"Broke, Stressed, Drinking" Actor Clears His Name—Not the Owner of White Sand Beach; Lawyer On Brings Case to Crime Suppression Division
Actor Sai Cheeya Wongwirot filed a report with Thailand's Crime Suppression Division to clarify he is not the owner of Siamchai White Sand Beach in Samut Prakan, claiming he was hired as a manager a decade ago but his name appears on land d
On May 1, 2025, at the Crime Suppression Division's complaint center, lawyer On from Buriram brought Sai Cheeya Wongwirot, the actor known from the "Broke, Stressed, Drinking" advertisement with credits in several Hollywood film collaborations, to file a formal report and clarify his involvement with Siamchai White Sand Beach in Samut Prakan. Sai Cheeya explained that ten years ago, a businessman recruited him for a real estate land-division project in Nakhon Pathom province, offering a 15,000 baht monthly salary and a vehicle registered under the businessman's name while Sai Cheeya made the installment payments. When the business struggled, the idea emerged for Sai Cheeya to appear as the owner. He promoted the beach extensively, organizing events and birthday celebrations, and the venture became successful, attracting many visitors. He later requested a salary increase from 15,000 to 35,000 baht, which was approved, but received no annual dividends. His salary went entirely toward living expenses, car payments, fuel, and gifts for weddings and funerals under the beach's name. Depleted financially, his car was repossessed and he fell into debt. With diminishing entertainment work, he withdrew from the project and filed the police report to clarify he is no longer associated with White Sand Beach. After meeting with Crime Suppression Division investigators, it was discovered that Sai Cheeya's name appears on the land title documents for several plots alongside three to four other individuals, preventing the filing of a formal report at that time. He was advised to consult with his legal team before proceeding further.
