The love story between Mint Chalida, a well-known Thai actress, and billionaire heir Pupaa Taechanarong has captured the attention of many across Asia. After dating for 12 years, Pupaa surprised Mint by expressing his wish to become a monk for life in 2024, leading to her hospitalization due to shock.
However, he later changed his mind and is now committed to marrying Mint. The businessman, born in the 1990s, orchestrated an elaborate proposal in Kyrgyzstan, complete with an exchange of rings in a stunning valley after nurturing their relationship for 14 years. The scenic backdrop of the proposal held special significance due to its connection to the couple’s names.

During a product launch event on October 16, Mint shared the joy of Pupaa’s proposal, recounting the emotionally charged moment when he proposed with a ring. The challenging journey involved horseback riding and hiking before the surprise proposal in which Mint was moved to tears. She also revealed their upcoming wedding plans in Khao Yai, Thailand, awaiting an auspicious date to be set by their families.
Mint Chalida, born in 1993, expressed her excitement and nervousness about the upcoming wedding and deliberated over wedding dress choices as she transitions into married life with her fiancé, born in 1991.

Mint mentioned that Pupaa has been advising her on improving her cooking skills, gifting her a cookbook inspired by the manga series One Piece. With newfound enthusiasm, Mint looks forward to becoming a capable and loving wife.
Their relationship, which began in 2012 when Pupaa initiated contact with Mint, faced a challenging period in 2024 when he considered a life as a monk. Mint’s emotional distress and subsequent hospitalization due to this sudden decision were followed by relief as Pupaa reversed his choice and proposed to her.
