Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh, a 45-year-old politician from Sukhothai province in Thailand, was recently suspended by the Thai Democrat Party after her 64-year-old husband caught her in a compromising situation with their 24-year-old adopted son, Phra Maha, who is a Buddhist monk.
The scandal has caused a stir on social media, particularly in China, where it is being followed like a soap opera. Chinese social media users have expressed shock and disbelief at the situation, calling it more like a work of fiction than reality.
Prapaporn, also known as “Madam Ple” by her supporters, joined the Thai Democrat Party in March 2023 but has been inactive in party affairs since last year’s general elections. She holds a position as president of a chamber of commerce in Sukhothai.
Prapaporn and her husband adopted Phra Maha from a temple last year, with Prapaporn claiming she felt sorry for his circumstances. However, her husband grew suspicious of her fondness for young monks and eventually caught her and Phra Maha in bed together.
The incident was captured on video and went viral, with Prapaporn denying any sexual activity with Phra Maha. The monk has since left the monkhood and gone into hiding, as it is against Buddhist principles for monks to engage in sexual activity or be alone with women.
Overall, the scandal involving Prapaporn Choeiwadkoh has caused a significant uproar in Thailand and beyond, with many people questioning the morality and ethics of the individuals involved.
