Deputy Interior Minister Phonphir revealed that the Good Deeds Organization Foundation, chaired by Boom Panadda, failed to submit income and expense documents by the deadline. The ministry plans to petition the court to revoke the foundation's status, expecting the process to be swift as they await investigation documents from the police to support the petition.
11 Nov 2026 GMT+7 Mr. Phonphir Suwanchavee, Deputy Minister of Interior (Interior Minister 2), commented on the case where the Ministry of Interior ordered the Good Deeds Organization Foundation, which has Ms. Panadda Wongphudee or Boom Panadda as its chairperson, to submit its income-expense accounts and balance sheet by November 10. According to documents sent by the Ministry of Interior to the foundation requesting these documents by November 10, the Governor of Pathum Thani Province waited until the end of business hours at 4:30 p.m. but received no response. Currently, the registrar and Ministry of Interior have sent a letter to the Royal Thai Police and are awaiting documents from the Economic Crime Suppression Division confirming that the foundation misused funds. The ministry will then immediately proceed to petition the court to revoke the foundation.
Mr. Phonphir added that they are currently waiting a little longer for the police letter, as the police have already conducted investigations and gathered evidence. The ministry has been monitoring the police work and found that the foundation did use funds improperly, contrary to what was declared to the Department of Provincial Administration. These evidences will be attached to the court petition. The Ministry of Interior does not need to conduct its own investigation, which will shorten the process. They expect to receive the documents within 1-2 days, having requested them since last week, after which the ministry can proceed immediately.
The Deputy Interior Minister also revealed that meanwhile, they will amend the law to increase powers both in investigation and in closely monitoring detailed accounts. Since the ministry grants the licenses, it should also have the authority to revoke them. On November 17, 2026, a meeting will be held with Deputy Prime Minister Pakorn Nilprapunt to draft relevant laws and regulations concerning foundations, to guide the new legislation.
