Offering further assurance of sincerity is actress Kwan Usamanee Waitayanon. She was asked about the controversy and public concern that Ajarn Beer Khon Tuen Tham might be under scrutiny regarding donation funds and a meditation center project amid ongoing investigations into foundations and celebrities in the entertainment industry.
Kwan sees this as a positive development that officials are conducting checks, and Ajarn Beer has a duty to ensure transparency. It is not a serious issue—just a matter of preparing documents properly. She is confident her brother, Ajarn Beer, has done nothing wrong.
Are many people worried that Ajarn Beer will be investigated?
“That’s good. I think everyone has their own professional responsibilities. Those tasked with investigating should do so. My brother’s role is to make everything transparent. The suspicions aren’t about wrongdoing or anything serious. We just need to present documents to make the information clear to everyone. That’s enough, and I think that settles it.”
“As I said, intent and actions are one and the same. We intend to do good, and our actions reflect that, regardless of who it involves. No one can harm us. Ultimately, I believe the truth will be proven. Knowing my brother and being close to him, I am certain he has done nothing wrong.”
“Some may misunderstand and think he did something wrong, but there’s no need to panic. People can misunderstand, and we can clarify and discuss. In the end, Ajarn Beer and another brother love each other.”
“Have you talked with Ajarn Beer? He is aware. I asked how things are and if he is worried, but everyone has different ways of answering. Ultimately, we must look at intent. I want fans of anyone involved to look at reason, information, and the truth first because it’s easy to lash out at someone, but that’s not the kind of society Thailand should be.”
“Even in this age of social media, respect is necessary. Some matters, especially private ones, should be discussed personally. Once we fully understand the truth, then we can make a judgment.”
Is Ajarn Beer stressed?
“I think Ajarn Beer has strong faith in how he lives his life. We can’t make everyone love us by how we express ourselves. I believe both have good intentions, just different ways of expressing them.”
Have you ever known or seen if the donation amounts were large?
“The donations I saw weren’t large. For example, when he did a livestream and received income, during floods he used that money to help victims. Another portion went to build a meditation center, fulfilling his intention to create a spiritual anchor for a small group.”
Are you afraid Ajarn Beer might change because of the large sums of money?
“I don’t think he will change. Money shows who a person truly is. If you start as a good person, no matter how much money comes in, if your intent is good and your mind is strong, nothing can undermine your life.”
