The financial disclosures, published earlier this week, cover the final declarations of officials who served during the previous term before the May elections, NACC Phuket Chief Suwat Saowaran confirmed to The Phuket News.
Mr Suwat explained that releasing these figures is standard. Those newly elected to office in the May elections have 60 days to submit their declarations, and that 60-day deadline has yet to pass, he added.
According to the documents posted by NACC Phuket, the declarations filed detail the annual income and assets of re-elected officials, and outgoing officials, as required by law, as of June 25, 2025.
Under Thai law, while some personal details are withheld from public view, office holders must declare the income and assets of their spouses.
