Singha Heir Claims He Was Also Sexually Abused By Caregiver, Mum Knew But Rehired Her

Just when we thought the sexual abuse controversy surrounding Thailand’s billionaire Bhirombhakdi family behind the Singha beer empire couldn’t get messier, the younger son at the centre of the scandal has gone on local television with even more disturbing revelations.

Marine conservation activist Siranudh “Psi” Scott, 29, broke down during a live TV interview on May 18 as he spoke about the trauma he says he endured for years.

The interview comes just days after Siranudh accused his older brother, Sunit “Pi” Scott, of sexually abusing him repeatedly between the ages of 12 and 24.

Siranudh and Sunit are sons of Chiranuj Bhirombhakdi and part of the influential Bhirombhakdi family, which owns Boon Rawd Brewery, the company behind Singha beer. 

In the interview, Siranudh revealed he wasn’t just sexually abused by his brother, but also by a caregiver.  

He initially only told his mother about the caregiver because he “wasn’t mentally prepared” to talk about his brother yet.

However, things allegedly took a disturbing turn after the caregiver was fired.

According to Siranudh, the caregiver later called his mother and threatened her, claiming she knew a secret involving his brother Sunit.

When his mother confronted Siranudh and ask whether the allegations involving Sunit were true, Siranudh admitted that they were, only for his mother to order him never to tell anyone.

Believing he was safe again, Siranudh said he instead ended up being kicked out of the family’s Hua Hin home by his mother.

He said that at that moment, he felt he had lost his home and no longer felt any sense of security within his own family. He has been living in southern Thailand since 2020.

What hurt him even more, he said, was that the same caregiver was subsequently rehired by his mother to work in the family home again. Since Siranudh went public with the allegations, the caregiver has reportedly fled her residence.

The emotional TV appearance has sparked another wave of sympathy online, with many Thai netizens flooding social media with supportive comments.

Siranudh also addressed why he chose to speak out only now, after years of silence.

He explained that he had been raised by his late grandfather, former Singha Corp chairman Chamnong Bhirombhakdi, who taught him to love and protect family above all else.

“I always tried to believe that what he taught me, and his spirit, still existed within this family,” Siranudh said.

But after his grandfather’s death, he gradually realised the family no longer held the same values, leaving him heartbroken.

“I feel that my grandfather is no longer in this family,” he said.

Siranudh stressed that he never wanted to hurt his family by going public, but said he had already lost hope that anyone within the family would protect him or acknowledge his pain.
