Massive Pathum Thani warehouses linked to Panadda Wongphudee’s foundation inspected

Authorities are investigating two large properties in Pathum Thani linked to celebrity activist Panadda Wongphudee's Do Good Foundation, where massive quantities of donated items, including flood relief supplies, were discovered stockpiled.
The investigation focuses on land ownership, funding sources for the properties' acquisition and construction, and ensuring the management of donated goods aligns with donor intentions.
Reporters found extensive stockpiles of items, some explicitly marked for Southern flood victims, across the two sites, which include warehouses, tents, and residential structures.
Local residents and a relative of a former landowner confirmed Panadda's involvement, with her husband previously managing item drop-offs, though recent activity at the sites has reportedly decreased.
Investigators are continuing to examine land titles, construction permits, and financial backing to ensure all donated items are properly distributed to disaster victims as intended.
