Overview

The program examined allegations that a volunteer known as First—also referred to as Fern in the subtitles—used disaster-relief work to solicit money and supplies from donors and foundations without clear accounting. The claims were disputed on air, and the program did not establish whether fraud occurred.

Accounts Discussed

Teacher Beer

Beer said First presented themself as connected to a monk and took a leading role in setting up a flood-relief kitchen. Beer reported transferring about 149,000 baht for meals over several days.

Beer questioned claims that the kitchen produced thousands of meal boxes each day, citing what they had seen at the site. They also raised concerns about the use of people’s names and images to attract support.

Khwan Usamanee

Khwan said 36,090 baht was urgently transferred to an account belonging to Ice for relief-related purchases. After seeing images that appeared to show shopping and a trip, Khwan questioned the timing and purpose of the spending.

First and others said the money was used for supplies, including vegetables and pork, but gave conflicting explanations about withdrawals and repayments. The program noted gaps in the supporting records.

Ple Nakorn

Ple said money and resources were provided for relief work, including donations gathered from the public. Ple objected to the Thai Nakha Foundation’s name and logo allegedly being used without permission and questioned whether First had represented themself as part of Ple’s team when coordinating with other organizations. First disputed aspects of Ple’s account.

Mae Fah

Fah described providing more than 400,000 baht in support across relief efforts, including food and supplies for people displaced by flooding and conflict. Fah questioned reports and meal counts and alleged that donations intended for relief may have been mixed with personal spending.

First said the work was genuine and that some of the money was personal. The program also raised questions about receipts, reimbursements, and an alleged 18,000-baht unpaid pork bill.

First’s Response

First acknowledged contacting people directly to request support and apologized to donors and volunteers. First denied deliberately misusing donations, said purchases could be checked, and maintained that some disputed spending came from personal funds. First said they would cooperate with the legal process and indicated they would stop their public relief-work role.

Unresolved Issues

The discussion focused on whether donations were properly used and documented, whether First had authorization to invoke particular foundations or teams, and whether personal expenses were wrongly mixed with relief funds. The host emphasized that charity work requires transparent records and clear authorization. The allegations remain disputed and subject to investigation.
