Noom Anuwat, a prominent news anchor, posted a video saying he feels regretful about being used as a tool by Boom Panadda. He said that all along he had considered her a friend, but in the end, he became just a "pawn".
On 10 Nov 2026 GMT+7, reporters reported that Noom Anuwat, a well-known news anchor who previously went live while meeting Boom Panadda at the Revenue Department, sparked rumors that Boom had actually arranged the meeting rather than it being a chance encounter.
Noom Anuwat shared in a video that Boom once told him about family problems, including having to flee with her child to hotels due to issues with her husband, hiring a detective to follow her husband, and having a safe cracked open. She might have hoped he would post about it on social media to create a buzz, but he considered it a private matter among friends and chose not to speak or post anything. Instead, Boom told these stories to pages and others.
He also described the background behind his appearance at the Revenue Department, saying Boom was the one who called and messaged him to meet personally, claiming she trusted only him and didn't want other media involved. However, when he arrived and requested an interview, there were many inconsistencies, prompting a lawyer to supervise the interview for fear he might say too much.He said it should not have been made public.But eventually, the police expanded the investigation into financial transactions and issued an arrest warrant later.
What caused the greatest disappointment for him and others in the entertainment industry was the fundraising for social aid—whether for flood relief or border support. He had helped publicize and encourage public donations to the foundation and was also a donor himself. However, upon reviewing the transfer slips later, it was found that the donated money did not go directly into the foundation's account but instead was deposited into a personal account ending with the name Miss Panadda.
Noom Anuwat concluded with his disappointment that ultimately, what he thought was a friendship turned out to be him being treated as just a pawn.
