Former Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and her husband reported a total asset value of 11.3 billion baht upon her departure from office last August, a reduction from the 14 billion baht reported when she assumed the role in August 2024. The National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) released this information, revealing details about the financial status of political figures as mandated by anti-corruption laws.

Ms Paetongtarn's declared assets include 7.2 million baht in cash and 1.06 billion baht in deposits spread across 26 bank accounts. Her investments are valued at 8.35 billion baht, while she owns 12 land plots worth 725 million baht. Further, she declared buildings valued at 168.6 million baht, 23 vehicles at 66.8 million baht, and six rights and concessions, including long-term apartment leases in London, valued at 425 million baht. Additional personal assets total 419 million baht, encompassing gold, luxury items, and other valuables.

The couple reported liabilities amounting to 4.4 billion baht, largely stemming from promissory notes related to share purchases from family members. This debt was highlighted during a no-confidence debate against her government in 2025, with no repayments noted since the last report. Ms Paetongtarn's annual income was recorded at 20.9 million baht, with expenses at 58.2 million baht, while her husband, Mr Pitaka Suksawat, has assets of 86.7 million baht, liabilities of 1.18 million baht, and an income of 4.9 million baht.

Her prime ministerial tenure ended after a July 1 suspension by the Constitutional Court, which later ruled that her conduct during a phone call with ex-Cambodian PM Hun Sen breached ethics. She was officially removed from office on 29 August 2025, reported the Bangkok Post.

Key Takeaways

• Paetongtarn Shinawatra's assets fell by 2.7 billion baht by the end of her term.

• Her liabilities stood unchanged at 4.4 billion baht amid ongoing debt issues.

• Removal from office followed an ethics breach regarding a call with Hun Sen.

Read the article, it clearly explains her debt.

They definitely talk politics for the people...keep 🙏

Felt

Nice paychecks in the parliament - it seems. Honestly, how is it possible for a lady not even 40 years of age with two small kids to amass such a fortune? But if it is OK with the electorate ....

Nobody asks questions while the farang crown can no longer top up a Rabbit Card, has no longer access to PayPal accounts, cannot open a simple bank account without the blessing of Lord Mammon himself nor transfer money overseas despite documented health insurance invoices etc.

This country has definitely big, big issues but as long as it is OK for Khon Thai ........... Karma will catch up one day and possibly even in not too distant future

If you take a look at a lot of the filthy rich they have a large amopunt of debt. They hardly ever use their own money.

Most deal in OPM usually banks. Then again, having a daddy that can not have any income while he was in exile, you can bet his kids got a lot of nice things.

She was CEO OF A HOTEL CHAIN that happnes to be family she has never had a positionthat was not family oreinted.

Easy come easy go...

and she has promised to pay taxes sometime on all of her given wealth, perhaps... when she has some extra free cash. but for now, everyone else, even foreigners should pay tax here on their international accounts??

So?

She just got sexier !

Love me a good lookin gal with a good solid wedge.
