I have never seen the original from 1998. Most likely, I will never watch it because of the poor quality uploaded on youtube or maybe it’s too old and I can’t get into it.
The lakorn is “Saam Num Neua Thong (3 Golden Men)”, a modern take on love of 3 amigos with different personalities who happen to be best friends.
First we have Teetat, originally portrayed by Thanakorn Posayanon, he is a playboy who owns a construction company. He loves life, partying, and his freedom. He lives with his girlfriend and they have an open relationship. Eventually he will fall for the cheerful Lamphao, a veterinarian and the cousin to one of his best friend Kritchai. In the 2011 remake, newcomer Ken Phupoom will be playing Teetat and “Toey” Jarinporn Junkiat is Lamphao. They are the lakorn’s bickering pair. Teetat once insulted Lamphao, saying he will never eye her as a love interest, which really ticked her off and they have been arguing ever since.
Secondly we have Watchara, the honest police officer. Watchara has been in relationship for years, but has doubts. His girlfriend wants to get marry, but he has been stalling it. He eventually finds true love with the unselfish Fai, originally played by Kem Rujira. ‘Pip’ Ravit Terdwong was the original Watchara. In the new version, Boy Pakorn is, and his nang’ek Fai will be played by newcomer Marie. Sorry, I couldn’t find out her last name.
Lastly we have Kritchai and Arunsri, they work for the same company. Kritchai is a good guy, unlike his friend Teetat, he is not a playboy or lively. He is sincere with his feelings and secretly has a crush on Arunsri, but she has a boyfriend and is very faithful to him. Her boyfriend however is absolutely horrible, he has a gambling addiction and has always been unfaithful to her. When he dies, she begins to look at Kritchai in a different way, a man who is always on her side, ready to help her in every way possible. The new Kritchai and Arunsri is Kimberley Anne Woltemas and Mark Prin, the originals were Pok Piyatida and Jakkrit Amarat.
Their relationships:
Kritchai, Watchara, and Teetat are good friends.
Lampao is Kritchai’s cousin.
Kritchai works with Arunsri.
Fai is Arunsri’s best friend.

The fashion sense for this lakorn is amazing.
I give this two thumbs up for the fashion sense,
Toey, Marie, Mark, Kim, and Ken
The guys goofing off.

Mark Prin and Kimberly
They all look young and fresh.
An adorable pic of Kim and Mark
Damn Woonsen, can you even walk on those?
Woonsen, Toey, and Ken forming a love triangle?
Note, I don’t know when this lakorn will air because they have not even begun filming yet. Most likely, it will air sometime next year. I hate how Ch3 doesn’t do film as it airs. Korean dramas do it and Ch7 does it too, but rarely is it done on Ch3.
agree with you! i really do love the fashion sense.
and the all black formal outfit really is WOAH. loving it already, and the storyline is pretty good.
just hoping the directing wont be hella boring! they have a lovely casts there.. though its weird to see mark and kim.. XD i’m used to think they are siblings..hahaha.
hi is anyone subbing this lakorn please email me at denise226@verizon.net thanks
looks interesting. luv the cast, and yes, the fashion is awesome!
Seems interesting and I really love how they dress.
So beautiful people !!!!!
Woowies, I’m really excited for this ^^
Love the casts <3Toey.
I find the whole Kimberly and Mark thing a bit weird. To me they will always be Nam and Din, brother and sister from 4 Hearts of the Mountain. To pair them up as a love couple just seems wrong somehow, but I thinks the other combo’s will work. Don’t know anything about Ken but Boy could make things hot with almost anyone!!
lol i feel the same way, but lets see how they’ll pull it off. luv mark tho, that boy is darn fine! haha
Can’t wait for it to air!:D:D:D
WHOA!! KEN IS ON HOTTIE ^^ cant wait for this LAKORN!
I love the PICTURES, FASHION, CHARACTERS, & the CAST. & I think that POPE and TOEY will have a better story line because i love characters that bicker, LOL. I’m weird but yeah.
I never knew that POPE was such a good looking guy ! He is TOTALLY HOT/CUTE !
OOOOOOPPS ! My bad, i was looking at something else. LOL, i meant, “KEN”
He is such a HOOTTIEEEE !!!! I hope he appears in more LAKORNS !
nadech was supposed to be in here too, but he got replaced or was too busy . man i was hoping all guys reunite again! =)
I agree, the fashion sense is really good! Marie is super gorgeous! Boy and Marie’s story seems the most interesting IMO so I’m hoping that her acting is a match up for her co-star. Ohh and Pitta is in here too! I miss that girl!
i agree, 2 thumbs up for the choice of fashion! gotta give it to the stylist and khun yosinee. she knows how to make her daras look good..everyone look gorgeous/handosme. good looking cast they have here.
i rather not have ch3 air and film at the same time cause it will turn out like ch7s lakorn
Mark!!!!!! i love him.
So far, this sounds pretty good. It is the first lakorn I’ve seen of in a while that peeks my interest.
I think it’s better that Ch.3 doesn’t do shoot-as-it-airs lakorns because then it doesn’t wear out the actors/actresses and the story-line doesn’t constantly change depending on the ratings. I think that could be one of the reasons why Ch.7 lakorns usually don’t have as good a storyline as Ch.3 ones.
