Bangkok: Boom Panadda recently addressed her husband's desire for more children and her entanglement in a scam that led to her bank accounts being frozen. Boom shared that her husband frequently asks for another child, expressing loneliness as their sons, Alex and Arthur, grow older. Although they have two female eggs stored from her previous pregnancy, Boom, at 50, is hesitant to have more children due to health concerns, including severe bone mass loss and the risks associated with previous cesarean sections. Her husband has suggested surrogacy, where a relative would carry the pregnancy, an idea Boom considers for the future.

According to Thai News Agency, Boom also spoke out about being targeted by scammers, which she learned about through a fabricated story on Facebook. The scammers claimed that money transferred for purchasing goods at a bargain could be donated to Boom's charitable foundation. After victims transferred funds and sent donation slips, they were added to a LINE group, where they were further deceived into parting with more money. Seven to eight victims fell prey to this scam, resulting in losses amounting to tens of thousands of baht. Consequently, these victims filed police reports at Laem Chabang Police Station, causing the foundation's account to be frozen.

Boom expressed frustration over the situation, as her foundation's and personal accounts were frozen, hindering her ability to work and cover expenses for border projects. She feels the account freeze is unfair, as she is also a victim and was unaware of the scam. Boom has urged financial institutions and law enforcement to reconsider the emergency decree and develop a more efficient management system.

Boom further empathized with the victims, acknowledging their potential disappointment with the charity organization. She suspects the scammers are Thai nationals and has called on the police to identify and apprehend the culprits. Boom has offered to reimburse the victims who file police reports, underscoring her commitment to preventing further suffering. She urged the public to purchase goods from reputable sources and avoid transactions involving multiple transfers, warning against falling victim to such scams. For those with doubts, Boom advised contacting the Thai Consumer Protection Board for guidance.
