Madame Keng Denies 100-Million-Baht Debt, Swears on Live TV

Madame Keng, a billionaire businesswoman and owner of Chi Villa & Spa in Ayutthaya, appeared on Thai Rath TV to deny allegations that she lent 800 million baht to a famous amulet expert, saying the real debt is around 600 million baht. She challenged critics to swear on air that if her statements are false they should face immediate misfortune, and said she could not forgive the debt because 260 million baht remains a large sum. The interview, hosted by Ra Nawatok Sukchan, aired at 7:30 p.m. on October 20, 2026, and was simulcast on social media.

Madame Keng opens up tonight to clear the 100-million-baht debt issue, challenging anyone to swear she’s lying and demanding immediate consequences if untrue. The story, dated October 20, 2026, revives hot debate in the amulet market after a prominent amulet expert previously aired his side. Billionaire businesswoman Dorn Thiantoawong, known as Madame Keng, owner of Chi Villa & Spa in Ayutthaya and involved with M.C.S. Steel, will give a full interview recorded for airing tonight on Thai Rath TV Channel 32 and all social media at 19:30, hosted by Ra Nawatok Sukchan. She says the industry sees her as a favourite among amulet experts because of her financial liquidity, describing the background of her help and the contracts made, and noting she once viewed the other party as a younger sibling she wished to assist if possible. She said she has gone through the debt acknowledgment process many times, not happening all on the same day as the news, and that she has often been dodged. She asks rhetorically: "If I were going to cheat, I would have cheated when the debt was 800 million baht." She confirms the other party never owed her 800 million baht as reported; the actual total debt is about 600 million baht. She firmly states her position, challenging to swear before the media: "If everything said today is not true, both of you may suffer misfortune within three or seven days, or even today." When asked about the chance of forgiveness and dropping the case, she said if the other party apologizes and asks to waive the debt, she cannot because the 260 million baht amount remains a large sum. For those interested in following the story, deeper background and full facts can be watched via her opening up today on Thai Rath TV Channel 32 at 19:30.

The shift aims to provide steady year‑round income as rubber prices remain volatile and younger generations avoid rubber tapping. The farm already yields champedak selling for 30‑40 baht per kilogram and expects continuous harvests from complementary crops.
