Porkaew enraged over ‘abduction’

Award-winning cake designer and cooking instructor Malika “Porkaew” Rianroo is taking legal action against her hi-so former husband after he “stole” their eldest child during a custody battle.
Porkaew’s lawyers laid a complaint with Pathumwan police on Thursday against Suvicha Leenutaphong, whose family runs a Bangkok car dealership, for taking their daughter Nong Trin, aged four, illegally.
“He asked if he could take out Nong Trin for dinner. He failed to return her, and his family won’t let me inside their home,” Porkaew said.
TV cameras last week staked out Mr Suvicha’s family home, after Porkaew laid her complaint of child abduction. He has yet to comment to the media, though his father has spoken briefly.
“When I went to pick her up, I found a court document in which my husband claims custody over both our children,” Porkaew said in tears. “He also sent me a text message saying not to bother coming again.” They also have another daughter, aged 18 months.
Porkaew said they split up four months ago when she discovered Mr Suvicha was seeing someone else. They reached an agreement in which Mr Suvicha sends her 50,000 baht a month to care for the children, and gains access to Nong Trin several days a week.
The dispute has unfolded over the past week after a highly publicised incident at Nong Trin’s international school involving police.
Mr Suvicha said he turned up at the school on March 23 as normal to pick up Nong Trin, only to be told Porkaew had instructed the school not to let him take her. Porkaew turned up, the two sides argued, and police were called.
Porkaew later let him take the child out to dinner, and has not seen the little girl since. She has not been back to school since her father failed to return the child after the dinner outing.
The row at the school follows a similar incident on March 9 in which Porkaew says her former husband had turned up to claim the child. Once again, the two sides argued, and the school called in police.
As well as laying the child abduction complaint against Mr Suvicha, Porkaew is also suing his elder sister, socialite Vitchuda ‘‘Tumm’’ Leenutaphong, for defamation, after she claimed on Facebook that Porkaew was using the children as negotiating pawns.
The cake designer says her ex-husband falsely told the court in his custody claim that Porkaew once sold her body on the internet, had no gainful employment, spent his child support on cosmetic surgery, and was not a fit mother.
Mr Suvicha now sees another woman, who herself has two young children. Porkaew said she often posts images of Nong Trin together with her children, which she finds hard to accept. The couple’s custody battle was not a mere dispute between her and hi-so Tumm, as some reports had suggested.
After Porkaew’s side filed papers, the Central Juvenile and Family Court last week stepped into the row, calling in Mr Suvicha to give his side of the saga on May 16.
Hi-so Tumm, who helps her brother look after Nong Trin, sprang to fame in March 2015 after accusing a high-profile policewoman of stealing her boyfriend.
The Criminal Court in Ratchada last October sentenced hi-so Tumm to six years in jail, suspended for two years, and fined her 100,000 baht after she admitted defaming the officer.
Guard claims Isan musical hit

A security guard in Udon Thani has apologised after claiming falsely in an open letter to the media that he wrote the sleeper Isan hit, Sai Wa Si Bo Thim Kan.
Pattana Leela says he was sorry the saga had damaged the reputation of its real owner, overnight Isan singing star Kong Huayrai.
He recorded a clip atoning for his actions, which he put down to over-exuberance, after Kong’s manager Preechapol “Kob” Srithaat, from his label Soundmehang records, threatened legal action.
The hand-written letter propelled the story to star status in the media, which upset Kob and Kong, who said the claims had no substance.
In the letter, Mr Pattana claimed he wrote the song, which has more than 133 million views on YouTube, and claimed a share of the proceeds.
He said Kong, a rags-to-riches story from Nakhon Sakhon who worked as PR for a beauty clinic and busker before finding fame singing, took advantage of their friendship about five years ago to claim the song as his own.
Kob said the tale was a familiar one, as a member of Kong’s fanclub had come forward previously to claim he wrote the lyrics, and on another occasion to have written the melody. In fact, he said he knew Kong wrote the song, as he published the lyrics on social media.
“When I came across it, I thought it was a pretty song,” Kob said. “He offered me 14 songs he had written, and I chose this one. We agreed to make it, and it’s been famous about three years.”
Kong, also known as Akkharadet Yodjumpa, is also well-known as the author of the Isan ballad Koo Kong, for the hit Channel 3 soap, Nakee.
Kob said he suspected Mr Pattana is the same fan who wrote to Kong on March 17, asking the singer to make contact.
“I don’t know what Kong has done to annoy him. It’s like he’s immersed in the song,” Kob said.
Mr Pattana later made contact after Kong appealed on social media for him to come forward. “I have no intention to sue you, but your actions have caused me damage, and you will have to take responsibility,’’ Kong wrote.
Kob, who spoke to Mr Pattana, said the guard confirmed he had no proof he was the real author of the song. He said a friend wrote the letter in a moment of excitement and had him sign it.
“I asked him to make a clip apologising, and write to the media withdrawing his claims, or we will sue,’’ he said. The media had been quick to assume the guard’s claims were legitimate without evidence, he grumbled.
Looking contrite in his clip, Mr Pattana said he was sorry for the fuss he caused, and offered Kong a wai.
Sai apologises for ‘misunderstanding’

Singer and actress Hathaichanok “Sai” Suansri, 25, says she has cleared the air with the mother of her ex-boyfriend after she accused her of leaving her underwear scattered about his room for her to wash.
Sai admitted last week she and teen singer and actor Karn Hongladaromp had broken up since his mother, Ketwarong, criticised her on social media this month.
Mrs Ketwarong said she had chased her son and Sai from the family home, days after the pair were embroiled in a fuss over a leaked chat involving actress Nida “Tangmo” Patcharaveerapong.
In a no-holds-barred attack on social media, Mrs Ketwarong said Sai slept over with Karn, liked to leave her used underwear lying about his room, thought nothing of borrowing her own items when she had run out, and had taken to encouraging her son to criticise her.
Sai said while she has little contact with Karn these days, she had apologised to Mrs Ketwarong for the “misunderstanding”.
“I am sorry I offend adults at times, but we are both still kids. However, they weren’t my knickers,’’ she insisted.
“This is a sensitive matter for his family which I can’t discuss. I did go to his home, but we didn’t go all the way as some people have been saying,” she said.
Mrs Ketwarong’s attack came to light days after Sai and Karn were linked to a leaked social media chat involving actress Tangmo, whom initial reports suggested was seeing Karn on the sly, and trying to break up his relationship with the hapless Sai.
Tangmo said Karn had simply approached her for relationship advice, and it went no further.
Sai said she had also cleared the air with Tangmo. Her own family was relaxed and didn’t take Mrs Ketwarong’s attack on her upbringing personally.
