**Warning long post about Sornram and his ex wife. **
I’m finally watching the interview with Num Kanchai and Num Sornram’s ex wife. And wow, it’s messy. Here’s what I got from the interview.
She is in a lot of debt. She said she disclosed her debt to Sornram when they first started dating and he helped her pay her debt. Not only that, she also has an online gambling problem.
She withdrew money from his account without his knowledge. She claims to have withdrawn 100,000 baht twice and 50,000 bath twice. Num Kanchai interjected and said, “but I heard it was a total of 500,000 baht”. She denied and said at most 400,000 baht, not $500,000. She claims she told him that she was the one who took the money, but it was after he found out.
Num Kanchai said he talked to Sornram and Sornram said his ATM card was next to their bed and the card went missing. That’s when he realized that money was missing from his account and that’s why he went to file a police report. After reviewing the surveillance camera, they discovered that it was the wife that withdrawn the money.
Num Kanchai asked her what she did with the money. She said she spent $200,000 baht to pay back the debt and she needed a way to come up with money fast, so she tried online gambling. But that didn’t work out, obviously.
Oh heck no. She even sold her child’s gold! Gold that was received when the child was born.
Num Kanchai said, “I heard you sold 10 baht of gold” and she denied it, saying it was only 3 baht of gold. (I believe 1 baht of gold is roughly 14 grams”
Num Kanchai: “What did you do with the money after selling the gold?”
She used it to pay her debt.
Also, one of the necklaces she sold eventually got back into Sornram’s hand, he bought it back.
Num Kanchai changed topics to the face mask scandal they had. It was 900,000 baht that people paid and the masks were never received. Sornram then had to pay back the money. Once again, Num Kanchai asked, “where is the $900,000 baht”
She said it was sent to her “broker” who was supposed to get the masks from Vietnam”. She mentioned fighting the case and not paying back to the people who paid for the masks.
Num Kanchai: “ Wait. Why would you do that? Shouldn’t you go after the broker that kept the money?”
She kept blabbing on.
Num Kanchai said when he talked to Sornram he asked why Sornram posted the photo of their divorce paper. Sornram said he had to make a decision and he had to sacrifice. If he didn’t, then she will never stop her bad habits and if she is still this way then she will never see her child again. He wants her to take this opportunity to work on herself and change herself. He also said it was for the safety of his child and his mom, since they’re home alone when he goes to work. He can’t imagine what will happen if the loan sharks come when he’s not home.
Right now, the only debt she has is for a land and it’s $400,000 baht. She even asked Sornram to help her pay this off. She admits it’s her fault. And she failed as a wife, but she shouldn’t be held back from being a mom and seeing her child.
This whole thing is messy and sad. It seems like she is always getting into a messy situation and Sornram always came to the rescue, but he eventually got tired of her B.S.
I love how Num Kanchai goes straight in! He stopped her a few times and told her to answer the question directly. She said she’s always been honest and truthful, but I still feel like she’s lying/holding back.
