Former Miss Thailand Namfon Suwannasuda has responded to the resurfaced controversy surrounding Boom Panadda's 2000 Miss Thailand pageant incident, where a nail pierced her high heel and required first aid. Namfon, who won the title in 1997, said she was not present at the 2000 event and declined to comment directly on whether bullying occurred. She noted that during her own competition, items occasionally went missing backstage due to the rush, but nothing escalated to injury or sabotage.
Regarding the "Do Good Foundation" charity drama, Namfon revealed she has never donated to Boom's foundation, despite admiring Boom's intentions. She explained that she prefers to make merit privately and quietly on her own. When asked about online calls for Boom to be stripped of her title, Namfon said the decision should rest with pageant organizers.
Namfon added that fellow former titleholders in their private group chat have not pressed her for comments, suggesting everyone understands the situation. She described Boom as a lovely, confident senior who invites juniors to join activities, while she herself remains low-key due to work commitments. Namfon emphasized that she has never contributed financially to the foundation, but supports Boom's efforts through moral encouragement.
