Ning Panita Drops Charity Fraud Charges, Reveals Vocal Cord Struggles
Thai actress Ning Panita says she will not pursue legal action over her donation to the foundation at the center of the Boom Panadda charity fraud case. In a wide-ranging interview, she also revealed she is managing vocal cord nodules caused by overwork and delaying surgery to finish her current lakorn, while describing her love life as casually talking with no official partner.
Actress-singer Ning Panita says she will not press charges after donating to the foundation linked to Boom Panadda, who was arrested on November 5, 2026, over a charity fraud case. Speaking at the AumAum market launch at Central WestGate, Ning also opened up about her vocal cord nodules caused by heavy workload, her decision to delay surgery until her lakorn wraps, and her single-but-talking relationship status.
On her vocal health, Ning explained: "The doctor wants me to rest long-term because there's a nodule on my vocal cords. But I still have filming commitments nearly wrapped, so I'm pushing through to finish before surgery. If I operate now, I'd need months off. The symptoms come and go — not severe, but when I work I need steroids, which cause swelling and discomfort." She confirmed the condition stems from overwork: live selling, acting as a lead actress, and constant voice use.
Medically, it's vocal cord inflammation with a nodule. Surgery is scheduled but she's not mentally ready — recovery would take a month and she has about three filming blocks left. Her doctor warned that delaying risks permanent voice loss, which would end her career. She's now learning to use a different vocal register to spare her cords.
Asked if she has a limit, Ning smiled: "People like me don't really have limits. When work comes, I do it." On relationships, she said she has no boyfriend and no special caregiver. "My status is 'talking with no label' — everyone knows there's no courtship, no official start. I'm just not ready." She laughed off rumors about a ring on her left ring finger: "It's my own ring, still on installment. Usually I wear it on the right, but the left fit better today."
