A tattoo artist lives with his eight wives – and they all get along perfectly happily and have even drawn up a rota for who gets to share his bed.
The Thai man, Ong Dam Sorot, was interviewed about his controversial marital status on a TV show with Sorot saying they all lived under one roof as one big happy family.
The show, which has notched up more than 3 million views on YouTube alone, featured Sorot introducing each of his wives and explaining how they met.
The women said their husband was the kindest, most considerate man on earth and all claimed to get on well together, Oddity Central reports.
He met his first wife, Nong Sprite, at a friend’s wedding and quickly asked her to marry him.
Sorot then met his second wife, Nong L, while at a market and met his third wife, Nong Nan, at a hospital.
He met his fourth, fifth and sixth wives via Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, respectively.
Nong Film, his seventh wife, met him while visiting the Phra Pathom Chedi temple.
He met his eighth wife, Nong Mai, while he was on holiday with four of his wives in Pattaya.
“He is probably the most caring and considerate man we have ever seen,” the eight women agreed and said they had nothing to quarrel about because he treated them all so well.
They described him as a “very kind and thoughtful man.”
Currently, two of Sorot’s wives are pregnant and he already has a son with his first wife, Nong Sprite.
The wives sleep in four bedrooms, two per room, and have worked out a rota to take it in turn to share a bed with their husband – a situation no one seems to mind.
When Sorot brought up the subject of possibly taking a second wife with Nong Sprite she reportedly said that she loved him enough to agree, especially seeing as he was always attentive enough to ask her if she was ok with the idea.
She agreed, as long as he brought his would-be second wife home, so she could meet her.
As to why the other women agreed to marry him, knowing he was already married, most of them just said they fell madly in love with him and simply accepted the situation.
They said he was charming and attentive and proved he could take care of them.
Some of the women found they had problems explaining to their families why they were marrying a polygamist but over time their friends and families came to accept the situation.
Sorot revealed in the footage that he had told his wives to always be honest with him.
If they found someone else, he said, they should just come and tell him.
He said he would ask them three times if they are sure they want to break up and if they say yes, he will let them go off.
This, though, is yet to happen.
Sorot said people always assume that he is wealthy and can afford to take care of such a large family but he denied this.
He said everyone in the family had their duty and he explained his wives earn their keep by doing chores or selling a variety of products as well as handmade accessories.
Sorot’s unusual lifestyle caused a stir on social media with some declaring their admiration for the man and having so many wives, while others poked fun at him, pitying him for having to deal with not one, but eight wives.
