Wave Sarin Issues Public Warning Regarding Unauthorized Use of 'Baiyoke' Surname
Actor Wave Sarin has publicly demanded that individuals not related to his wife, Bung Baiyoke, stop using her family name on social media.
On October 22, 2026, Thai actor Wave Sarin, husband of Bung Baiyoke, issued a stern public warning via social media regarding the unauthorized use of the 'Baiyoke' surname. In a video shared by his wife, Sarin addressed specific individuals who are not part of the family but have been using the prominent surname, demanding they remove it from their profiles immediately.
Sarin clarified that his message was directed at specific people rather than an entire organization or group. He emphasized that he intends to address these individuals personally, stating that if they do not comply with his request to remove the name, he would take further action to ensure the name is removed. Bung Baiyoke supported her husband’s stance, clarifying in her caption that the warning did not apply to her family members, including actor Boy Pakorn, whom she tagged in the post.
For residents and visitors in Thailand, this incident highlights the cultural significance and protective stance families often take regarding well-known surnames associated with prominent business dynasties. While this is a private matter between the couple and the individuals involved, it serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting personal identity and family branding in the public sphere. It remains to be confirmed whether the individuals targeted by Sarin will comply with his request or if further public disputes will follow.
