A Thai man is suing a woman he claims is still his wife for allegedly hiding lottery winnings from him before marrying her lover, according to Thaiger.

The man, Narin, filed a lawsuit against the woman, Chaweewan, to whom he claims to have been married for a period of approximately two decades, according to Thaiger. Narin said he had been working in South Korea since 2014, sending back money on a monthly basis to support Chaweewan and their three daughters, the outlet reported.

While he was overseas, Narin said that his children informed him that while he was away, Chaweewan won a lottery prize valued at around 12 million Thai Baht. He alleges that she hid the big win from him, according to Thaiger.

The 12 million baht prize is valued at around $353,000, according to the International Business Times (IBTimes). (RELATED: Man Reportedly Sues $2.04 Billion Lottery Winner, Claims The Ticket Is His)

Narin alleged that he was ignored as he subsequently attempted to contact Chaweewan. Searching for answers, he flew back to Thailand in March 2023 only to learn that she had reportedly remarried, according to Thaiger.

“I was shocked and did not know what to do,” Narin, who expressed a sense of disappointment, said. He added that he “did not expect that my wife of 20 years would do this to me,” according to Thaiger.

Narin sought the services of a lawyer and filed a lawsuit against Chaweewan. Although Narin reportedly never had an official marriage certificate, his lawyer says the fact relatives and some other individuals knew about the marriage constituted ample enough support for it to be official, the outlet noted.

Chaweewan in turn reportedly filed a complaint against Narin claiming that he defamed her, the outlet noted. She reportedly maintains that she did not attempt to hide the lottery win and said Narin actually broke up with her over the phone a few years back. An investigation into the case by local authorities remains ongoing.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.
