In a televised interview on May 18, 2026, the younger son of the billionaire Bhirombhakdi family, which owns the Singha beer empire, alleged that he was sexually abused by a female caregiver during his childhood. He further claimed that his mother was aware of the abuse at the time but later rehired the same caregiver.
The heir, whose name has not been disclosed in the initial reports, made the allegations on a local Thai television program, adding a new layer to the ongoing sexual abuse scandal involving the family. The Bhirombhakdi family has been embroiled in controversy since earlier in 2026, when other family members faced accusations of sexual misconduct.
As of May 19, 2026, no official statement has been released by the Bhirombhakdi family or Singha Corporation regarding the latest allegations. Thai authorities have not confirmed any investigation into the new claims. The caregiver has not been publicly identified or reached for comment.
