Really. Both are beautiful and talented actresses but Chompoo’s image is of that of a sex vixen where as Kim Tae Hee is the Korean girl next door. Right?
Either or, our ‘Chompoo’ Araya Hagate has been dubbed the ‘Kim Tae Hee of Thailand’ by the Korean media after appearing in the Men’s Fashion magazine L’OFFICIEL HOMMES South Korea for their February 2012 issue.
The L’OFFICIEL HOMMES magazine spread made Korean netizens interested in our Chompoo Araya as they comb the net to find out who she is. For those who don’t know, Chompoo is one of Thailand’s top leading actresses from Ch3. Her lakorn from last year ‘Dok Som See Thong (The Orange Golden Crown)’ was named the lakorn of the year by Thairath newspaper and her role as ‘Raiya’ the promiscuous mistress in the series stirred up conversation about morality–there were debates from the viewers and the government.
The year 2011 was a successful year for Chompoo, all 3 of her lakorns were well received– ‘Rahut Torachon (Code of the outlaws)’ with Ken Theeradeth, she played a girl assassin, ’Dok Som See Thong (The Orange Golden Crown)’ with Aun Witaya, she was ‘Raiya’ the overly ambitious mistress, and in ‘Mia Taeng (Wedded Wife)’, Chompoo played the lead role of Arunpapai or Pai, the dutiful loyal wife of Rome Patchada who had a mistress. Her roles are varied and she portrays them well–she can be cute, be the perfect dream wife, or a cheating man’s worst nightmare of that of a wayward mistress trying to break up a family. Chompoo is entertaining.
