Pictures from the 7th annual Kom Chad Luek newspaper awards, you can see the complete winners list here or at Dirtii. The above picture from Bie Sukrit’s fanclub is of the winner circle: Bie was voted most popular actor, Pae Arak is up there because his lakorn with Aum “Jaew, Jai Rai Gub Khun Chai Taewada” was voted most popular lakorn, “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea was voted most popular actress. I don’t know how this happened, “Tui” Kiatkamol Latha was voted the Nation’s Popular Actor again for the 3rd year straight. If you can see him, “Ruj” Suparuj Taychathanon is standing behind Kob Suvanant, he was voted the most popular singer.

How much does Pancake make per year?

More than all of us.

My guess is 13.5-14 million baht ($409,672-$425,022 USD), considering she has to pay up 5 million baht in income tax. The income tax for individuals who make more than 4 million baht ($121,304 USD) and up in Thailand is 37%. Not too shabby when the average national income for Thais with an undergraduate degree is 84,000-108,000 baht ($2,548-$3,276 USD) per year according to wikianswer OR $7,000-8,000 USD according to other sources.

With her taxes paid, she would get to keep 8.5-9 million baht ($257,771-$272,934 USD).

Of course this guess is from simple math and even estimation, it is most likely off by a few thousand dollars.

Mam confirms pregnancy

[the most recent of Mam]

Oh how sweet, Mam confirms she is almost 3 months pregnant with her 2nd child. She told her 4 year old son Mac he was going to have a younger sibling and asked him if wanted a brother or sister. He said he wanted a younger brother to play with and he is not going to let anyone hold his younger sibling, not even his mother. Only he can hold his younger sibling, no one else.

Mac is too cute and very shy according to observations by reporters. Mam agrees but he’s 4 years old, kids around this age are shy, she said. When there is a lot of people who come up to her to say ‘hi’, little Mac likes to hide behind her back.

Mam’s 2nd child is due sometime in June and she plans to have more. She wants 3-4 kids because she doesn’t come from a big family, so she wants a big family. Her husband feels the same way.

The reporters mentioned that Willy playfully complained that Mam is in the lead  by 2-0. Mam said she doesn’t know what to do to help him out. She wants him to have kids too–Willy and his wife Yelly are struggling to conceive. Mam, did jokingly offered to be a surrogate for Willy once but he declined and said, “you don’t have to do that, I can do it on my own.” When he turns 45 and still can’t conceive, he might reconsider her offer. But by then, Mam would be 42, it might be difficult, Mam noted.
