TAT director Yuthasak Supakorn said the agency had nothing to do with the dinner and TAT might take legal action against those reporting the false news for defaming the agency. He re-emphasised the agency had no link with the fundraising dinner hosted by Phalang Pracharat. “Plus, allocation of that budget needs to be passed by the TAT committee. We had no such agenda in our meetings.”Phalang Pracharat’s Nattapon Teepsuwan, responsible for fundraising, also rejected the report that the finance ministry and TAT had made donations and joined the fundraising dinner on Wednesday. The development came after it was reported that the finance ministry and TAT may have spent more than Bt20 million to buy banquet tables which cost Bt3 million each.
