Bum Panadda Apologizes to Society and Donors, Admits Trusting Close Associate, Vows to Make Things Right

After Bum Panadda Wongpudi arrived at the Crime Suppression Division (CSD) accompanied by lawyer Phet Eksit Srisang her personal attorney to file a report against Gott Athip Anantawan and Chang Ae for being deceived into transferring money from the Doing Good Foundation to pay for a pool villa in Phuket, amid a large media presence covering the story.

Most recently, Bum Panadda has met with police and then spoke to the press, saying, “First of all, I want to apologize (raising hands in a respectful gesture). I want to apologize to society and all the donors sincerely from my heart. Also, today I admit it was a mistake to trust someone very close to me—someone I trusted deeply. This was my own error.”

“So today, I came to file a complaint to recover as much property as possible to return to the foundation. As everyone knows me, they know I’m straightforward. From my heart, I openly say that for any responsibilities or mistakes, I will use my personal assets to make things right as much as possible. I will not back down and will fight to restore everything properly.”

“Regarding the complaint filed by Khun Oi Sri, I want to show my sincerity by being willing to give testimony, speak openly, and present all documents fully. I will not run away. I will stay here and fight. Are we fighting? Yes, we fight for what is right—as everyone wants. I also ask lawyer Phet to handle the matter going forward. I’ve been scolded a lot by the lawyers for having to speak. Thank you.”

When a reporter asked what charges were filed against Gott, lawyer Phet said, “I can’t say because if I do, I will withdraw. Please allow me to proceed. Please give me space.” Then Bum Panadda raised her hands in a respectful gesture and walked to the van with lawyer Phet.
