pool villa. Lawyers are proceeding with a police complaint and have invited two well-known MCs to testify as witnesses on October 29. The drama began with donations to Buam Panadda Wongphudi's Tham Dee Foundation, which allegedly used the money to build a pool villa in Phuket, sparking public questions and demands for an explanation. Oysri and Phung Phueak, who previously donated to Buam's foundation, have now raised concerns about the suspicious use of donated funds. They said they trusted Buam as foundation chairwoman and therefore lacked caution when transferring money, but argue that once a foundation exists, personal accounts should be closed and only foundation accounts used for transparency. When Buam recently said she wanted to step down from the foundation, it raised the question of whether she is exhausted from having to close personal accounts or worried about losing funding for the pool villa. Buam herself told Oysri to go all the way, and Oysri vows to do so. Despite Buam's tears, Oysri insists the truth remains that personal accounts were used to mislead donors into thinking they were foundation accounts. They are not enemies; the disclosure serves the public interest. Buam alone controls the accounts, so she cannot claim ignorance or blame her husband. Lawyer Thanakorn Noipithak, legal advisor for Oysri and Phung Phueak Co., Ltd., confirmed that after Buam told Oysri to proceed fully, they will file criminal charges against the Tham Dee Foundation for fraud, Computer Crime Act violations, and money laundering, and also lodge a complaint with the Anti-Money Laundering Office. In 2025, Oysri donated 1,000 baht to Buam with pure intent to help flood victims, confirming no personal vendetta. Meanwhile, Kan Chomphlang, who knows Buam and is a genuine client of the company, was also warned that if clear evidence shows the Kan Chomphlang Foundation exploited public benefit or committed fraud, they would take action as well. Oysri also revealed evidence from court authority showing that another foundation, Pen Khong, had funds transferred by Khun Ton Ao into personal accounts, including her husband's and child's accounts. Oysri urges the public to stay rational and questions whether accepting personal accounts for a foundation is actually permissible, noting that if the Kan Chomphlang Foundation did the same, it would face heavy criticism.
