Public Dispute Emerges Over Donations to Former Actor 'Uncle Yothin'
A controversy has surfaced involving 73-year-old former actor Yothin Maphan and his ex-wife regarding recent public donations.
A public dispute has emerged surrounding Yothin Maphan, a 73-year-old former supporting actor, following reports that his ex-wife requested money from him after his donation fund reached over 300,000 THB. According to Khaosod Online, the situation escalated when Porntipa Supattanukul, known as 'Director Fah,' personally transferred 2,000 THB to the ex-wife, identified as 57-year-old 'Ms. Bee,' following the initial reports.
On October 27, 2026, Ms. Bee spoke to reporters at a dormitory in Khu Khot, Pathum Thani, to refute claims that she had solicited funds from Mr. Yothin. She asserted that it was Mr. Yothin who had offered to provide financial assistance voluntarily. Furthermore, she explained that their relationship ended due to irreconcilable differences, noting that she could no longer bear the financial burden of supporting him while they lived together, which ultimately led to his departure from their shared rental room.
For residents and observers, this incident highlights the complexities often associated with public crowdfunding and the personal lives of individuals who suddenly find themselves in the spotlight. While the ex-wife has provided her account of the events, the full context of the financial arrangements and the nature of the communications between the parties remain subject to ongoing public discussion and verification.
