WARNING - GRAPHIC IMAGES: Nednapha Nuankhul 26, appealed through social media for help as she was the victim of a vicious attack by her now-jailed husband.

A wife has revealed how her jealous husband threw petrol over her and lit her up with a match while she was cooking.

Thai woman Nednapha Nuankhul 26, appealed through social media for help as she was the victim of a vicious attack by her now-jailed husband.

The husband had inflicted horrific burns by setting her alight in their home in Thailand.

Nednapha says: "I was at home cooking when my husband threw petrol over me from behind.

"As I turned around, he then threw a match at me.

"I screamed until a neighbour heard me and managed to get the flames out.

"She then rushed me to hospital.

"The pain was unbearable."

She is undergoing a series of surgeries to graft skin onto the affected areas around her mouth, neck and jaw as well as for her fingers and arms that have become claw-like as a result of the damage to the tendons.

The police caught her husband shortly after and he is now in prison.

Nednapha, who has one child, Lomy 6, said: "We cannot run away from our karma; maybe I did some bad things in my previous life."

Appealing for help to pay for hospital visits and medical supplies because her husband, now in prison, cannot work, she added: "We have only two things in our lives, karma and the merit we can gain by doing good for others."

Nednapha adds: "My husband who is a violent man and extremely jealous did this for no reason, but me and my son will get through this together".
