Man disappears after dinner with wife and secretly gets married in Thailand

David Curtis, 56, from the UK, heard the verdict in a bigamy case. The court appointed him a suspended period, mandatory work and payment in favor of the victim. The Daily Mail reports.

According to the publication, in April 2025, Curtis had dinner with his family. He told Christie's wife he loved her. In the morning, the man went to work and did not return.

Soon the woman received a message that he needed a break. She later noticed that David's passport was missing. He stopped communicating and blocked his wife in all messengers.

After some time Christie saw in social networks the announcement of the wedding of David with a certain Quanta Satipjan. It turned out that the man secretly went to Thailand and married there a second time. In February 2026, Curtis returned to the UK, where he was immediately put on trial.

The Briton pleaded guilty. Christie later revealed that after seeing the wedding invitation, she felt nauseous. It was a great betrayal, as if 16 years together meant nothing. The woman added that she has already filed for divorce and does not understand why the man had to do this.
