KH Academy continues the core mission of ‘Kaohoon Turakij’, to help elevate Thai society through useful knowledge. The academy has launched the KH Legal Aid project, offering free seminars to educate the general public about legal rights and responsibilities, and to help reduce the risk of unintentional lawbreaking—completely free of charge.
On Saturday, September 6, 2025, KH Legal Aid hosted a seminar at KH Academy Ratchathewi Campus titled “Clean Money vs. Dirty Money: How to Spot the Difference and Stay Safe” from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM. The guest speaker was Mr. Wuttichai Phumsanguan, Provincial Public Prosecutor attached to the Office of the Attorney General. He delivered an engaging talk on Thailand’s Anti-Money Laundering Act, B.E. 2542 (1999), helping attendees understand key legal points that close loopholes for financial crimes, how to avoid unwitting involvement in money laundering cases, and provided risk mitigation techniques and real-world case studies.
“Many people think money laundering laws only affect banks or large financial companies, but that’s not true. As consumers, we could unknowingly buy or sell goods or properties that are linked to money laundering—say, if the seller is engaged in illegal businesses. It’s important to know how to protect ourselves and provide evidence to prove we’re uninvolved. If issues arise, the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO) can trace money flow, uncover where criminals hide assets, and seize those assets for return to the victims. This law is powerful as it breaks financial crime cycles at the root. Today’s seminar helps the public learn how to avoid involvement, and if caught up unintentionally, what legal steps and evidence to use for their defense,” Mr. Wuttichai explained.
Miss Kamonlak Srijunngam, a business student at Kasetsart University who attended the seminar and the ‘Prep for Financial Advisor’ program (4th intake), said she is passionate about finance and investment and sees law as a fundamental area of knowledge. “Law is a foundation for finance and investment. In the future, as a financial advisor, I’ll inevitably encounter clients who may have legal entanglements. Learning more about anti-money laundering laws today will help me proactively avoid and prevent money laundering for myself and those around me.”
KH Legal Aid is held regularly once a month, free of charge. Updates and further details can be followed on Facebook, Instagram, and the KH Academy application, available for download on both Android and iOS.
