Tata Young, the superstar of Thailand has engaged with Prame the son of the FairTex’s owner which is the biggest Thai boxing Center in Thailand. Prame, the fiance of Tata Young brought Sin-Sod (the money or property which groom has to pay for bride’s parents before getting married according to Thai culture) which costs about 100 million Baht.

Sin-Sod also includes the share of Fairtex company, it shows that the groom is ready to let Tata Young becomes the part of the family and he’s willing to give her everything. I found that Tata Young really meet true love this time since her previous talkative love with Paradorn Srichapan, but now she came back and very happy with her lovelife.

Many star couples get married this year, not only Tata but also Ken Theeradet and Noi Butsagorn, Meiji and Man.

I respect Tata in her confident and brave even the society talk bad a lot about her with her previous relationship but she can go through it gracely which can prove from the success of her international albums and her lovelife with her newly fiance.
