Modern Casanova: Thai married to 120 women
Polygamy in Thailand is considered illegal, but this did not prevent the modern Casanova from marrying 120 women. Even more unexpectedly, they all know about each other and agree to such an alliance.
Tambon Prasert, the head of a district in Nakhon Nayok province, was recently forced to officially admit that he had illegally married more than a hundred women. 58-year-old politician and owner of a successful construction business invited media representatives to the house to shed light on his family life. When asked about polygamy, Prasert honestly replied: "I have 120 wives and 28 children."
Of course, he would not have been able to find so many wives in a short time. "I got married for the first time when I was 17. My wife was a few years younger than me. After her, I had a succession of other women. Most of them were young, under 20 years old. I don't like older women – they swear a lot," the politician said.
When Prasert grew up and opened his own construction business, he developed an unusual habit. He found a wife in every place where construction took place. "I am a construction contractor, wherever I build a house, I have wives everywhere. I love them all, and they love me," Prasert said.
Despite polygamy, Prasert acts honestly with his women. Every time he marries a new woman, he informs her about other wives, and they, in turn, about a new marriage. 22 wives live near Prasert, and the rest live all over Thailand. "I respect them all. In each case, I asked their parents for their blessings," said "Casanova". The maintenance of 120 wives and 28 children is not a problem for Prasert. He provides his large family with everything necessary.
