Regarding the recent heated issue involving Mai Ratchada Puangnuam, the famous hairstylist, throwing water at the actress Janie Thienphosuwan, during the wedding celebration of the famous couple Nadech Kukimiya and Yaya Urassaya Sperbund held at the Dusit Thani Hotel on 18 Jul 2026 GMT+7.
This event has made many wonder what happened between the two, who were once very close as sisters. But after they stopped working together, they no longer even look at each other. Thairath Entertainment revisits their relationship, from loving siblings to strangers who avoid each other.
- Mai Ratchada is a well-known hairstylist in the entertainment industry, trusted by many famous stars such as Nadech Kukimiya, Yaya Urassaya, Kimberly Ann Voltemas, Nai Napat, Margie Rasri, James Ma, Ying Rhatha, Macha Watthanapanich, Aff Taksaorn, among others.
- Besides being a hairstylist, she was previously Janie's personal manager, handling her work schedule. Mai was highly respected by Janie and was privy to many details of Janie's life. She was present during Janie's press conference announcing her marriage registration with Ae Chonmasawat, her ex-husband, and was also seen in photos with Janie and Mikki Non Alpat at the time they were dating.
- Then in August 2018 GMT+7, just two months before Janie married Mikki (their wedding was on 19 Oct 2018 GMT+7), Mai Ratchada announced cutting ties with Janie by deleting all of Janie's photos from her Instagram and unfollowing her. She also posted fiery Instagram Stories with messages such as "Always made the wrong choice, it's over" (with a praying hands emoji), "Stop, this is a warning," and a photo showing a raised foot.
- On Mai Ratchada's Facebook, she posted a message saying, "Go tell others you were pushed; I don't know who pushed you. Idiot. It's over." She captioned it, "That's it. Over." This led netizens to speculate whether it related to her relationship with Janie.
- Later, a netizen commented, "I don't know what problem you two have, but I hope Mai and Janie can become close again... I love you both." Mai replied clearly, "Never. It's too late. #OnceLoved."
- As for the cause of their conflict, rumors at the time suggested it was due to Janie wanting to change her personal manager, possibly having Mikki's mother take over, which may have upset Mai.
- However, many believe it was unlikely about financial benefits and more about deeper issues that led Mai to sever ties with Janie, especially since Mai regularly works with famous clients and presumably has a good income.
- Although they have ended their close relationship, Mai has never disclosed Janie's personal matters publicly, leading many to think the reason lies elsewhere.
- Ultimately, only Mai and Janie truly know what caused their fallout, to the extent that Mai refused to accept an apology and threw water at Janie when they met again after nearly eight years.
