Bangkok city officials were implicated in overpriced gym-equipment purchases; most were cleared or lightly penalised, and the governor ordered a tougher review.

In July 2024 a Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) anti-corruption task force reported that 25 city officials were implicated in seven purchases of exercise equipment at inflated prices; the Bangkok Post puts the projects' value at about 77.22 million baht. A BMA disciplinary committee later cleared 20 of 32 officials investigated and penalised 12, with penalties that critics called lenient, including a fine of about 600 baht (reported as a 2% salary cut).
