By Khaosod English


Saksit Tipayanon was arrested while he was preparing for a traditional Thai wedding parade – known as “Khan Maak” – in which the groom carries a dowry to the family of the bride.

PATUM THANI — A Thai couple’s wedding ceremony was unexpectedly interrupted when police arrested the groom for drug and attempted murder charges and then denied the 30-year-old man bail.

Police in Patum Thani detained Saksit Tipayanon while he was preparing for a traditional Thai wedding parade – known as “Khan Maak” – in which the groom carries a dowry to the family of the bride.

Saksit faced charges of attempted murder for allegedly stabbing another man in 2008, after which he changed his name and went into hiding, said Pol.Col.Trakul Keaewprssert, a superintendent at Pratunamjulalongkorn police station.

The Thai equivalent of ...

"If anyone knows any reason why these two should not be wed, speak now ..."

Ex-pointy one ... how the <deleted> are you ... long time since I've seen a post from you!

[Songhua]

'Do you agree to come with us to the station?'

'I do'

[ratcatcher]

She's banged up and now he's banged up.

Saksit, I think this could be the end of a beautiful friendship.

On another note, the accused seems to be waiting for the cops to decide what percentage of the dowry they'd like to divide up.

[JeremyBowskill]

Looks like the groom has had a result, might pick up a few years in chokey but it will still be more pleasant than married life.

[Scully]

Please let him out so we can have the dowry oh I mean get married.

[rkidlad]

Lucky escape for the groom.

[maidee]

i wonder if the sin sod still arrived at the bride's family, in that case, everybody happy and the party can get on without him

[CelticBhoy]

Guy on the right is pointing at the wrong bloke.

[klauskunkel]

...but, but, but he is wearing an amulet...

[deecee10]

Swapping one ball and chain for another?

[soalbundy]

The bride has been had in more ways than one,there she was thinking he was a man of good character, an ideal father for her children. Looks like a considerable increase in the sin sohd, a quick kiss and good bye for a few years during which a new sucker can be found,two sin sohds are better than one.

You can not make this stuff up...better than the drama on a Thai soap opera...the timing was no accident and spectacular...

[steven100]

While the groom was being arrested .... the bride to be commented on the sin sod which was in an envelope on a gold plated server tray .....

' I'll take care of that honey ... you just look after yourself and we'll be in touch '

I have heard that the family of the bride ... have been reportedly shopping to buy a new house ...

[Gentmartin]

who is the guy in the cap the drummer

Dont be daft, its Brian Johnson from ACDC.....

[Ulic]

Wedding crashers not welcome.

[Nemesis7]

What are the chances he himself gave up and got him arrested thinking this was much better option than geting a life time sentence from a much more dangerous warden at home 24/7....just wondering ......

[Paulzed]

who is the guy in the cap the drummer

He's the whistle blower!!

[Paulzed]

I bet the Wife's Family was pissed off that they missed out on the dowry!!

[Chao Lao Beach]

I am not for one minute suggesting that the Thai Police are corrupt, but just hypethertly,, he had plently of gold and coin on him !!!!

[soalbundy]

I bet the Wife's Family was pissed off that they missed out on the dowry!!

I bet they didn't, he doesn't look too happy

[somchaismith]

I bet the Wife's Family was pissed off that they missed out on the dowry!!

I bet they didn't, he doesn't look too happy

It's traditional the dowry to be returned to couple after the ceremony had been completed.

[wow64]

What a convenient time to get arrested by the Police from 2008 to now and what until he is carrying the Dowry.

I guess that is now all gone as evidence?

[Beetlejuice]

Whether the guy is convicted of murder and drug dealing or the police allow him to go home with his new wife, either way he still gets a life sentence.
