Popular influencer Pond Jakkrit has responded after his Facebook account was suspended, confirming he is still working as usual and sees no reason to close his own page. The move comes after his name was submitted for scrutiny over donations to the Sai Thara Saphan Bun Association, of which he is an appointed influencer and well-known rescue volunteer, also the founder of a project providing free nationwide transport for the deceased. With over 6 million followers, social media users have been closely watching whether Pond had shut down his Facebook to evade attention. He recently posted screenshots showing multiple appeals filed with Facebook due to the platform suspending his account, captioning them: "Why would I sit here closing and opening my own Facebook? I'm still here as normal, working every day. There's no reason for me to close it." Comments poured in from fans offering encouragement and speculation — some wishing him through the situation, others noting technical glitches when logging into multiple accounts on one device, and many urging him not to worry, saying transparency will prevail if he has done nothing wrong.
