Chaiyanok Chidchob: No Proof Yet Linking Idea to Scam Gang

On October 6, 2026, at 10:10 AM at Government House, Mr. Chaiyanok Chidchob, Minister of Digital Economy and Society and Secretary-General of the Bhumjaithai Party, gave an interview to reporters ahead of the cabinet meeting. The discussion centered on allegations raised by People's Party list MP Rangsiman Rome, who publicly claimed that the husband of Ms. Suchada Sangthanteph, a Bhumjaithai MP for Chaiyaphum, might be connected to transnational scam syndicates.

Mr. Chaiyanok firmly stated that all politicians serving the public must be fully prepared to face scrutiny from relevant agencies. He expressed confidence that Ms. Suchada is fully ready to explain and subject herself to any investigation. Initially, Ms. Suchada had already reported to the Bhumjaithai Party leadership, insisting that she has no involvement whatsoever in the controversial allegations raised by the opposition.

"Politicians must be ready for scrutiny, and I believe Ms. Suchada is ready to clarify and face investigation as well."

When reporters pressed further regarding public observations about asset and liability disclosures submitted to the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), particularly concerning loans granted to a now-bankrupt foreign company, the digital economy minister noted that such intricate details must be addressed by Ms. Suchada herself, as it involves her personal documentation and specific asset declarations.
