First Wife Leads Procession for Husband’s Second Marriage

A wedding in Chaiyaphum drew major online attention after a woman personally organised and led the traditional procession for her husband to marry a second wife. The ceremony took place on May 15 in Ban Nong Phai village and included more than 10 parade vehicles, big bikes, relatives, friends, and local residents. The first wife, Yupin Tadthai, acted as the wedding elder and led the khan mak procession carrying 300,000 baht in cash and five baht-weight of gold as dowry. The bride, Oruma Janpheng, became the second wife of Witsanu Prangchaiyaphum, who has been married to Yupin for more than 20 years. The family said the arrangement was based on mutual understanding, while online reactions ranged from surprise to admiration over the open and drama-free ceremony.
