Family

Prommayon was born in Udon Thani, Thailand, [5] to a Thai mother and an American serviceman. His father was recalled to the United States before Prommayon's first birthday. Prommayon moved to the Netherlands with his mother when he was eight. Later in his life, when he was 27, he wrote a letter to the television program Spoorloos asking if they could trace down his father. The program found his biological father, Elmo Blackman, through an American veteran archive and brought him to the Netherlands, where Prommayon subsequently met him for the first time. [5]

In October 2010, he was acquitted of money laundering by the court, but together with Abdellaoui sentenced to a two-month suspended sentence for laundering $ 38,000 made in dealing MDMA. [6]
