In a dramatic turn of events, Ladda Khantiphok, once a familiar face on Thai television, has accused her British husband, Ian, of swindling her out of her life savings and committing infidelity. Distraught and seeking justice, Ladda is calling on news agencies to help spread her story and connect her with legal assistance.

 

The 40-year-old former actress, who rose to fame in a 2005 anti-alcohol campaign by the Thai Health Promotion Foundation, claims Ian deceived her into handing over the equivalent of £8,000. Their relationship began through a dating app in 2019, culminating in marriage in 2020, though without a traditional ceremony or dowry.

 

Ian, a musician on a cruise ship, visited Ladda infrequently, only three to four times annually. Financial troubles surfaced in 2022 when Ian requested money, citing delayed wages, initially borrowing 120,000 baht and later an additional 200,000 baht.

 

 

Suspicion grew when Ian did not visit for two years, and Ladda received a call from another woman claiming to be Ian's wife. Now, Ladda demands a divorce and urges Ian to repay the 320,000 baht.

 

Struggling to make ends meet, Ladda now manages a laundry and sells drinks on the side. Although a popular news Facebook page declined her plea for help, she remains hopeful that a lawyer or officials will take up her case. Ladda insists she no longer wants Ian back but seeks closure and justice for her financial losses, reported The Thaiger.

Better to be proud of a loyal, average looking woman with a good heart than bragging about one that's prettier and only with you because of your money.

You know you've hit a new low when you are scamming glorified street vendors out of their hard earned cash.

You must remember that the majority of actors and actresses are all average looking people, and many of the ones considered hot only look that way because of makeup and plastic surgery. Then the ones that are very good looking naturally will all get older and will end up looking like the average people again. You can put almost anyone on TV and people will swoon, because many retain their teenage thinking and hero worship well into their middle ages and beyond. Yet they see people on the streets that look much the same as many actors and actresses and they won't give them a second glance.

Of course not.  The remarkable thing is that she had any savings at all.  "Ian" was a lucky guy by all accounts.  She should sell her story to the dAIly mAIl and start a GFM, might get lucky.

£8,000? surely a typo?

[hotchilli]

Seems she was trying to do the right thing by helping her new husband out of a tight spot... 

as it turned out he was an a-hole... regardless of how much she had or lent him.

The fact that she did it means she's a good one.

Whe people are knocking her I don't understand

[jippytum]

This boils down to a domestic dispute. The husband may be a cad but nothing illegal in this story

That is a lot of money for the majority of Thais, don't quit your day job, you will never make it as a comedian

Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. A guy showed me a photo of his girlfriend and remarked how beautiful she was.
I told him he should see my girlfriend and he replied, “ Is she good looking?”

I said no, she’s an optometrist
