It became a hot topic on social media after Scotty Sai posted a clip saying she did not want to be called an heir of a prominent family before tearfully revealing that her older brother sexually abused her and that recently her mother was preparing to sue over property her grandfather had left as inheritance.
This issue brought attention online to the inheritance Scotty Sai received from her grandfather, which is a seaside holiday home in Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, situated on prime land. She had previously opened this house to the TV program “Tee Tai Krua” on Channel 3, which aired on 6 Jul 2025 GMT+7.
In one segment of the show, Por Natthawut asked Scotty Sai about her grandparents, who were the origin of everything for her. Sai said they were the trees that sheltered her from difficulties. When they were not around, she felt alone in a storm. Her grandparents raised her, and if she didn’t have them, she wouldn’t have learned what family love feels like. Otherwise, she would only know people who hurt her and her father and mother’s shortcomings.
Her grandparents made her feel she could be herself. They planted in her the love she deserved from her parents. That is what she got from them. Sai wanted the show to film there because the house holds many memories. After returning from COVID, she worked with psychologists abroad and realized what she had experienced as a child. She had blocked those memories; sometimes traumatic events in childhood are blocked, and she lived only half a life.
During COVID, she had to return to Thailand and felt a strong urge to be by the sea. When she arrived, the nanny who had abused her was still there. Everyone lived together, which was unusual since they usually stayed apart. Being together during COVID made her realize that her true self was the one she had abroad, and her life in Thailand involved being abused and living under her abuser’s control.
One day, Sai decided to tell the nanny that she remembered the abuse. The nanny was shocked and said that if everyone knew, he would be fired. That was five years ago. Everything changed quickly. Sai was very sad because besides her grandparents and adoptive mother, she also had a nanny she loved but knew she had to cut off because the nanny’s actions were wrong.
That day Sai had to accept losing someone she once wanted to care for her. She never imagined life without that person, but this is what happens to abuse victims. Perpetrators often seem powerful, but Sai didn’t care. Being by the sea and swimming reminded her she was strong and could survive. She trusted that voice inside her.
She thought it was time to tell her mother and other relatives. At first, no one knew and everyone was shocked. Aunt Nui (Jurairat Pirompakdi) said the nanny must be fired. After that, there was pressure to remove him. Sai lived fully, swimming far in the sea.
As she grew stronger and swam farther, doing more social work, her mother lost control over her. Her mother made life difficult at home, telling workers not to speak with Sai and withholding help if Sai didn’t greet her. This conflicted with Sai’s true self. She realized the outside world was not how her family treated her inside the home.
By then, her aunts and uncles had left home and COVID was easing. Only Sai and her mother remained. At one point, her mother made her life unbearable, so Sai moved to the south to work in conservation in a national park. While she was there, her mother hired the woman who had abused Sai to work at the house again, preventing Sai from returning home.
She began to cry as she said this was probably the lowest point of her life. For some, just surviving such trauma is remarkable. But her mother pulled her back only to hurt her. The house, filled with memories of her grandfather, was no longer accessible. She stayed by the sea all the time, swimming between islands, because on land she did not feel at ease. The sea was her only home then.
She realized she had to reclaim her life. Sai started writing down everything that happened to her and tried to collect positive experiences to prepare herself to confront the situation. She knew that once she revealed everything, her image and family relations would change. She reached a point where she no longer cared about her family’s opinion because she had to survive. What happened was not her fault from the start, and justice had to come with her own voice demanding her rights.
After writing and releasing her story, she got help from relatives to force her mother to return her rights and stop harming her. They signed all necessary agreements, as everyone who saw Sai’s story knows. The house she was once kicked out of and forbidden to live in turned out to be under her name, not her mother’s. It was a house her grandparents had given her. The situation was more dramatic than a soap opera, but it was real.
