CIB gathers evidence over foundation fund misuse
The Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) is gathering evidence to seek arrest warrants for individuals allegedly misusing funds from the 'Do Good Foundation'.
The Provincial Administration Department (PAD) accused the 'Do Good Foundation' of illegally soliciting public donations for flood relief via social media without proper authorization.
Donated relief items, including bottled water, were discovered dumped on land reportedly linked to Panadda Wongphudee, the foundation's suspended chairwoman.
Police confirm Panadda Wongphudee will be treated like any other person during the investigation, with no special treatment or "bargaining".

Defence chief warns Myanmar over border clash impacts
Thailand's defence chief, Gen. Ukris Boontanondha, issued a direct warning to Myanmar, asserting that military operations near the border must not impact Thai residents or sovereignty.
The warning came after a meeting with Myanmar's military attaché, emphasizing clear communication to prevent miscalculations amid reports of junta efforts to recapture border posts.
Gen. Ukris underscored Thailand's firm stance: Myanmar's internal affairs are its own, but the absolute safety of Thai citizens and respect for Thai sovereignty are non-negotiable requirements.
