Tak Bongkot, billionaire Boonchai wed

Actress Bongkot "Tak" Khongmalai and billionaire Dtac founder Boonchai Bencharongkul were married in a ceremony at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Thursday morning, reports said.

Tak, 27, and Mr Boonchai, 58, were engaged on Nov 19 last year at his Museum of Contemporary Art on Vibhavadi Road.

Many celebrities and well-known business people attended the wedding ceremony, which lasted about one hour.

Reports said the bride price was a cashier's cheque in the amount of more than 100 million baht and a one-karat diamond ring.

The voluptuous actress, known for her erotically charged roles in films, such as Jan Dara, The Judgement and Bang Rajan, is almost three months pregnant.

Tak told reporters last year that she had fallen for Mr Boonchai because he had things in common with her: love of art, being a sensitive person, love of family and being grateful to his parents.

Mr Boonchai, a father of five, has had five wives. His fifth ex-wife is also a former actress, Benja Baramee.

The Dtac chairman and his family ranked 13th in Forbes magazine's "Thailand's 40 Richest 2012" released yesterday, with assets worth some US$990 million.
