He married a Thai woman named Sangdi (most Thais did not have family names before 1918). His eldest son, Chiang Saekhu, was born in Chanthaburi in 1890, and also married a Thai, Saeng Somna. Chiang's eldest son, Sak, adopted the Thai surname Shinawatra ("does good routinely") in 1938 during the Phibun regime's anti-Chinese campaigns. The rest of the family soon adopted it, including Loet, Thaksin's father, who was born in Chiang Mai in 1919. Loet married Yindi Ramingwong, who is also of Hakka Chinese descent.[1][2]

Seng Saekhu made his fortune through tax farming. The Saekhu/Shinawatra later founded Shinawatra Silks and moved into finance, construction and property development.
