Allegations by Siranudh “Psi” Scott
On 9 May 2024, activist Siranudh “Psi” Scott, 29, posted a Facebook video accusing his elder brother, Sunit “Pi” Scott, of repeatedly sexually abusing him from age 12 until he turned 24. Psi said he possessed audio recordings of the incidents and asserted that senior family members were aware yet took no action. He also described attempts to seek help from older relatives, who allegedly told him to apologise to his mother instead.
The Bhirombhakdi Business Empire
Psi and Pi are sons of Chiranuj Bhirombhakdi, members of the Bhirombhakdi family that controls Boon Rawd Brewery, the maker of Singha beer. The conglomerate spans real estate, food, glass and media, with assets reported above 100 billion baht; Forbes estimates a senior member’s net worth at roughly $1.75 billion USD. Pi Sunith Scott, educated in the United Kingdom, holds executive positions within the empire and owns stakes in music and media ventures.
Inheritance Lawsuit
Simultaneously, Psi disclosed that his mother filed a lawsuit to reclaim property bequeathed by their late grandfather, Chamnong Bhirombhakdi. The family has accused Psi of “ingratitude” and demanded the return of the assets.
Public Reaction and Actress Mild Lapassalan
Pi’s marriage to actress Mild Lapassalan, a leading Thai “teen-queen” star who is pregnant with her first child, has intensified public scrutiny. Social-media users have criticised her for joining a family accused of covering up abuse, while many fans have defended her, noting she is not a party to the allegations.
Official Silence and Legal Actions
Neither Pi nor Mild has issued a public statement. Pi reportedly disabled his social-media accounts after the backlash. The family has filed a civil suit against Psi for allegedly damaging the family’s honor, but no court ruling has been announced.
Criticism, Opposition, and Gaps
Human-rights observers have condemned the alleged inaction of senior relatives, arguing that wealth may shield the accused. Independent verification of the claimed recordings is lacking, and Thai courts have not yet ruled on either the abuse allegations or the inheritance dispute. Consequently, the accusations remain unverified claims, and key facts remain uncertain.
