Let the betrayal begin on Ch5′s ‘The Houseboat’, a tale of friendship between 3 guys who fall for the same girl. She loves one of them– Kaew, the hot-headed boxer. But decides to get engage to Chen, his police officer best friend, out of spite when she sees Kaew with another girl.
On stormy night, they find themselves alone in a straw hut together because of the pouring rain. The atmosphere, their sexual tension, their feelings for each other lead them to a passionate kiss and a night together.
It’s drama-filled. Three long time amigos and one girl, 3 for 1, it would be a good deal if it was like 3 bags of chips for $1, but we’re talking about relationship between people here. That is not a good ratio. In “Reuan Pae (The Houseboat)”, nang’ek “Ek” Butsakorn Tantiphana has to chose between 3 close friends who are renting her father’s houseboat. The guys are:
1. ‘Tono’ Pakin Kumvilaisak, as Kaew, the unruly boxer.
2. Son Songpaisan, as Chen, the honest police officer.
3. ‘Gun’ Napat Injaiuea, as Rin, the mellow aspiring singer.
She likes Kaew but Kaew is not up to her father’s standards, he’s an uneducated boxer with no future. Chen seems more promising than both Kaew and Rin, he’s educated and will be a police officer with a stable income. Her father would only allow Chen to pursue and date her. Because they love Chen, Kaew and Rin make way for him to pursue the woman they both love. No hard feelings. They can’t get the girl, they direct their efforts to other things such as pursuing their dreams. Kaew applies to enter a boxing camp, Rin finds a job at a radio station.
Just as things are going well, Chen has to leave for the police academy as part of his training to be a lieutenant . He tells Kaew to take good care of his girl Pen (Ek) when he is away. Kaew agrees but one stormy, thundering night, something happened between Kaew and Pen that will change the course of Kaew and Chen’s relationship and everyone around them. They had an affair. YAH, it sucks for Chen. He comes back from training and he finds his best friend with his girlfriend–worst friend betrayal ever.
“Reuan Pae (The Houseboat)” will air this Monday June 20, 2011 on Ch5.
For their June 2011 issue, the four leads of this lakorn are featured on the front cover of Sudsapda magazine. Great timing, a great way to promote the series.
TEASER:
The Nataraja Awards 2011 just finished airing a few hours ago on Ch5. Everyone looked great, BEAUTIFUL. No one was lip-synching when they had to sing the nominated best lakorn songs. Singers from the Star franchise, KPN franchise, and selected AF kids were grouped together to sing the songs. It was a live performance that bedazzled me, it was like a mini concert with all these talented young Thai singers. I was blown away.
The duet between Gam and Patcha for the song “Pler Ruk Mot Jai (Absent-minded Love)” from the lakorn “Dok Ruk Rim Tang (Roadside Love Flower)” was one of the highlights of the show.
Though the show was beautifully orchestrated, it was a little off , Ploy Chermarn was not there to accept her Best Actress award for the lakorn ‘Rabam Duang Dao (The Star Dance)’, Ken Theeradeth had to awkwardly accept the award on her behalf. Ken presented the nominees and named the winner Ploy Chermarn but she never came up. There was an odd pause where Ken stood to the side waiting for Ploy to come up. Then he realizes she is not coming, so he had to accept the award on her behalf with a chuckle. There is a whole discussion about this at Pantip. The first annual Nataraja Awards was amazing–this year, some complained it lacked ‘ dara spirit’ because some of the nominees did not attend. ‘Chai’ Chatayodom Hiranyatsathiti and Ploy Chermarn won but did not attend. “Aff” Taksaorn Paksukcharean and “Aum” Patcharapa Chaichuea who were nominated in the Best Actress category did not attend, it was quite noticeable too. For the Best Supporting Actor award, only one nominee was present, Puri Hiranpruk. It was really off.
Ken accepting Ploy’s award starts around the 5:20 time mark.

Back in October, Opps magazine asked several Thai stars the marriage and baby question, at what age do they believe they will be ready to settle down and have babies. Their answers will surprise you because it got me laughing, especially Chakrit, who said he wanted to get married at the tender age of 15 because he wanted to be a father. However, things did not turn out as he wanted to. Good thing guy, 15 is a little young.

Pictures from the opening/prayer ceremony of “Kaam Wayla Tam Ha Ruk (Crossing Time…in search of Love)” for Ch5 starring “Vill” Wannaros Sonthichai, “Bie” Sukrit Wisetkaew, Nok Sinjai, and various “The Star” entertainers such as “Grand” Phanwarot Duaysianklao and “Tono” Pakin Kumvilaisak.
The Plot:
“Crossing Time…in Search of Love” starts out in the year 2535 (1992) of a life of a young man named Phet (Bie). Phet works at a pub as a singer. His dream is to be famous, presumably with his singing. He has a supportive girlfriend named Prae Pim (Vill) and her father disapproves of their relationship so he devices a plan to break them up by betrothing Prae Pim to Phitnu (Sathaporn). Because they want to be together, Prae Pim and Phet run off together to Hua Hin.
One day in Hua Hin, they went to a temple festival and they got into an argument. Phet distanced himself from Prae Pim and went under an arch of fortune teller and meets Jao Por Sai Ngaam (Kroo Meud), an guardian spirit. He sees that Phet will meet a critical fate soon, so he uses his supernatural powers to send Phet to the year 2554 (2011) to show Phet his future.
Phet has crossed 19 years to the future and sees Prae Pim (Nok Sinjai) again, who is now 43 years old with a teenage daughter named Mai (Grand). At first, Phet believes that Mai is his daughter and is overjoyed. When he learns that Prae Pim is married to Phitnu, he is devastated. One, Mai might not be his daughter. Two, the woman he loves is married to someone else. It sucks. Disappointed, he goes back to his old house from the past which terrifies everyone there. because they believed they saw a ghost. Eventually, Phet learns that he died that night at the festival. He does know how but he died. Wanting to learn more, Phet decides to stay in the future to investigate how he died.
Phet tries to get close to Prae Pim by changing his name and applying to be a teacher at her musical school. She was there, so she might know how he died. The more he sees of her, the more he learns about her life which is not great at all. Prae Pim does not have a happy life, her husband Phitnu has a mistress named Weepawan (May). Her life is in shambles and she doesn’t smile as much as before. As he attempts to bring joy back into her life, Jao Por Sai Ngaam reminds him it is time to come back to the past.
Nok and Vill both play the character “Prae Pim”, Vill is the past and Nok is the present/future.
