Thaksin's Niece Set To Marry Son Of Hun Sen's Right Hand Man

[GentlemanJim]

I am just waiting him to log on and ask "how much sin sot" to pay for the marriage.

That's easy it's Preah Vihear Temple!

[GentlemanJim]

Similar marriages are also being arranged in Kings Landing too . Real life does imitate Game of Thrones.

Now THAT is so observant. Now you mention it there really is a distinct similarity between the Shiniwatra's and the Lannisters. Game of Thrones will never be the same again

[Exsexyman]

Very big of the Shinawatra's to allow this union. Imagine it, the champion of Thai democracy, well on the way to beatification, giving his blessing to the marriage of his niece to the son of a brutal dictator that came to power in the 1997 Cambodian coup. I realize there are good coups and bad coups, but still, very big of Thailand's first family.

She's not marrying the son of a brutal dictator. Why is it so many people here cannot read?

It's not that they cannot read, it's that they do not read. They see the word,' Shinawatra' in a headline and the red mist comes down. Off they go, typing furiously, the same tired old cliches day after day, week after week no matter how irrelevent to the topic under discussion. It is a source of great amusement to many of us on here!

I think a lot of people got mixed up because the TV newsletter email said it was Hun Sen's son. People read the headline but didn't read the whole article.

funny you should mention "dictatorship"

What right have you got to flash that medal around smedly ? Did you earn it.

Sailor, I wouldn't meddle with smedly if I were you, it might make George Cross.

That's right. Come on people, pay attention.

She's marrying into the family of the brutal dictator's chief enforcer. altogether more respectable.

Will getting married affect the bride Chayapa Wongsawat's musical career?

Under her nickname "Cherry" she has made a few videos, like the song Dog O and it's chorus Love Me Love My Boss

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3n_zKBg6tI4

It would be a shame if the world was deprived of her unique talent were she to quit.

The Cambodian press is generous is calling her "famous singer"

But nevertheless, it does reveal that it is an arranged marriage:

Good luck on your wedding night, Cherry.

Chayapa Wongsawat, 29, is a lawyer and a famous singer in Thailand and her father Somchai Wongsawat was the former Prime Minister for Thailand. Her mother Yaowapa Wongsawat is a lawmaker representing Chiang Mai province. Chayapa Wongsawat is also a niece of Thailand Prime Minister, Yingluck Shinawatra. The power couple's marriage were arranged by their parents and they have known each other for several years.

[Sing_Sling]

What pussy needs his parents to ask someone else's if they can marry?

Oh but of course he never intended it to come to this -- but being from a dictatorship they must comply.

I might not have wealth from corruption like these dictators do, but I'm glad I have my freedom.

It is common in some cultures. Prince Philip is hardly a pussy and he had to obtain permission to marry Princess Elizabeth.

Well yes, but all the real men on here had to do was sling the future in-laws (who'd be younger than he is) a few bob for the twice married, tattooed blushing bride, mother of three . . .

Same same, really

Nothing wrong with etiquette and a bit of tradition

So, this is Junior Whopper and at 29 years old this is all she can do?

I've seen six year old's with more singing ability.

Thailand's Got Talent!

She can also supply a testimonial for a beauty salon on her eyebrow treatments.

And also act as a proxy shareholder of hundreds of millions of baht with Mom's business:

[tomyummer]

I just see this as a form of inbreeding. Not sure why, it just seems like it. Feels dirty. Two dysfunctional regimes marrying each other. Not exactly Britain marrying France.

Fair being fair, doesn't she also have a law degree?

And Panthongtae graduated with a bachelors degree.

Not quite Harvard Law School I imagine.

[chooka]

I get the feeling that some will be calling for thier 1st born to be publically hung and quatered to pay for what his/her great uncle personally did to them.

[ginjag]

It's enough to read about the clan here every bleeding day, so 1 more plug for the family, keep them coming Khun Thaksin loves all the publicity he can get-He thrives in it, it's all ego trip - YAWN

[paymaster]

That will just create "the false image" that Thailand and Cambodia care for peaceful Prea Vinhear temple solution, .... but we all know that this battle will continue anyway...

"Thaksin will not be attending the wedding or wishing the bride and groom well over Skype, Somchai said, adding that the ousted former PM had already blessed the couple in person earlier." Good way of saying Thaksin can't go cause he will be arrested!

When did K Thaksin attain the power to bless the couple in person? This is different to giving his blessings-- so which is it?

[orchidlady]

I think it's a shame they got married on Saturday. If they had waited a day they could have had all the red shirts attending as guests or outside the venue greeting them. Oh they wouldn't want to be inconvenienced on their special day would they? Interesting the Cambodian newspaper did not mention TS only his sister in the paper....what a slight

[Carioca]

While an old jaundiced hardass now, I still remember the true love of my youth. Its real, at least for the young. I give them the benefit of the doubt, that the families just had to deal with it.
