Thai anti-corruption commission reveals ex-PM Paetongtarn and family’s assets at THB11.32 billion after PM exit

This represents a decrease of over THB2.67 billion compared to her initial declaration upon taking office in early 2025, primarily due to changes in investment values.

BANGKOK – The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) released the asset and liability declarations of Paetongtarn Shinawatra on Wednesday (January 14), following her removal from the office of Prime Minister on August 30, 2025.

Her disqualification resulted from a 6-to-3 Constitutional Court ruling regarding a leaked audio conversation with Hun Sen, which was deemed a gross violation of ethical standards.

Financial Overview

The combined assets of Paetongtarn, her spouse Pidok Sooksawas, and their minor children total THB11.32 billion, with total liabilities of THB4.44 billion.

This represents a decrease of over THB2.67 billion compared to her initial declaration upon taking office in early 2025, primarily due to changes in investment values.
