Thai woman seeks justice after false affair accusation with business partner

A Thai woman is seeking justice after being falsely accused of having an affair with her 80 year old business partner by his 70 year old ex-wife. The victim claimed that her husband recently died from stress after over seven years of a legal battle with the bitter old woman.

The 37 year old Thai woman, Pimon Panwisai, sought help from non-profit organisation Saimai Survive after being embroiled in a legal dispute with the vindictive elderly woman for over seven years, with no resolution in sight.

Pimon explained that she invested in a restaurant in 2017 in the Mueang Thong neighbourhood of Nonthaburi province, near Bangkok, alongside her business partner. This partner later transferred his shares in the restaurant to his younger brother, who is now 80 years old.

Unexpectedly, her business partner’s ex-wife, who is 70 years old, filed a lawsuit against Pimon, accusing her of having an affair with her ex-husband. The old woman later divorced her husband, 10 years before Pimon even knew him, making the lawsuit perplexing for Pimon.

Pimon stated that the old woman submitted a photograph of a female employee talking to the elderly man to the court, claiming that Pimon was the woman in the picture. The woman demanded 2.5 million baht in compensation from Pimon and 50 million baht from her ex-husband.

Pimon insisted that she never had an affair with her business partner and that the woman in the photograph was not her.

Fortunately, the court dismissed the case and later charged the elderly woman with providing false testimony to the authorities, sentencing her to two years in prison. However, the punishment was suspended for two years.

Despite her defeat in court, the elderly woman has continued to file new lawsuits against Pimon over the past seven years. The old woman even accused Pimon of crashing her car into someone, leading police to come to her home for an arrest.

Pimon’s husband became stressed over the ongoing issue and later died. Her mother-in-law also mistakenly believed that Pimon committed adultery with the old man.

Pimon wants the dispute between her and the old woman to end, so she sought assistance from Saimai Survive. The organisation plans to contact Rattanathibet Police Station to discuss the details of each legal charge filed against Pimon.

Additionally, the organisation urged the elderly woman to cease her actions, as there was no relationship between her and her ex-husband any longer.
