Karnchai to Sue Tak, Ball, Jazz in Charity Fund Dispute
Entertainer Karnchai plans to file police charges against fellow celebrities Tak Buriboon, Ball Choenyim, and Jazz Chuanchuen over a charity donation dispute. The group allegedly raised funds from the public during flood relief concerts and forwarded them to Bum Panadda's foundation. Karnchai, who donated one million baht, says he will also file a complaint himself, changing his legal status from witness to complainant, citing misleading promotional tactics that pressured ordinary citizens to donate.
Karnchai is preparing to file a police report against Tak Buriboon, Ball Choenyim, Jazz Chuanchuen, and Pee Nui. Tak and his group have reportedly already retained lawyers. The dispute stems from a one-million-baht donation Karnchai made to Bum Panadda's Tham Dee Foundation. During recent floods, Tak, Jazz, Ball, and Pee Nui organized a concert to collect money from the public to pass on to Bum's foundation. Karnchai says Tak should file a complaint on behalf of the villagers since they gathered funds from locals and forwarded them to Bum. Karnchai also plans to file his own complaint, shifting from witness to complainant. He recounts being troubled by a conversation with Professor Arthan, who said he donated simply to 'follow the young man.' Karnchai criticizes the event's promotion, claiming it turned into faith-based advertising after celebrities like Bella, Chompoo Araya, and Khun Phutth Aphiwan were shown donating. He argues this implied endorsement pressured ordinary people to give. Karnchai tells Bum's fans not to criticize him, stating he is following the facts and police disclosures.
