A Thai man was left shocked after discovering that his wife had won a lottery prize worth 12 million baht ($352,000) and left him for her lover. According to reports, 47-year-old Narine filed a lawsuit against his partner on March 11. According to him, he married the defendant 20 years ago and together they gave birth to three daughters.
Local media reported that Narin was two million baht in debt, and he and his wife, Choyuan, decided to move to South Korea in 2014 so they could work and repay the debt. The man continued to work in the foreign country and transferred about 27,000 to 30,000 baht a month to his family, after Chiyuan returned to Thailand to take care of the girls. Later, the man discovered that his wife had won 12 million baht ($325,000) but hid the winnings from him.
Narin decided to return to Thailand on March 3, after his partner stopped answering his phone calls. When he arrived at their home, he discovered that Chiyuan had married another man, a policeman by profession, on February 25. He told local media: “I was shocked and didn’t know what to do. I’m disappointed. I didn’t expect my wife of 20 years to do something like this to me. I only have 60,000 baht ($1,760) left in my bank account because I sent her all the money I earned every month. Now I Demands that justice be done and that everything I deserve be returned to me. She didn’t need my money at all.”
However, Chiyuan claimed that she broke up with Narine several years ago, even before she won the lottery and married her lover. On the other hand, the husband claimed that he knew nothing about the separation. The case is currently under investigation by the local police.
