Man Claims Comedian Is His Father, Seeks Missing Money
A 22-year-old man claimed comedian Mam Jokkmok is his father and reported to police that the star had sent him 10,000 baht via a mind-reading device, prompting officers to suspect mental health issues.
On July 20, 2025, at 11:30 a.m., at Mueang Udon Thani Police Station, 22-year-old Deft from Nong Bua Lamphu approached police to inquire about 10,000 baht he claimed comedian Mam Jokkmok transferred to him for travel to Yasothon province. The man told officers that he heard through a mind-reading device that his father—the famous comedian—had sent him money, but since he has no bank account, the funds were deposited into the police station's central account instead.
Deft explained that he came to the police station hoping officers would check if the money from his alleged father had arrived. Once he received it, he said he would immediately travel to Yasothon to reunite with Mam Jokkmok, whom he said he only sees on television but misses dearly.
Police believe Deft has mental health issues. The Mueang Udon Thani Police Station is coordinating with Nong Bua Lamphu Provincial Police to notify the man's relatives about his whereabouts so they can collect him and take him home.
