Giving you an emoticon for the "bulldog chewing a wasp" gag. Having said that, not all actors and actresses are "pin ups"!

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.

That was the amount of the life savings?

Fame obviously did not lead to fortune

Why is this newsworthy?

She’s a very patient lady and wife, she waited 2 years for him to visit her

If it was just the monk ceremony with nothing registered they were not even married.   Considering that so many girls do the same to men it is interesting.  

 

Just remember the old saying

Its worded kind of odd,  "...culminating in marriage in 2020, though without a traditional ceremony or dowry" , which would suggest a registered marriage without any ceremony or dowry.

WHO cares! !!!!!, must be a slow news day if AN posting crap like this...

But wouldn't the "Buddhist wedding" be the "ceremony"?

Yes but unless you register it and do all the paperwork, it is not a legal marriage in the eyes of the law.  No one checks to make sure you are not married legally.

She became famous playing the wife in the viral tv ad campaign "Poor! Stressed! Drink!" of the Thai Health Promotion Foundation.

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.

Check out the before/after pictures of porn stars without/with makeup.

 

You'll shudder with most.

I've seen thousands of women with and without makeup. Some used it but didn't need to, although they did look sexier with it. I'm not concerned with porn stars because that thinking is off anyway. Makeup can enhance and also make look hideous. Depends where you learn it from.

“After being married for 50 years, I took a careful look at my wife one day and said, ‘Fifty years ago we had a cheap house, a junk car, slept on a sofa bed and watched a 10-inch black and white TV, but I got to sleep with a hot 23-year-old girl every night.

“Now, I have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, a nice big bed and a large screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 69-year-old woman. It seems to me that you're not holding up your side of things.’

“My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out and find a hot 23-year-old girl and she would make sure that I would once again be living in a cheap house, driving a junk car, sleeping on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.

Absolutely, porn stars with makeup would soon get it washed off 😄

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.

Ah but while poking the fire it's good to look at a beautiful mantle piece..

Is this one of the Rather Rare Cases  while the opposite often takes place here?
