By popular vote for Sudsapda magazine at their website and facebook account, the ranking of the 20 most huggable Thai guys of 2011. ‘Roi Marn (Trace of the Devil)’ star Boy Pakorn is ranked number 1 and ‘Ter’ Chantavit Dhanasevi came in last. I would agree, Boy did give one of the best hug and confession scene in lakorn history in Roi Marn episode 13. It’s one of those scenes, you’ll remember for a long time.
He knocks on her door, she opens it terrified, not knowing who was there. On the other end, it’s him with a drained, exhausted face. He slowly walks towards her and wrapped his arm around her body.
‘I have something to tell you,’ he says. ‘Before we get a divorce tomorrow.’ He takes a pause. ‘I think…I think I am secretly in love with you. I don’t want it to be like this. I don’t want to get a divorce, but I don’t know what to do.”
He tears up quietly and so does she. Next big whopper question, ‘can I say with you tonight?’ AH.
‘Please don’t chase me away.’
She embraces him back tighter and they wept in each others’ arms. Their relationship was twisted by family debt and obligations. Their marriage was a force one and her cousin was a jealousy B. From the beginning it was not meant to be easy.

Ha, Yesterday’s episode, episode 12. All I have to say is this, in what lakorn universe is this? Nang’ek does not pee in her pants. EVER! Maybe sometimes, but I can’t recall those scenes. This is a rarity– “Flames of Arrogance (Plerng Torranong)”, nang’ek peed her pants because of fear from a tarantula crawling up her leg.
She went to go pee and he did offer to come along for protection, but she pushed him away: ‘are you freaking crazy, I can go on my own.’
A few seconds later, she screamed for help. ‘Help me, Peung, Help me. Pueng Help! Where are you!’
Ha. Don’t you feel regretful now since you rejected him earlier.
As she is whining like a scared 3 year old, he calmly pulled the tarantula off her leg and released back into the beach.
“It’s gone now.”
Namfon: ‘Really?’
Peung:’Open your eyes and see.’

That’s nice and all and good for him. The thing I found amusing is that Mario Maurer became popular in Korea because of his resemblance to Korean hottie actor Won Bin. Some Thai netizens believe he looks better than Won Bin. Blasphemy! Others don’t want Thais to be compared to any other nationality. Thais look like Thais, that is good enough. NO need for a comparison. Then they were a few who argued about Mario’s skill as an actor. He’s stiff. Personally, I don’t think he is that bad in “Plerng Toranong (Flames of Arrogance)”, when his father passed away and he cried, I wanted to cry too. It was a good scene.
A snippet from the Korean Tourism website:
Thai singer and actor Mario Maurer is to be appointed as a promotional ambassador for Korean tourism by the Korea Tourism Organization.
The 23-year-old will make a four-day trip to the country along with four winners of a drawing competition named “Feel Korea with Mario” carried out by the Bangkok branch of the organization.
Mario’s entire itinerary will be filmed and broadcast on the popular Thai entertainment TV program “Surivipa Show” next month. Mario, who is of Thai and German descent, is one of Thailand’s top celebrities. He became popular in Korea due in part to his physical resemblance to one of the country’s leading movie stars and was dubbed “Thailand’s Won Bin” when he visited Korea in 2009.
Meanwhile, the number of Thai tourists who came to Korea last year jumped 37 percent to set a new record of 260,000.

Some Thai netizens were pretty upset with Mario Maurer when he broke up with long time love, actress ‘Gubgib’ Sumontip Leuangthai. There anger didn’t stem from the break up–people break up every second, no big deal. No, it was how Mario handled their break up with the media that bothered Thai netizens. By saying he never dated ‘Gubgib’ Sumontip Leuangthai and the were just ‘friends’, that statement ticked off many people. He was very ‘mai suphap burut (Not a gentleman)” and wasn’t a man for saying that.
Mario Maurer is aware of the criticism from Thai netizens, he thinks they need to relax and he does take their criticism seriously. “I want everyone to calm down, I do take it seriously when I receive criticism like this. I want you to watch me for a long time, when I counter various issues, I want encouragements too for myself and Gubgib. All of this is between the two of us, I don’t want anyone else to get upset over it. One day it might get better, but I don’t know what the future holds,’ said Mario.
Gubgib and Mario have been talking and seeing each other. Mario made it clear to the media he still sees Gubgib by this statement:”we still talk. I have never said we stopped talking or that we can’t see each other. Gib is my beloved friend to who I have known since I was a kid which makes us able to talk typically.”
Because of the criticism, the media wanted to know if Mario will be more cautious about what he says during interview. Mario said ‘ah’ no because he speaking the truth. “No not at all, I’m speaking the truth. I have said since the beginning. I have never introduced or accepted event gigs as her boyfriend.”
Mario did want to develop their relationship to something ‘more’ but it wasn’t the right time.
