The Economic Crime Suppression Division chief revealed that donations to the Good Deed Foundation across three accounts exceeded 815 million baht. Of this, more than 527 million baht were transferred from the main account for personal use, including purchasing insurance, funds, hiring a builder for a pool villa, as well as buying jewelry, branded bags, and paying credit card bills.
On 7 Nov 2026 at the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB), Pol. Maj. Gen. Thatphoom Charuprat, commander of the Economic Crime Suppression Division (ECD), gave an update on the investigation into Boom Panadda Wongpudi’s foundation.
He stated that in November 2015, Boom Panadda invited people to donate money online into a bank account of the Good Deed organization, which was her personal account, claiming the donations would be used for charitable activities helping those in need.
In December 2017, she created a Facebook page named Good Deed organization to encourage donations into the account opened in 2015. As donations increased, she then established a foundation, officially registered in March 2022 with the local registrar, naming it the Good Deed Foundation, with Boom Panadda as chairperson and a five-member board.
In April 2022, the Facebook page was renamed from Good Deed organization to Good Deed Foundation. By July 2022, a board meeting endorsed the personal account opened in 2015 as the main donation account, and on the same day, approved opening a foundation account in the foundation’s name.
Afterward, donations were accepted through both accounts simultaneously without closing the original account. In December 2022, a Facebook post invited donations to the newly opened foundation account.
In June 2025, the foundation moved from Bang Khen district to Pathum Thani Province, where land had been previously purchased. At that time, Boom Panadda opened another bank account, a personal one named Good Deed Support Account, which was not a foundation account. She had sole authority over it and solicited donations from the public to help build the new foundation.
In summary, there were three donation accounts: first, Boom Panadda’s personal account; second, the foundation’s account; and third, the support account also in her name. Investigations found she was the sole authorized signatory on all three accounts.
Financial analysis showed that from 2015 to present, the three accounts collectively received over 3 million donations from 1 million donors, totaling more than 800 million baht.
During this period, funds were transferred from the foundation’s account to Boom Panadda’s personal accounts, and from fund accounts back to the support account, also personal. This was allegedly due to foundation regulations limiting withdrawals over 500,000 baht to board approval, with exceptions for urgent cases. The transfers appeared to be a scheme to facilitate moving money out of the main account.
Further checks revealed that some funds were used for foundation activities, but most were spent on personal matters, which violated the foundation’s purpose.
Breaking down the accounts, the main account had over 600 million baht transferred out. About 520 million baht funded 12 main activities. For example, funds were transferred into nine sub-accounts totaling approximately 243 million baht, and to Got Atip Sathie in three accounts amounting to about 99 million baht. Additionally, 4.6 million baht went to Boom Panadda’s father, 18 million baht to a builder constructing a pool villa in Phuket, and 36 million baht to a foundation board member, which requires further investigation.
It was also found that two legal entities linked to builder Ae received 2.4 million baht and another entity 17 million baht. Investigators will need to verify how these funds were used.
Moreover, 10 million baht was spent on life insurance with Boom Panadda as the beneficiary. Later, 24 million baht was invested in six funds. From these fund accounts, purchases of jewelry and branded bags totaling over 2.7 million baht were made. There were also over 30 cash withdrawals at bank counters amounting to more than 42 million baht.
Further financial flows showed payments of Boom Panadda’s personal credit card bills 251 times across two cards, totaling approximately 19 million baht, from the fund accounts.
Another transfer from the foundation’s fund account to Boom Panadda’s personal account occurred multiple times, totaling about 100 million baht. Additional transfers included 6 million baht in three transactions to her account, 23 million baht in 15 transfers to Got Atip’s accounts, and 21 million baht withdrawn in 16 bank counter transactions. Part of this money paid over 300,000 baht for residence installment and common area fees.
The third account, the support account opened by Boom Panadda to solicit donations for building the new foundation in Pathum Thani, transferred about 12 million baht to Boom Panadda’s personal account in 44 transactions, over 500,000 baht to Got Atip, and 880,000 baht to a businessman in Chiang Mai, whose involvement is under investigation.
In total, investigations found about 527 million baht diverted from the three donation accounts. Based on this, evidence was gathered and arrest warrants issued first for Boom Panadda and Got Atip on three charges: conspiracy to commit fraud, falsifying computer data, and money laundering.
Pol. Maj. Gen. Thatphoom added that initially there was no indication Got Atip was involved in fraud, but he was implicated in asset transfers and money receipt, constituting money laundering. Consequently, on the previous Thursday, the Criminal Court approved arrest warrants before investigators searched four locations.
Searches at all four locations yielded substantial evidence related to the case. Investigators brought the evidence to the ECD headquarters and found additional assets believed to be proceeds of crime, including several branded bags valued at 3–4 million baht and some jewelry.
During questioning, the primary suspect Boom Panadda denied the charges but admitted to conducting financial transactions and misusing funds, claiming confusion due to the volume of transactions required.
Got Atip denied all allegations, stating he acted under Boom Panadda’s instructions. However, investigators found that both were involved as husband and wife both in fact and law.
The prosecution will be divided into stages: the first involves the main suspects Boom Panadda and Got Atip; the second concerns the foundation’s board members, builder Ae, and builder M, whose involvement as accomplices, close witnesses, or suspects in money laundering will be determined.
The third stage concerns the financial trail involving various individuals including the father, Chiang Mai businessman, and others identified later during the investigation.
