This was a TV special that talked about the popularity of Thai entertainment and entertainers in China. The video clip below is Pong's portion of the interview. Pong is one of the famous Thai actors in China and has a lot of fanclubs. Some have even traveled across oceans to come to meet him in Thailand. Pong says that the first lakorn to become famous in China is Luerd Kattiya starring Tik and Aom. After that, they were contacted to have Thai lakorns air in China. For Pong, famous lakorns of his are Song Kram Nang Fah & Proong Nee Gor Ruk Ter, lakorns that he knew have been welcomed in China, but he didn't think that they would go on to be so popular. When he went to Beijing, many fans came to welcome him and he was very surprised. He is happy when his fans come to see him in Thailand, but he is concerned if the trip is worth it or not for them, since they have traveled a long way to see him, but he only has a few moments to meet with them and he feels bad that he can't spend more time with them. He goes on to say that at first, we didn't know that our work would have value or not. Now it's bigger than any of us had thought. We have to work even harder now.
