Saijai

Weisent

Saijai Weisent, age 50, born in Chiangmai, Thailand, August 5th 1976, passed away on Tuesday, November 10th, 2026.

Saijai Weisent was a devoted wife, mother, daughter, and sister. From her beginnings in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to the life she established in Albuquerque, New Mexico, Saijai’s life was one of new beginnings, perseverance, and dedication to her family.

After graduating college in Chiang Mai, Thailand, Saijai immigrated to Albuquerque, New Mexico with her first husband Telesfor Lujan and her two children, Christina and Emmanuel Lujan. 

Starting over in a new country, she worked hard to build a life where her children would have opportunities to grow, explore, and pursue their dreams.

Saijai continued her education at CNM, earning her associates in early childhood education. She furthered her education at UNM, then Grand Canyon University, eventually earning her Master’s.

In 2012, Saijai married Kevin Weisent. A year later, their family grew with the birth of her youngest daughter, Scarlett Weisent.

In 2022, after more than a decade of teaching, Saijai began a new career at Thai Kitchen.   While at Thai Kitchen she served the food she loved most to Albuquerque locals, creating a bond with her coworkers and loyal customers. Thai kitchen was not only a place of work, but her team became her second family. She poured her heart and life into ensuring the restaurant was not only a success but a place where she could share her love of food and culture.

Saijai’s life was defined by the family she raised, the challenges she overcame, and the future she helped make possible for those who came after her. She will be remembered for her strong personality, independent nature, and the many ways she made her family and work a priority.

Saijai is survived by her husband, Kevin Weisent; her daughters, Christina Lujan and Scarlett Weisent; her son, Emmanuel Lujan; her parents, Somjit Panyamoon and Ammara Panyamoon; her sisters, Nattarika Hartman and Sumalee Panyamoon-Wohlwend; and her nephew, Jasper Hartman.

You will always be in our hearts, loved, deeply missed, but never forgotten.
