One of a few Thai comedians I absolutely adore is Mum Jokmok, real name Petchthai Wongkamlao. Every movie he is in, I make sure to watch. Not for the movie itself because usually all of them lack substance, you watch for the Mum moments for his jokes and crazy antics.

I was excited when I heard “Yam Yasothon (eng title: Hello, Yasothon)” will have a Part 2, titled “Yam Yasothon 2)”. Now for the scream worthy part, Mum Jokmok, the director and actor for “Yam Yasothon 2″, he has casted his daughter Em in the film and also pairing her off with “Dim” Harin Suthamjaras, the lead singer of Tattoo Colour!

No way, yes way! Tattoo Colour is one of my Thai Pop Rock obsession and Mum Jokmok is my favorite comedian in films. What more can you ask for?

Mum jokingly contributes laziness as the reason why he casted his daughter Em for the film:

“I’m not trying to promote it, regarding this issues, I have decided to cast my daughter because she can speak Isan dialect (Northern Thai country folk dialect). It’s Em because I’m lazy to cast a Isan person, you know it’s difficult. I would have to travel back to the provinces, it’s better that I have casted my daughter. It is easier and more convenient. Another good thing, she is able to work off her room and board.”

Em lives with Mum, when he casted her in this film, he jokingly said he didn’t have to pay for her fee. If you get it the joke.

Filming for “Yam Yasothon 2″ will start next month. At this rate, it will probably be released nationwide by the end of this year or early next year 2010. The film is produce by Sahamongkol Film International.

If you have never heard of Tattoo Colour before, here is a MV of their song “Ka Moo (Pig’s Feet)” . The song is saying, life is a bitch but still you want to live it. Love is complicated and you have been hurt in the past, still you strive to be in love again. It’s a funny song.

Tattoo Colour- “Ka Moo (ขาหมู)”

Hate dramas but I still watch them all the time.
Hate hot-tempered people but I like boxing as well.
Hate rich people so much, they like to underestimate me.
But last night I just dreamed that I won the lottery.
Hate someone then I’ll encounter them everyday.
Hate people who break an appointment but I use to be one.
Hate so much when there’s hangover in the morning.
When evening falls in, I drink whiskey non-stop, endlessly.

*
Human life is confusing.
Because the heart is like having something.
Though I hate it but want it as well,regardless of whoever.

**
Hate love which makes me sad.
But I’m still searching,still waiting to find it continuously.
Never learn from the mistake,even though I know, in the end what’s in for me.
Hate the love that makes me cry.
But during lonely times,can’t carry on if he is not there.
Being alone is not enough.
Have to hope for someone to come and break my heart,don’t understand.

Hate gambling but I was once a dealer myself.
Cellphones are irritating but I have one too.
Hate being fat so much, everyone knows, but still orders pig trotters to eat always.
Hate when people judge someone by their looks but once I see a star, I’ll ask for their signature.
Hate crowds, get fustrated always but if I’m in a pub I’d still dance.
