Former pra’ek and singer Hugo Chakrapong will convert to Islam in order to marry his long time girlfriend actress Hana Tudsanawalai. The wedding is set for March 21, 2009. They will have a traditional Muslin morning ceremony and the evening reception will be held at the palace Chakrapong, his pad. Her dowry will be a measly 126 baht ($3.60 USD), adhering to the Muslim custom of small dowries. They will have bridal homes in 3 places: New York, England, and Thailand.
Hugo loves her and doesn’t see the point of waiting to marry compared to other stars in his age group.
“I feel a sense of fun when I’m with her. When I was working aboard, I had a thought to make my life more meaningful. Both myself and Hana work in the entertainment business and we meet a lot of people, but I have never felt this way about anyone and that is how I realized she was the one. Other people in the entertainment business in my same age group are afraid to get marry, but as for us, I don’t see the point of waiting.”
As for converting to Islam, no one forced him, he wanted to do it for her. Good for him and lucky for her.
@ Laosuwan I completely agree with you!! Who the fuck are these Muslims to steal Thais of their identity?? To force them into their believs that are childish, mind polluting and most dangerous for Thailand unseperable entwined with politics and laws!!
Islam has NOTHING to do with Thailand! Muslims ARE NOT THAI! NOT AT ALL, ISLAM CAN NOT SEPERATE BETWEEN RELIGION, POLITICS AND PERSONAL FREEDOM OF IDENTITY! Religious Muslims think different, they are controlled by medi-eval values, unable to take criticm and always try to impose their religion on others. They want want want demand demand demand yet they don’t give anything back to the societies they live in!!
It’s because they despise the societies for what they are: NON Muslims! Thais should know that this is a cultural war, that most wage on us without even knowing but the ideological leaders and thinkers, educated and linked to the Arab world have their agenda for this country and this is a gradual overtaking of Thailand! The erosion of the host culture through birth Jeehad, (four wives, no contraceptions), conversion (forced conversion as in the example above) among others!
It’s time for Thai people to wake up and see that Islam is not only a religion but a political ideology that seeks to infiltrate societies and dominate them in the long run.
This guy who married this Muslim bitch is a betraytor to his country, his culture and his people! Who are the Muslims to force Buddhist Thais to convert? They play with the emotions and the love of Thais for their own imperialistic purposes. It’s just a small peace in this complex picture of the Islamic onslaught on Non-muslim societies!
The community which is deep in the hand of the mosque and its leader often reign strict control over it’s members (that’s why there are so many mosques! It’s all about control!) making sure no-one is leaving Islam! You are not allowed to participate in Buddhist ceremonies, you can not bid farewell to your parents when they die along with your family! Imagine you would force that upon people in Islamic countries YOU WOULD BE KILLED!
As you see, in Islamic countries you’ll be sentenced to death for leaving Islam, and
@ryneil, what country are you from? Malaysia? Well, I don’t think that Malaysia really respects other religions, they try to restrict them in any way they can, they make life difficult for non-muslims!! You pay extra taxes if you are not a muslim! You have it more difficult in the professional as well as academic level as a non muslim, they even banned Yoga from Malaysia, no way you can find a bible in Malay language, they try to close down one Hindu temple after another, they arrest non-musims for kissing in public sentencing them to jail term and so many other discriminating things towards non-muslims. And it’s everywhere the same where Muslims are a majority! It’s not coincidence folks!
Muslims are so paranoid, tell us it’s a religion of peace yand we read, see and hear everyday that it is not! In Thailand give them free reign, and that is what happens!! It’s time to stop that Bullshit and that we combine the Anti Islamic front in the West with that here in Thailand!!
@ Laosuwan feel free to contact me it’s rare to meet Thais that are aware of the problematic of Islam it’s time to change it!! Get your information guys, how many Islamic pressure groups are there that demand special rights for Muslims yet they give a shit about anything else! There’s a cultural war and there are many Muslims out there they want to change the surface, the face, the essence and the soul of this beautiful country which culture and lifestyle is so much superios to that of these Islamic medi-eval hell holes that discriminate women, gays, Hindus, Christians, Buddhist and anyone just like you and me if you don’t convert to their cult. Think about it!
To all Muslis here, I’ve got Muslims friends and before you are offended, they are not religious, they don’t put Allah before people, they are nice and they don’t shun to participate in Buddhist ceremonies because they’re open-minded, tolerant and global citizens if you are such one don’t feel offended, nothing against you.
to laosuwan: u don’t know what is islam so don’t say anything without thinking!!!!! gosh, u make almost all muslim angry….in my country, there is no rule forbidding other person to follow their religion(even though islam is main religion)…there is buddhist, hindu , christian n many more….just let him do whatever he want….don’t misjudge islam…
that’s disgusting;leaving ur religion just to marry some1…i dunno y musims do this all the time..y can’t they just let others follow their religion?
Judging from the picture I would say she probably follows Islam religion loosly. That is not the traditional Islamic ceremony. But whatever it’s his buiness, I don’t know why this is big news.
where is her veil?
well, boy now has excuse to mommy and daddy why too lazy to shave face
converts to islam, how disgusting and hypocritical. First, she is lucky to live in a buddhist society that lets here marry who she wants and dress like a slut without getting acid thrown in her face. Let her go to pakistan or indonesia or libya or bangledesh dressed like that and experience the real inner islam. Any how hypocritical of her to say, one the one hand, there is no compulsion in religion, and then say you have to change his religion to marry me. And only an idiot would join a religion to marry some girl who is herself mentally unstable and that has as its central dogma the koran verse, he who changes his (islamic) religion, then kill him. Once he divorces her in the future and tries to rediscover his real religion he will be marked for death. But this is more than just a stupid guy doing something stupid because he wants a stupid girl, and it is not a personal matter between two peope, because of their high profile and young people’s willingness to emulate pop figures this is an assault on buddhism, Thai society and an abuse of our generousity. Let a Christian or Hindu in a muslim country tell a muslim he must change his religion to marry and see what happens. If you do the math you can see this is an assualt on our demographics. Really his actions are disgusting, to throw away thousands of years of history and priceless teachings of dhamma that come to mankind one in millenium just to marry some girl that follows an alien arab belief system from the 7th century that teaches it is above others and kills them if they resists, is both disusting and suicidal.
laosuwan ! you just spit upward to the sky and looks your stinky nam lai fall back to your ugly stupid face….ha ha ha…. just realize it buddy that we thai are only tiny 70m out of the rest of the world out there…be smart by open your eye, widen up your narrow mind…. see and look those “44 kor kai” are only written and read here in our be love country compare with A,B,C…. and Arabic alphabet spread through out the world… Buddhist are bottom of the list out of other great religious….Who we are ????
