Flying fists, wounded wife in Tony Jaa family feud
By Coconuts Bangkok



PATHUM THANI: -- Famous for beating thugs down with devastating kicks and punches, Thai martial arts star Tony Jaa found himself in a real-life family brawl Friday night.

Jaa’s wife was injured in a physical confrontation pitting family against family, which happened after a vehicle driven by Jaa’s brother-in-law allegedly rammed his Mercedes in Pathum Thani, according to ASTV News.

Brother-in-law Tharat Supphachokpaisan had accompanied Jaa’s father, Thongdi Yeerum, to visit the movie star’s home. When they found Jaa had left with his wife, they pursued them in their vehicle before reportedly driving into the back of Jaa’s car.

After the roadside dust-up, the family members said they returned to Jaa’s home to settle the dispute. It was there that Piyarat “Boong-gi” Chotiwattananon, Jaa’s wife, claims she was assaulted by Tharat. [read more...]

Seems like the stereoids have been shared equaly amongst the family members!

King Kong and "Boong-gi", what a lovely couple.

Good news is, they managed a "roadside dust-up" in a flooded province!!

[kotsak]

Maybe they have started shooting "Fast & Furious 7" already?

[Yunla]

I hope the lady recovers from her injuries speedily.

That said, "flying fists, wounded wife" sounds like a title from the JP b/w historical comic books from the late 1970s.

[lachiplo]

its actually quite sad. tony ja had been having issues with his family quite sometime. his father and bil are both classics, both unemployed, leechers, violent and had been threatening and leeching off tony ja for quite sometime.

Tony Jaa's next film "Oriental Farang: ATM at Call"

[ChangMaiSausage]

Standard Thai family feud involving the usual suspects money and jealously.

Happens not only in Thai/Falang relationships.

I thought that Thai TV soap operas were unrealistic, over acted, nonsense. But I'm beginning to realise that they are actually accurate reflections of normal Thai family life. The tantrums, the posturing, the car chase, the punch up......they're all there.

one would think coconuts could have come up with a headline that did not infer jah beat his wife

Coconuts is well known for their hunger to attract attention over focus on truth or detail.

You clearly have no clue what you're talking about!!!

Yep, they started filming this month.

[boomerangutang]

Note to self: don't get Thai wife and obligatory in-laws.

[gl555]

Doesn't matter how rich and famous you become, when your family and wife are trash, they're trash.

[johnkypri]

It makes me sick to read another story where international movie stars are treating their wives as if less than animals.

If it had been his Elephant that was attacked in this manner Tharat would have left the house in a body bag!

[travelman]

What a pity? A Martial Artist and Thai Hero cannot protect his own wife. Shame shame.

[fareastguy]

Obviously Tony managed to get himself out of the gutter by pursuing his career path to stardom.. unfortunately for him some of his family & in-laws have yet to follow his example!!

Friends you can choose, family you're stuck with for life!!

[animatic]

Well we know who the cash cow is, and maybe the in-laws

are wanting a bigger payout before he blows off his local contract

and skips the country. So Tony and wife wanted to get away from

them before the begging and cajoling started up?

Pissed off for giving them the slip?

[JulesMad]

Better bad publicity than no publicity....

Is Pathum thani flooded now then?

Money - Greed - Thais!
pffff!

I would say it is perfectly clear that he hasn't read this one.

The Thai's never know what's good right under their nose....

Tony Jaa et al, should just film this whole family feud saga! A 'from the bronx" kickboxer makes it big, but has all these feuding family members. Someone assaults his wife, he gets p*ssed and becomes a one-man-Thai-army and kicks some @ss! Totally pay to see a movie like this, especially if it's a "true story"....

But IRONICALLY, when the Thai's do try to write an engaging. realistic movie they write about some kickboxer who goes all the way to Australia just for an elephant?!!? Seriously???

From Pathum Thani (Muang and Sam Khok) a week ago !

As long as they keep it in the family who really cares

Not so. I left mine behind 44 years ago. If it's another 44 years before we meet up again, it will be too soon. OTOH my Thai family are all that I could ever wish for.

[Bagwan]

Better bad publicity than no publicity....

Tell that to Gary Glitter, Frank Bough, William Roche. Freddy Star, Rolf Harris and, if he were still alive, Jimmy Savile.

That's what I was thinking also.

The headline would tend the give the impression that there was some kind of domestic violence between Jaa and his wife.

When in fact, according to the details in the article, it was between the wife and her brother.

Pretty poorly done from a journalistic perspective.

slow news day?
