In May 2025, Nake Chali had his house broken into by thieves who stole all the valuable possessions he had collected throughout his life. Over a thousand valuable collectibles, including a 100-year-old antique violin, disappeared, with estimated losses exceeding 20 million baht. He believes someone close to him was involved and has reported the matter to the police. However, up until now, he has not recovered any of the stolen items, despite reports that the thieves have been caught.
Recently, Nake went live early in the morning to talk with his fans about the lost property. He lamented that while an influencer had their stolen safe recovered by the police, his own safe and the valuables inside, worth over 50 million baht, have yet to be found. He also mentioned wanting to appear on a TV show, but was not allowed because he is seen as a playful youngster who talks too much.
Additionally, Nake revealed that the possessions he had collected were intended to be sold to support himself at age 70, so he could live comfortably without working. But since the theft, everything has changed, and he has been feeling stressed.
"Every firearm I own has a license. The misfortune of my life is that the show won't let me appear because I'm a kid who talks too much. I see news about others whose safes were stolen and later found. My safe alone contains valuables worth 40-50 million baht, including cash and gold, though I don't care about the exact amount. I also had 300-400 violins, each worth about 200,000 baht. Add it all up, it's a huge loss."
"I still see my violins listed on the marketplace, being sold for 2,000 baht or even 700 baht. But I don't want them, and that's fine. I'm happy for the kids who get them, they must be happy. But the guns really annoy me, because each one is registered in my name and has its license."
"I've loved collecting guns since I was a kid. I have every model, all with proper registration and my name. Every gun has a history because it took me a long time to find them, especially the James Bond 007 model. I think it's now with some police officer. Some models are extremely rare, with only 100 pieces worldwide. I don't know which police or military person has them now, but I’ll be frank: they can only be with them."
"I acquired every gun properly. If I got any from someone deceased or their family, I promised to take good care of it. When I had no money, I never sold them. I only planned to sell when I reached 70 to live comfortably. I had many such items and could live without working. But now, everything has changed over the past nine months, and I've been somewhat stressed."
"Actually, when I get old at 70, I planned to sell them to afford caretakers and live comfortably. Selling just one gun could support me for a year or two. I’d spend no more than one to two million baht a month, not recklessly, but comfortably exchanging these items."
