Mai Khao OrBorTor Orders Pool Villa Fix, Flags Forgery Concerns
Phuket's Mai Khao Subdistrict Administrative Organization ordered corrections within 30 days for a pool villa project linked to "Boom Panadda" after finding construction violations and missing permits. Officials confirmed the permit application documents appear legally complete with a power of attorney granted to a contractor, but cannot verify signature authenticity. They recommended Boom Panadda file a police report if she believes signatures were forged.
Phuket — The Mai Khao Subdistrict Administrative Organization (OrBorTor Mai Khao) has released documents concerning the case of "Boom Panadda," who allegedly granted power of attorney to a contractor to submit a pool villa construction permit. Officials ordered corrections within 30 days under threat of legal demolition. If the owner wishes to continue construction, a new permit and revised plans must be submitted. Regarding suspicions of forged signatures, officials recommended filing a police report for investigation.
November 3, 2026 — Media reported progress on the case of a pool villa construction permit application in Baan Dan Yid, Moo 3, Mai Khao Subdistrict, Thalang District, Phuket. The applicant listed was "Boom Panadda," Miss Panadda Wongphudee, president of the Good Deeds Foundation, who has faced public criticism over suspicions about signatures on the construction permit documents.
Latest, Mr. Chalermpong Charoensri, Director of the Public Works Division of OrBorTor Mai Khao, revealed that two violation notices were posted at the project site. The first case involved a building constructed not in accordance with the plans approved by OrBorTor Mai Khao. The second case involved another completed building for which no construction permit had been sought from OrBorTor Mai Khao, necessitating an order prohibiting use of the building.
The landowner, listed in documents as "Boom Panadda," can contact OrBorTor Mai Khao to apply for a new permit and correct the plans if they intend to continue construction.
Mr. Chalermpong added that a land records check revealed two adjacent one-rai plots. Only the rear plot's title deed was submitted with the permit application. The front plot, adjacent to the road, has no permit application on record and its ownership is unknown. The rear plot's documents list Boom Panadda as the landowner.
Regarding the document and signature concerns, Mr. Chalermpong stated that although "Boom Panadda" did not submit the documents in person, a power of attorney was prepared authorizing "Chang E" (the contractor) to act on her behalf. The submitted documents were complete and followed legal procedures. The power of attorney also bore the signature of a female witness, along with supporting documents: construction permit application form, power of attorney, house registration copy, and ID card copy, all with signatures and certifications.
Acting Legal Officer Surasak Duangkae of OrBorTor Mai Khao disclosed that besides posting the order at the pool villa project site, OrBorTor Mai Khao also mailed the same documents to the landowner to inform them of the order. If the landowner wishes to amend the permit or revise plans, they can contact OrBorTor Mai Khao immediately.
Regarding Boom Panadda's dispute that she was unaware of the construction project and suspected signature forgery, Acting Legal Officer Surasak stated that OrBorTor's legal team and public works division had thoroughly examined the permit application documents. They found the documents complete with signatures attributed to Boom Panadda appearing in the submitted paperwork. However, OrBorTor's examination cannot prove whether the signatures are genuine or forged, as that requires a legal verification process. If Boom Panadda believes the signatures are forged, she should file a police report.
