According to Thai newspaper Matichon, the director allegedly collected money from students at the start of the school year to provide them with gym uniforms and textbooks.

However, several months later, some students have yet to receive these items.

In contrast, the director’s office is equipped with two air conditioning (AC) units.

Students claim this disparity shows that the director values his own comfort over their well-being.

Furthermore, when they complained, the director sarcastically responded that he would remove one of his AC units.

Additionally, the director allegedly collected extra fees from students to fund “gifted” classes, promising foreign language teachers, expert instructors, and AC units for the classrooms.

None of these promises were fulfilled, prompting students to question where their money went.

One student told reporters she was stunned by the move.

“He seemed to miss the point entirely. Instead of fixing the broken fans, he spent money to remove an AC unit,” she said.

A committee has been formed to verify the complaints.
