Chada Thaised: Ferocious opponent of Pita’s PM bid has a dark and violence-racked history

Bhumjaithai MP Chada Thaised captured national attention by fiercely opposing Pita Limjaroenrat's PM bid, delivering a fiery speech that staunchly defended the monarchy and attacked proposed amendments to the lese majeste law.
Chada's early life was marked by profound tragedy and violence; his father, mother, and older brother were all murdered in separate incidents by the time he was 15, compelling him to quickly take over the family's business.
Despite his difficult past, Chada successfully expanded his family's business into diverse sectors and transitioned into a prominent political career, rising from local mayor to a national MP and deputy leader of the Bhumjaithai Party.
His public life has been shadowed by ongoing controversies, including an acquittal for alleged murder masterminding, the murder of his own son, and police investigations involving weapons, solidifying his complex and turbulent reputation.
