Video: Pong & Aom's Lakorns Make Top 3 Lakorns in China
Love this video clip. It's created by the Thai Consulate in China about the popularity of Thai dramas there. As you can see from the clip, a lot of Pong and Aom's lakorns have been shown in China. But what we especially love is that the top 3 lakorns (by audience ratings) are lakorns of Pong and Aom.
Aom's Luerd Kattiya / The Princess - #2 Most Popular Foreign TV drama in 2008
Pong's Song Kram Nang Fah / Battle of the Angels - #3 Most Popular Foreign TV Drama in 2009
Pong & Aom's Proong Nee Gor Ruk Ter / Tomorrow, I'll Still Love You - #2 Most Popular Foreign TV Drama in 2010
That's pretty impressive when you think about it because Pong and Aom's lakorns are up against so many other international dramas (Korean, American, Japanese.....) that get shown in China every year. Plus, we also love it that at the end of the clip, our favorite actor Pong was given a mini spotlight.

One of Pong's Interviews in Shanghai
When Pong was in Shanghai, he did many interviews for many magazines. Here's one of his interviews. It was posted and translated by Flora Zou at pongnawat.net (thanks Mandy for the link).
Q:
Thai Drama is very popular in China now, Do you have any special treatment by Chinese fans?
答:
记得第一次来中国,完全没有想过粉丝这么热情.他们追着车跑,给我送礼物....我听说还有人飞到泰国去和我的粉丝联宜联盟~~
Q:
You ever act as a play boy, what do you look like in real life?
答:
当然生活里我不是这样。我有点害羞，但也喜欢交朋友，会和朋友去酒吧，但酒量一般。我还喜欢养狗，死了一只，现在家里的一只已经养了7年了。
答:
我就是为了寻找这样的合作机会，才来上海电视节的呀，好象<人的价值>已经在中国播放了，还是那种爱情片，但和我以往的角色不一样，我变得感情专一了，变得温柔了，不再是以往的花花公子了。
A:
I come to Shanghai TV Festival with purpose of seeking cooperation opportunity. I hear that <Kha Kong Khon> has aired in China. It is still a love story, but it is different from the one I act before. This time I am more concentrate on one person and more gentle, not a play boy any more.
问:
来中国有去过什么有意思的地方吗?
Q:
Have you been ever gone any interesting place in China?
答:
在北京，我喜欢去后海。一次是冬天去的，在上面滑冰，你知道， 在泰国，根本不可能有机会滑冰的。还有一次是夏天，我们在湖上划船。。。上海我是第二次来了，我上次去了泰康路的田子坊，我喜欢那里的建筑。我记得有一家店的咖啡味道很好。上海的小笼包味道很好,北京的烤鸭太油腻了。
A：
I like going to Houhai (Heihei, it is famous with its pub….) in Beijing. Once I go there in winter and we go skating on the ice. As you know, it is impossible to skating in Thailand. Another time it is summer and we boat on the lake… This is my second time to Shanghai. Last time I went to Tianzifang on Thaikang Road. I like building there. I remember there is a shop with good coffee. Xiaolongbao (Xiaolongbao is a type of steamed bun or baozi from eastern China, especially Shanghai and Wuxi. It is traditionally steamed in small bamboo baskets, hence the name (xiaolong is literally small steaming basket). Xiaolongbao are often referred to as soup dumplings or simply dumplings in English, but are not regarded as "dumplings" in China.) tastes really yummy, Peking duck is too greasy.

Q:

Have you ever become a monk? Can you talk a little bit about your life as a monk?
答:
泰国是个佛教国家，几乎每个男孩都要出家一次。出家的日子，不仅要剃头发，连眉毛都要剃掉，每天都念经，不过不敲木鱼，一天只吃两顿饭，而且不能碰女孩子。出家的时间是自己决定的，我就出家了半个月，也有人只出家了几天。但这对男人来说，是一个成长的过程。

A:
Thailand is a Buddhist Country and nearly every man will become a monk for at least once in his life. During days as a monk, we have to not only shave hair, but also eye brown. We have to chanting, but do not need knock wooden fish. We only have two meals per day and cannot have sex with woman. The time for being a monk depends on, like me, I am only half a month as a monk. For some men, they probably are only several days as a monk. However it is a growing process for a man.

Filming on Pidsawat Postponed
Well, it looks like we won't get to see Pong and Bee's lakorn Pidsawat anytime soon. Back in April, Bee stated in a video message to her fans that they would begin shooting in June. A few days ago, one of Pong's fans tweeted about when they will shoot the lakorn and Pong responded by saying that the project will be postponed to next year. Hopefully, Pong will be doing other lakorns in the meantime since we want to see more of him.
