David Curtis’s secret second marriage in Thailand came to public attention after a wedding invitation was posted online. The case shows how a hidden relationship can quickly turn into a legal battle.

In April 2025 Curtis told his wife he was heading to work, but he never came back. He later texted that he needed space because of a mental breakdown, said he would travel the world, blocked all contact, and his wife found his passport missing.

The truth emerged when his wife saw a digital wedding invitation on Facebook dated 18 November 2025. The post announced Curtis’s planned marriage to Kwanta Satipjan in Thailand and a honeymoon in the United Kingdom.

Curtis was arrested at Heathrow Airport on 26 February 2026 after returning from Thailand. He pleaded guilty to bigamy at Nottingham Magistrates’ Court in November and received a six‑month suspended prison term, 100 hours of unpaid community service, £650 in court costs and £154 compensation to his first wife, Kirsty.

After the trial, Curtis and Satipjan moved to Leeds, where they now live together after she relocated from Thailand. Their divorce from Kirsty has been finalized.
