Previously, it was a widely discussed issue involving drama between Tanya Thanyares, Peck Sanchai, and Ning Patama. This followed rumors linking the relationship between "Ning Patama" and Peck Sanchai. It also included the drama about Tanya Thanyares' inner voice, which sparked a heated controversy. Peck himself has already addressed the matter, admitting he knows Ning Patama, and that they indeed traveled to Chiang Mai and the U.S. together, but only for work. He said that if it were secret, they wouldn't appear publicly.
Recently, Ning Patama gave an interview clearing up all the drama, firmly denying being a third party or a mistress. She detailed a clear timeline of her Chiang Mai trip, saying she only went for work and flew on a different flight. The photos seen at the airport were from work where they had to take the same flight because there was only one available. She said that if it were secret, they wouldn't appear publicly like this.
Could you explain what happened?
"Let me start with Chiang Mai. Regarding Chiang Mai, I still insist that I did not travel there with Peck, but we met at the Warm Up bar. I have reviewed my timeline. I traveled with my band, the Patama Band, on 9 May 2024, flight VG 103, which can be verified. There were 10 people, including me and nine musicians."
"Upon arrival, I was on standby for an hour before going on stage. Then the bar owner told me that two artists would join, one of whom was Peck Sanchai, and the other was another artist. I agreed with no problem. I only learned Peck was there after I had been on standby for an hour."
Did you know before that?
"No, I didn't know. There was no arrangement to meet Peck there. I don't understand why Peck said I went to Chiang Mai with him."
Did this happen before the interview on 26 December?
"Yes, before that. Then around November, P'Ya posted asking who I went to Chiang Mai with. From May to November, I never traveled privately or for work under Peck's hire. We never went to Chiang Mai together except meeting at Warm Up."
What about the photos at the airport?
"That was Buriram Airport, not Chiang Mai. Peck likely recommended a job there, a venue in Buriram. I traveled with my personal manager; the tickets were booked by the host, not us. We didn't fly together going there, but returned on the same flight due to limited options. During work, Peck did not interfere or dine with us."
When was the Buriram timeline?
"Around 10 November 2025."
Before or after our interview?
"Before."
Were you shocked by the leaked photos?
"No, because we were in a public place, not hiding in a hotel room. I'm clear that I swear I didn't go, though I don't know who Peck went with."
What about claims of multiple trips?
"I remember a few: Buriram, Phitsanulok, and the south, probably Hat Yai. These are the main ones."
And the U.S.?
"Yes, I went for work—singing at three locations: two in LA and one in Las Vegas. During breaks, I traveled with my manager, P'Pan, visiting Disneyland, Universal Studios, and a theater in Las Vegas. I never met or traveled privately with Peck; we only met during work and group meals."
Did Peck arrange all the jobs?
"Yes, Peck did."
Was your manager always with you?
"Yes."
Do you know why Peck helped you find work?
"I don't know. Peck himself said he can't change his nature. Many misunderstand me. Being called a mistress is a serious accusation. I have parents and have worked all my life, supporting my family. I have never taken meals for hire or been anyone's mistress or third party."
Do you accept Peck’s personality as flirtatious?
"Everyone knows Peck is flirtatious. He often jokes or flirts, and I always remind him we are siblings."
From May to November, when the rumors escalated, did you try to clarify?
"I distanced myself a lot to avoid issues with P'Ya and barely spoke to her."
Did P'Ya misunderstand anything?
"I don't know."
Did Peck cross any lines or flirt with you?
"Peck has his style; I don't want to dwell on it. He admitted it is his nature."
Peck said, 'It's up to everyone to think.' How do you feel about that?
"I think it's ambiguous and causes confusion. But today, I firmly confirm I never thought beyond friendship with Peck or became a third party."
Boss Nawath said you only traveled together once. Is there a communication gap?
"I haven't talked much with Boss yet, only briefly."
How about the difference between one trip and several you mentioned?
"About 3-4 times, mostly work-related. Never traveled just the two of us. I always had my manager with me."
Did you talk to Peck after the news broke?
"No, not at all."
Do you want to explain to P'Ya since perspectives differ?
"I have explained and talked to her. I understand her, and she didn't think it would become a big issue."
So you cleared things with P'Ya?
"Yes."
Did she apologize?
"Yes, via direct message on Instagram."
What about the airport photos?
"I was unaware at the time."
Some say the photos were taken deliberately. Your view?
"I was in a public place, so anyone can take photos. Peck is a superstar, so it's natural people recognize him. I went openly for work."
Do you still dare to work with Peck?
"No, I haven't accepted work from him for a long time. I don't want problems."
Any pending jobs with him?
"No, all cleared. No more."
How would you describe your relationship?
"Peck is still my respected elder brother, same with P'Ya. I can't be a third party or mistress to either."
What do you say to those labeling you?
"I understand people's emotions, but if it happened to your family, you'd feel hurt too. It deeply affects me as I support my family. My parents lost appetite and sleep. It's painful."
How long did you stay silent and why speak now?
"I thought one day people would understand. Sometimes, you don't need to explain much."
Did you talk with your family about this?
"I rarely talk about problems, but I asked for their blessings to get through it."
What about your relationship with someone named Yo?
"I dated him around 2022 but couldn't continue into 2024. It's a legal matter I'm currently pursuing."
You have taken legal action?
"Yes, for extortion."
How much?
"670,000 baht."
Why did you decide to report?
"I was tired of being under someone's control and had endured enough."
What happened from 2022 to 2024?
"He threatened to expose information if displeased."
Threats to reveal private photos?
"I can't say more due to legal reasons."
Were you distressed then?
"No longer."
Boss Nawath posted that the money was returned and suspects someone behind it. Your thoughts?
"I don't know."
Can't talk more on this?
"Yes."
Money returned but legal process continues?
"Yes."
If he contacts you to negotiate?
"I won't talk."
Do you see yourself as a victim?
"I have been a victim all along. Many see him as good, but no one knows what he did to me."
What helped you endure and move on?
"Patience."
Did you cry over this?
"Of course, it's normal."
Are you confident in your statements and innocence?
"We'll fight this in court."
Finally, a message for those who have changed their view of you?
"I sincerely apologize to everyone for the negative news. Maybe I was too eager for work without thinking carefully. I apologize to all parties, including Boss, for causing trouble, and to society. I hope my case will be the last of this kind because no family would be okay with such accusations."
Has the news affected you as a Miss Grand?
"Greatly."
Will you continue to compete?
"I leave that decision to the Boss."
Does the Boss still see you as Miss Grand?
"I love the Boss. Thank you."
