After making major headlines when Poo Kanokwan openly told the media that Deaw Doksadao had a secret life for 29 years and that their relationship has now ended,. on the Club Friday Showshe opened upand tearfully shared the story of what happened:

- Poo said she had lost all merit and fortune with Deaw because on 22 Nov 2025 GMT+7, she discovered the secret life Deaw had hidden for 29 years.. - Poo said she wished this secret would die with her because the name Deaw Doksadao has been a heavy burden on her, but after meeting that woman, she never visited Deaw again.

- Because people who visited Deaw didn’t see Poo, and since she didn’t post about Deaw, rumors spread that she neglected and abandoned him, which started the controversy.

- Throughout Deaw's illness, Poo wanted to prevent any unpleasant images of him from being made public.

. . .

- Poo said she was hurt by the accusations from many that she abandoned Deaw while he was ill.

- When she visited Deaw and met that woman, she admitted she was shocked because the woman said to her, “I’m sorry for everything that happened before. We’re not angry anymore, we’re old now.”

- Poo told Deaw, “You know what you did to me. I hope you recover quickly, but I’m done now.”

- Since that day, she has not visited him again and has decided to end the relationship.

- Poo shared that Deaw wanted to visit his daughter and Poo because this year the daughter is graduating.

- Poo called her daughter to tell her about what happened and the woman’s words; the daughter was shocked and told her she would always support her.


She confirmed her daughter never obstructed visits.

- Poo insisted that Ple, Deaw’s daughter, did not prevent her from visiting and initially helped care for Deaw together, sharing responsibilities when he was still healthy.

- Deaw’s daughter managed. the welfare matters and rights because Poo was not knowledgeable about these.

- Poo’s role was to call Deaw’s daughter urgently to pick him up when his symptoms worsened; she handled finances and made money transfers only.

- Poo told Deaw’s daughter about Deaw’s secret life, but the daughter said she needed to forgive her father.

- Deaw’s daughter knew about this and perhaps loved her father enough to cut ties, which Poo understood with empathy.

- Poo said she once asked Deaw about the past, but he would avoid and refuse to answer; she no longer wishes to seek the truth from him.


Recalling when Deaw first fell ill,

- Poo said Deaw began showing symptoms on his birthday, 21 March, after a social gathering. By 23 March, he was walking and speaking abnormally, so she urgently called their daughter to take him to the hospital.

- Deaw was diagnosed witharterial stenosis. After two weeks in hospital, he was discharged for home physiotherapy. Their daughter cared for him daily, disposing of comfort items, managing everything because Deaw wanted his daughter to do it, not Poo.- They cared for him for nearly a month, and his condition recovered to 90%.

.

- Poo shared that when Deaw reached 90% recovery, she recorded a video hoping to post it once he fully recovered.

- But suddenly, his speech became unclear again. She told her daughter that Deaw had relapsed severely, requiring a ventilator and tracheostomy. Deaw’s daughter made and signed all medical decisions, and she covered the expenses.. - The daughter also handled applying for Deaw’s benefits.

- On 3 June, Deaw’s daughter messaged to prepare medical equipment costing over 40,000 baht, plus another 30,000 baht for other supplies, and 1,000 baht per day for a caregiver, totaling 30,000 baht monthly, which Poo paid.

- Deaw was unhappy with the first caregiver, so they changed; the second was also unsatisfactory, so Poo asked who should care for him and was pointed at to do so. She agreed but said she could only do so much. During that time, her daughter was on break and helped care for Deaw with Poo.

- Poo and her daughter did all the caregiving for the bedridden patient until Poo passed away.

- Deaw was moved to a care center due to abnormal phlegm color; their daughter arranged hospital transfer.

- After Deaw went to the center, Poo had time for back treatment; some unflattering photos of Deaw surfaced because comedian friends visited. Poo had intended to keep such images private.

- Poo did not go to care for Deaw due to her back treatment.

- Later, Deaw’s daughter said she would move him to a relative’s home, which Poo accepted and appreciated, as her health was declining. They paid relatives an extra 10,000 baht monthly. Only then did Poo see photos revealing it was a care center.

- Poo asked who paid the expenses, and the daughter said friends of Deaw helped because he was a good man who helped many, so some returned the favor.

- Due to selling goods and treating her shoulder and back, Poo could visit Deaw only once a week, on Wednesdays.

- Poo was hurt by words calling her "waning money, a vagrant," saying Deaw had been fading for a long time, was elderly, with little work, and that she was the head of the family managing everything.

- No one ever asked Poo if she was tired caring for a bedridden patient for nearly a month, how much money she had spent, or why she visited Deaw only once weekly, yet they concluded she abandoned and neglected him.

- At times, she still felt betrayed, as she cared and supported him well.


- She will not return again.

- Even if given a chance to clear everything with Deaw, they cannot walk the path together again because Poo is decisive and clear. Though she was deceived financially before, this betrayal was much bigger, cold-blooded, and cruel. If that woman had spoken like this when Deaw was famous or healthy, she would have confronted her.

- Why didn’t she come forward sooner? Then Poo wouldn’t have been blamed for abandoning Deaw during his illness.

- And the newly discovered truth: Deaw had registered a marriage with someone unknown to Poo, as she didn’t know the real name of the woman caring for him. It wasn’t the mother of his child because they had separated long ago, but he had a marriage certificate registered before Poo.

- Poo wants to tell Deaw that after being together through happiness and hardship, he chose this path, so she could not walk with him anymore and left. But now knowing the truth, seeing the woman, and the land deed of 4 rai under Deaw’s name—even though it was Poo’s money, she gave it all away—she only wants their child.
