The Department of Corrections revealed that Boom and Got spent their second night in jail and are adapting well. Boom reads novels and watches TV, requested indigestion medicine, and is eagerly awaiting lunch of stir-fried minced pork with basil and fruit. Got sleeps normally and expressed concern for his wife. Relatives plan their first visit on 12 Nov. Officials will cut inmates' hair according to regulations before classification into reception areas.
On the evening of 7 Nov 2026, correctional officers took Panadda Wongpudi, or “Boom,” former chairperson of the Good Deeds Organization Foundation, and Athip Anantawan, or “Got,” suspects in a charity donation fraud case, from the Ratchadaphisek Criminal Court to be detained during investigation. Boom was sent to the Central Women's Correctional Institution, while Got was sent to Bangkok Special Prison.
Both remain in a five-day quarantine within their respective isolation rooms before undergoing inmate classification and separation upon completion. Investigators have a legal timeframe of 84 days, or seven extensions, to complete the case file and submit it to the prosecutor.
On 9 Nov 2026, the Department of Corrections' spokesperson reported receiving updates from the commanders of Bangkok Special Prison and the Central Women's Correctional Institution regarding the inmates' conditions. The quarantine period runs from 7 to 12 Nov 2026.
Regarding haircuts, officials will perform them after quarantine ends and before inmate classification meetings, as per Department of Corrections regulations. Male inmates must have short hair, with the front and top no longer than 5 centimeters, and the sides trimmed progressively no longer than clipper size 2.
Female inmates may keep long hair past their shoulders but must tie or secure it neatly for hygiene and sanitation within the prison.
Inside the quarantine room at Bangkok Special Prison, Athip or Got shows no signs of depression, sleeps normally, interacts with fellow inmates, and eats all meals. He remains concerned about his wife.
Got has not requested any special items, asked additional questions, or requested to see the prison psychologist. However, staff have been instructed to monitor his condition closely and will arrange psychological support if he expresses interest.
Boom Panadda has adapted well inside the Central Women's Correctional Institution's quarantine room, maintaining good morale. She reads novels, watches television as provided by the institution, and converses with fellow inmates.
For dinner on 8 Nov, Boom ate boiled eggs and jungle curry with catfish and requested indigestion medicine from officials. Overall, she shows no concerning symptoms and sleeps normally.
For breakfast on 9 Nov, the menu was chicken rice porridge, but Boom did not eat, as she usually skips breakfast. She plans to eat lunch instead, which will be stir-fried minced pork with basil and fruit.
Boom's only current worry is for her child and mother outside. She leaves all legal matters to her lawyers.
Regarding visits, the Department of Corrections states that during quarantine, lawyers may meet inmates via video conference while the inmates remain in isolation. Family visits must wait until quarantine ends to proceed normally.
Prisons allow visits Monday through Friday, excluding public holidays. Visitors must be on a pre-registered list of no more than 10 people. Boom and Got's relatives plan their first visit on Thursday, 12 Nov. So far, no lawyer has requested to visit Boom.
After quarantine ends, inmates undergo training and classification to determine their appropriate housing unit and security level. This considers their status—whether awaiting trial, serving sentences, elderly, disabled, or vulnerable—and assesses safety and control risks.
It is likely that Boom and Got will be classified into the reception areas of the Central Women's Correctional Institution and Bangkok Special Prison, respectively.
