Although it was said jokingly in a typical Thai casual manner, Bow Melda still faced controversy. Bow Melda previously gave a lighthearted interview saying she would ask for a 100 million baht dowry from Alec Teeradetch. However, some people saw it as focusing only on money and felt sorry for the man.
Recently, when Bow attended the gala premiere of the film "Thi Yot Saming Khao Kwang" at River Park, Icon Siam, she addressed the issue, saying
regarding her comment about asking for a 100 million baht dowry from Alec, some commented that she was greedy?
"I like money, I love money, but it’s my own money, not someone else’s. What I said was in a joking way, you know, as Thais often talk casually. Sometimes we have to dodge a bit. I said, ‘Oh, I saw the money in the account.’ Actually, I didn’t see it, just when he transferred it. He treats me well, so I figured he’s rich, but whether he really is, I don’t know."
How do you feel that many Thai people don’t watch the full clip?
"Thais are like us — sometimes we listen and think, ‘Is this really true? What’s going on?’ Then we say, ‘Okay, I’ll listen to the whole thing.’ I ask all Thai people to please watch the full media content, not just shortcuts. Try to listen carefully because the full interviews are fun and not boring."
Some comments say they feel sorry for the man and that it pressures him?
"Not at all. The man doesn’t feel pressured. See, that’s why I’m brave to say it. He’s that ready, so I’m confident to speak."
Did you talk with him about the drama?
"Yes, we talked. He said, ‘Baby, just keep talking.’ Even though men often don’t understand women well, he understood my interview." (sighs)
Are you afraid of more drama about saying you’ll marry if the movie hits a billion?
"If it happens, yeah. But I’m afraid he won’t come. Thai people talk casually, you know. Let’s wait until it really happens. Let him put the ring on first, then we’ll talk."
The movie also passed 100 million, right?
"Yeah, that’s right (laughs). (Suddenly sounds like not Bow Melda) Who are you? (laughs)"
Do you think Alec can handle it?
"He can handle it. I’m fair — no matter what happens, I won’t be a woman who leeches off a man. I like having my own money, and all my things I bought myself. Don’t worry, I won’t depend on a man. All the real men out there don’t need to worry. I’m rich, but not rich enough for the tax office to come after me yet."
Please, Thai people, watch the full clip, I beg you. These days, we all have free time and have experienced hardships. Let’s clear up misunderstandings by watching full clips, not just short edited cuts."
