Thai Durian Tycoon Offers $270,000 and Fortune to Man Who Marries His Daughter

A Thai businessman has turned heads online after offering $270,000—and his entire durian empire—to any man willing to marry his 26-year-old daughter, Karnsita Rodthong.

Arnon Rodthong, the owner of a large durian farm in southern Thailand, posted the offer on social media, saying he wants a “hardworking man” to take care of his business and his daughter. He emphasized that Karnsita helps manage the family enterprise, speaks English, and is “a good person.”

However, his mention that his daughter is a virgin stirred debate online, with many criticizing the remark as inappropriate and outdated.

Karnsita, meanwhile, reportedly found the viral post amusing. “I just laughed when I saw it,” she said, adding that she thought her father was joking. But to her surprise, Arnon appears serious about his proposal.

Arnon clarified that he isn’t looking for a rich or well-educated suitor. “I don’t want a son-in-law with a master’s degree or someone rich. I just want a diligent man who will work and make my daughter happy,” he said.

The unusual marriage offer has since gone viral, drawing both humor and controversy from netizens worldwide.

Marcos Visits Quake-Hit San Remigio, Cebu to Oversee Relief Efforts

President Bongbong Marcos Jr. visits San Remigio, Cebu, to inspect relief and recovery operations for families affected by the recent 6.9-magnitude earthquake.

President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. visited San Remigio, Cebu, on Thursday to assess ongoing relief and recovery operations for families impacted by the recent 6.9-magnitude earthquake that struck parts of the province.

Marcos was welcomed by Cebu Governor Pamela Baricuatro, local officials, and disaster response teams as he toured affected communities to check on evacuees and assess infrastructure damage. The President also led a briefing with the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) and local authorities to evaluate ongoing aid distribution and rehabilitation plans.

The strong tremor, which jolted Cebu earlier this week, caused widespread damage to homes, schools, and roads, displacing hundreds of families. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) has been providing emergency relief packs, while the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) continues to inspect bridges and public facilities for safety.

Marcos assured residents that the national government will prioritize rehabilitation and ensure that affected families receive timely support. “We are working closely with local governments to rebuild quickly and make sure our communities are safe again,” he said during the visit.

Authorities continue to monitor aftershocks, urging residents to remain alert and follow official advisories.
