Tanaporn: The political beauty with a taste for luxury

 

 

As the saying goes, behind every successful man, there’s a woman. Except in Deputy Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thamanat Prompow’s case, there are two – the woman he is legally married to and his common-law wife.

 

Thamanat’s legal spouse Arisara Prompow is far richer than his other wife, Tanaporn Srivirach, but it is the latter who is making headlines after following in his footsteps to enter the field of politics.  

 

Crowned Miss Thailand in 2016, the now 25-year-old Tanaporn was handed a job in the Secretariat of the Prime Minister on November 10. Critics were dismayed by her appointment, seeing it as a simple case of nepotism and more evidence of a lack of transparency in government. Thamanat has managed to keep his job in government despite records suggesting he spent four years in an Australian jail for heroin smuggling in the 1990s.  

 

However, many other observers are eager to know more about the woman herself. Former beauty queen Tanaporn is better known by her cute-sounding nickname, “Jubjib”, and is about 30 years younger than Arisara. However, the older woman is far wealthier – worth Bt189 million according to the assets declaration Thamanat filed last year when he became an MP. She has also had several children with Thamanat. Tanaporn, meanwhile, has declared about Bt63.6 million in assets and has just one son with Thamanat.

If you are rich and are a lap to the elite, you can do what you want Thailand.

Just missing the halo!

Heroin smuggling, prison time and it can be proven by facts not fiction and yet it is still believed to be fake news planted by enemies. Just look at the phrase in the OP:

Using the word "Suggesting" instead of the word "Detailing" is a sure way to avoid being charged with libel over the actual truth.

 

This country is bonkers, and still trying to justify not only that the Coup was legal and they are being transparent.  How can you look transparently through leaded color glasses.

Lot of old heroin smugglers live here. 

The old ways are still accepted in Thailand if one has the right connections.

 Despite being a convicted drug smuggler , he made it to become part of the Thai Government .

Only in a corrupt ' banana republic ' that seems possible .

And the Mia Noi's will surely follow.

Just call a Mia Noi what they really are, a concubine that when they age out are tossed aside for the younger ones or put out to pasture like the Sultans of old did.  The Mia Noi issue still shows that Thailand is a Feudal Society in its way it deals with courtesans or as one would say a mistress.

If I had done 4 years in a prison in any country I'd want to make the most of life while I could also. The interesting question for a writer or soap opera is why the mia yai puts up with the arrangement being so public? Many possibilities, and some kind of a real human story there.

And Ghiks.  If they are going to parade around all this open sexuality, which seems to be condone by cha cha,  why not just make prostitution legal?
