A Thai politician’s scandal is making headlines around the world for more reasons than one.
Suspecting that his wife, 45-year-old Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh, was having an affair, husband Ti drove more than five hours to catch her in the act. Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh, also known as Madam Ple, is a politician from the Thai province of Sukhothai.
Armed with a camera, 65-year-old Ti captured footage of his wife and their adopted son, 24-year-old Phra Maha, naked in bed together. Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh adopted Phra Maha, a Buddhist monk, from a temple in 2023. Despite being caught red-handed, Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh and Phra Maha denied having an affair.
Ti’s wife said she and her adopted son were only talking, nothing else. “Nothing happened,” Phra Maha added, telling Ti that he and Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh were merely discussing his personal problems and had been planning to shower afterward.
Unsurprisingly, Ti didn’t believe them.
I was furious when I found them together. I felt so betrayed. I had bought her gold and given her many gifts.
— Ti
Netizens in China have responded to the salacious scandal, initially reported by Horizon News, with disbelief, comparing the real-life affair to fictional plot lines.
- “This news is explosive, with too many elements. It sounds like pure fiction. The world of the wealthy is indeed fascinating and chaotic.”
- “A 64-year-old husband, a 45-year-old wife, and a 24-year-old adopted son who is a monk? This is such a mess. It sounds more like keeping a boy-toy rather than adoption. Even dramas don’t dare to script this.”
- “I laughed out loud. Lying naked together and then claiming to chat? Perhaps it’s because their conversation got so heated that they needed to cool down without air conditioning.”
Following news of the affair, Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh, who is a member of the Democrat Party in Thailand, has been suspended by the party pending an investigation. Phra Maha, on the other hand, went on the run, having been accused by Ti of seducing his wife.
