A former porn star has said that Buddhism helped her land a millionaire husband who is more than double her age.
Kejsarin Chaichalermphol, an X-rated Thai actress, says prayer and meditation aided her when looking for love, finding 70-year-old American architect Harold Jennings Nesland Jr.
The woman, 31, previously known as 'Nong Nat', has turned away from her previous career as the star of films such as Tokyo Hunter and Asian Heart.
She now says she is focused on her Buddhist ideals.
"Other than receiving kindness from my husband from his monthly payments, he has also been giving me extra money, too," she said. "No matter how much he withdraws from the bank, he splits it with me 50/50.
"Prayers and meditation get you a good husband."
The woman stirred controversy in the 2000s by appearing in black market videos that were distributed throughout Thailand, and was prosecuted for appearing in the productions, which breach Thailand's anti-pornography laws.
However, she quit the industry, became a devout Buddhist and married Mr Nesland in 2012.
"I used to be a Christian but I've been a Buddhist since I was about 21 years old," she said. "Recently I've started doing good deeds a lot more and taking the religion so seriously.
"I visit the temple, study and have to look after my family. All my time's taken up with donations, praying and meditating.
"Buddhism changed my mind a lot - it changed the way I lived my life. I'm a lot happier now."
Despite quitting her old job she still retains a strong Internet following, with 221,000 followers on Instagram.
