Not really my most anticipated lakorn, nonetheless it is airing soon on Ch5.
The plot of this lakorn centers around 3 best friends: Duanphen (Nat Myria), Kaewta (“Jeab” Sopitnapa Choompaneewho), and Kameuay (“Pei” Parnward Hemmanee), who unintentionally killed and kidnapped a child. Because I’m lazy, you can read more about the plot here.
Teaser 1
Teaser 2
Oh these older kids, just admit you’re together and endure the media’s scrutiny, then break up or get marry. At this point, it’s obvious that Nat Myria and Aum Atichart are dating. This past Sunday, Aum and Nat arrived at the same time to the first annual Nataraja awards, but refused to have their picture taken together. Nat walked in first, followed briefly by Aum, but he stood at the entrance refusing to come in, no matter how much the reporters pestered him to join Nat for a photo. He stood his ground and vehemently refused. Nat went right, Aum went to the left. When the reporters called them back for a picture together, they smiled awkwardly back and would not listen to the request. Nat and Aum quickly went inside, when the reporters got too rowdy in wanting a picture of them together.
Compared to other awards show in Thailand, the Nataraja awards was a pretty classy affair. No one wore jeans and the setting didn’t look cheap. The trophy is something I would want as a decorative piece in my house, it was a beautiful gold trophy of a Thai traditional dancer.
The event brought tears to many peoples’ eyes twice, first with “Aof” Pongpat Wachirabunjong’s acceptance speech and the second was when Nok Sinjai, Nok Jariya, and Aof Pongpat sang the song “Kwarm Fun An Song Sot (The highest dream)”. Before singing, the three pledged their allegiance to the King and asked the people of Thailand to stop the disagreement and fighting. The song was profound and it caused many to weep.
It wasn’t all gloom and tears, Anne Thongprasom did bring in laughs when she didn’t realize which lakorn she won the award for. She was too excited. Last night, she won the best actress award for her role in “Soot Sanaeha (A recipe for Love)”, but Anne mistaken thought she won it for her role in “Borisud Bumbut Kaen(The Revenge Therapy Company)” and started thanking her co-star Aum Atichart and the crew for that lakorn. Then someone from the audience clued her in that she was thanking the wrong people. Anne then said, ‘what series did I win this award for?’ Everyone laughed and “Captain” Puthanate Hongmanop who presented the Best Actress award, showed her the card. It was for “Soot Sanaeha (A recipe for Love)”. OPPS!

Nat Myria returns to the small screen as a criminal and a kidnapper in the lakorn “Trabap See Kao (White Sin)” for Exact-Scenario on Ch5, currently in production.
“Trabap See Kao (White Sin)” centers around 3 best friends: Duanphen (Nat Myria), Kaewta (“Jeab” Sopitnapa Choompanee), and Kameuay (“Pei” Parnward Hemmanee) who grew up together in an orphanage. The 3 women loved each other as true blood sisters.
Later on in their lives, destiny trapped them together as all 3 were involved in a murder and the unintentional kidnapping of an infant child name “Songkran” from his father Anon (Tang Saksit).
To avoid punishment, they changed their names and went underground and moved to Bangkok to wait until the investigation/case passed its limit. Once that occurred, they can live out in the open again. But fate played a cruel joke on them when Anon met Songkran (“Singto” Singharat Chanphakdee) again and did not know Songkran was his long-lost son. To complicate matters, Anon falls madly in love with Kaewta and believes she is Songkran’s biological mother, to which she is not. Now we have our lakorn question, what will Anon (Tang Saksit) do when he learns that Songkran is his biological son and what will he do to Duanphen, Kaewta, and Kameuay when he learns they were involve in his wife’s murder? I don’t know, since this is a lakorn, forgive them and moved on with his life and marry Kaewta because the murder was probably accidental or someone else committed it.
Singer turned actor Singto plays the grown-up “Songkran”, the child who was abducted by Nat, Pei, and Jeab. Ploy Patsorn is his love interest.
I been saying this for the longest time, I love Thai reporters, they are one sneaky bunch. Aum Atichart was asked again about his relationship with Nat Myria, he mentions they are still good friends who can talk to each other about everything. The reporters then baited Aum by asking when they are NOT together, does he miss her? He was forced to answer them:”well I miss her partially, it’s normal.”
I really don’t know how they got this information, reporters learned that Aum’s mother wants him to settle down. His eldest sister is married and has a child, his mother wants him to follow suit.
Aum:“The thing about getting married is that my eldest is married now and has a child already. Thus my mother wants me to settle down too. I have reach that age where I should (settling down with a nice girl and having some kids).”
But Aum has other plans. No wedding plans for Aum any time soon.
“Not yet, right now I’m very happy. Like I have told you, we are just talking. We are still friends.”
Pretty darn cool! Several Thai celebrities are taking part in the “Elle Fashion for Life” campaign, an HIV/AIDS benefits campaign aiming to create a new life for people who are living with the HIV virus. There will be a concert, a fashion show, and a magazine spread in Elle magazine to raise money for the benefit. Part of the proceeds earned from these events will go to the “Positive Partner Project”(a community development group) and also to Dr. Mechai Viravaidya aka “Mr. Condom”, the man who popularized the use of condoms in Thailand. He has promoted safe-sex and the use of condoms since the 70s.
The magazine spread in Elle magazine will come out this month and the concert will be held some time in June 2009.
Ken Theeradeth, Mew Lalita, Ananda Everingham, Dome Pakorn Lum, Tata Young, Pancake Khemmanid, Chompoo Araya, “Cindy” Sirinya Burbridge, Thanachai “Pod” Ujjin, Sunny Suwanmethanon Mario Maurer, and Nat Myria are few Thai celebrities attach to the project.
Pictures from the magazine spread…
Cindy is the woman lying down. Tata Young with her arms up. Dome is looking mighty scary hiding under his red leather jacket. Sunny surrounded by artists I don’t know.
Nat Myria is standing next to a weird guy. Pod is sandwiched between Chompoo and Pancake. Ananda looks lonely and wearing a red knitted beanie. Mario is sitting with a girl that I don’t recognize.
–Do click to enlarge, the photos are amazing. I love the red in contrast with the black and white.
