Chada Thaiseth (Thai: ชาดา ไทยเศรษฐ์, born 7 June 1963) is a Thai politician and chao pho who is well known for his influence, especially in the Uthai Thani area. Dubbed as "Godfather of Sakae Krang Basin".[1]

Early life

[edit]

Chada (personal nickname Lhada) was born to a Thai family of partial Pakistani Pathan ancestry hailing from Swati tribe of District Battagram, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa of Pakistan. [2]His grandfather was a major beef trader, so it was passed down to his generation. His father also extended the family business to the timber trade. Both his father, mother and older brother were shot to death one after another as he grew up. Therefore, only he and his younger sister, Mananya Thaiseth, were left with his siblings.[1]

His younger sister, Mananya Thaiseth, is a Deputy Agriculture Minister of Thailand.[3][4]
