Madam Pang: Thailand's "female general", extremely rich, still claims to help Xuan Son?

Madam Pang is the nickname of Nualphan Lamsam, born on March 21, 1966. Mrs. Nualphan Lamsam is the 5th generation of the wealthy Lamsam family, a very famous Chinese family in Thailand's financial world.

Madam Pang is a familiar face and has made great contributions to the development of Thai football over the past decade. From 2015 to 2019, she was the head of the women's football team that participated in the 2015 and 2019 World Cups, and then led the men's football team to win the 2020 and 2022 AFF Cups. At the same time, she is also the President of Port FC, one of the oldest football teams in Thailand.

Recently, at the AFF Cup final, Vietnamese player Xuan Son was injured on the away field, against Madam Pang's Thailand team. She immediately spoke up saying that she would directly support all medical expenses and care for Xuan Son in Thailand before he returned to Vietnam with the team. However, the Vietnam Football Federation recently responded immediately.

Mr. Nguyen Van Phu explained: "According to the regulations of the ASEAN Cup 2024, if a player is injured on the field, the team's doctor will directly provide first aid. If a player is seriously injured and has to be hospitalized on the away field, the home team - the organizer of the home match - will be responsible for handling the medical work. Since Thailand is the home team, according to the tournament regulations, Thailand will provide medical conditions to provide emergency care for player Nguyen Xuan Son on Thai soil. When Xuan Son returns to Vietnam, Vietnam will take care of it."

Vietnamese netizens now realize that this is an inevitable responsibility, not from Madam Pang's heart, and think that she is the one who took the blame.

Last year, Madam Pang became the first female president of the Football Association of Thailand, with 68 out of 73 votes in favor. Not only that, Madam Pang is also the President and CEO of Muang Thai Insurance, one of the leading insurance companies in Thailand.

She is also the CEO of Kasikorn Bank (KBank), one of the four largest banks in Thailand. She is also involved in the luxury car industry as a co-owner of Meister Technik, the distributor of Audi cars in Thailand.

She is one of the pioneers in importing high-end fashion products from abroad to Thailand. Through two companies, Wanmani and San Honor, she has brought big brands such as Hermes, Emporio Armani, Chloe, Blumarine... closer to Thai consumers.

Madam Pang belongs to the 5th generation of the Lamsam family, one of the richest and most influential families in Thailand, operating in the banking and insurance sectors. According to Forbes, the Lamsam family's total assets are up to 890 million USD.

Madam Pang graduated with a degree in Business Administration from Chulalongkorn University (Thailand) and continued her studies for a master's degree in management at Boston University (USA).

Although Madam Pang’s personal assets are not publicly disclosed, experts estimate her assets to be worth hundreds of millions of dollars. One of her most prominent assets is a villa located in the heart of Sukhumvit, Bangkok, with an area of over 2,000 square meters.

At the 2022 AFF Cup, Madam Pang gave the Thai team a bonus of 26 million baht (about 19 billion VND) after they won the championship. In addition to cash, she also gave players and coaching staff many luxurious gifts, including designer handbags, Rolex watches and even cars for outstanding individuals.

After the team's victories, she continued to spend millions of baht to boost the team's morale and held lavish celebrations. Madam Pang was also known for investing in modern facilities and equipment, and organizing international training trips to improve the Thai team's level.

At the national team level, Madam Pang has long been a major sponsor of Thai women's football. Muang Thai Insurance is the main sponsor of the Thai women's football league, and Thai women's players are employed there as sales staff. This helps them secure income even when they are not playing football.

She always emphasized that football is not only a sport but also a source of national pride. "The success of the team cannot be achieved without both spiritual and material encouragement. I want each player to feel that they are not only playing for themselves, but also for the millions of Thai fans," she shared in an interview.

Regarding marriage, Madam Pang married businessman Vachara Phanchet and had a daughter named Nuawan Phanchet. The couple divorced in early 2005. In 2014, Madam Pang married for the second time, this time to police colonel Narat Sawettananas. The two often appeared together at important events.

In addition to football and business, the 56-year-old billionaire also has a great love for luxury brands and high-end fashion. Many times she has spent money on bags and watches from famous brands such as Dior, LV... to give to Thai national team players. Her Instagram page has more than 800,000 followers and is where she regularly shares her personal life as well as the achievements of Thai football.
