Tao Somchai’s wedding

Tao Somchai had his wedding ceremony today at the Peninsula hotel to his wife of a few weeks, “Yui” Atmat Atwawimon, a career woman, the assistant director for Cosmo Thailand, Poly, and Dichan magazine. The couple have been friends for years and started dating 3 months ago and married exactly 14 days ago. Their abrupt marriage was a complete shock to everyone, especially to Tao’s young girlfriend from Chiangmai. The media wondered if it was for publicity stunt or whether she is pregnant. It caused quit a controversy and continues to be a hot topic for tabloid news.

The dowry for Yui included several gold chains, 800,000 baht ($23,348) in cash, 1 million baht ($29,187) deposited to a bank, and a diamond jewelery set.

Mor Krit, the controversial fortune teller with the most obnoxious voice, said the couple are soul-mates in terms of being friends. As husband and wife, Mor Krit predicts they will last much longer than Tao’s marriage to Nat Myria.

Surprisingly some comments left at Manager news were well-wishes to the controversial couple.

“I wish you two the best and hope you stay together for more than 1 month.”—HAHAHAHAH. In all seriousness, there were a lot of well-wishes to Tao and Yui.

Yui is 36 and Tao is 35. I hope it works out, she ain’t getting any younger. Sorry that was rude of me.
