How long have you done this job?
About 30 years. Before, this road was much quieter; there were no shopping malls or skytrain. After Robinson’s appeared, the area began to develop. Today, it’s really crowded and noisy.
How’s business these days?
People don’t know what...
It’s great to be Thai, isn’t it? We’re known around the world for our hospitality and graciousness. We’re peaceful people: we’ve never been colonized, and we don’t fight wars with our neighbors. Life is good, sabai sabai. We’re rightly proud to be Thai, and...
I discovered footvolley in Brazil. I was there with our beach football team when I saw people playing footvolley. It struck me that we might have the potential to play this sport, too. We are champions in takraw and these two sports have a lot in common.
I brought a Thai team to the 2003...
Why did you choose to be a flight attendant?
I like to help people and I also wanted to be in sales. A flight attendant needs to have a service mind and the ability to sell goods on board.
Doesn’t it feel weird calling yourself “Nok”?
Not at all, I’ve gotten used to it...
I don’t say it’s good to be out of the closet. But it has one good side effect; it screens people who come to me. If they don’t like gays, they can stay away.
Be whatever you want to be as long as you know who you are and you are a good citizen.
People see me as a pompous gay man...
How did you come to love music?
My father is a professional violinist, and I’ve been listening to him play since I was very young. I begged him to teach me to play. That’s why I love classical music. I knew of little else while all of my friends were listening to pop.
What are you doing...
I began my political career in 1988. Being in politics has given me the chance to get in touch with people on the street or in the countryside and the problems that affect their lives. I once met an 11-year-old girl in an orphanage who had been sold to a whorehouse by her father. As a mother, I was...
Tell us about Tales.
Wi: Our first two albums were more encouraging and preachy. But this album is more of an invitation to join us on an adventure.
Aon: Close your eyes while listening, envision the cool nighttime air and a star-filled sky. We have tried to create a fantasy world.
Would you say...
Say hello to our readers, please.
Win: Hello, we are Srirajah Rockers. We got this name because our ex-members are all from Srirajah. Because of our name, people always think we play rock. In fact, “rock” is the term Jamaican people use for reggae.
How did the rest of you get together...
How did you start this job?
Before I did bits of this and that for a living: clerk in stationary shop, noodle seller, factory worker and so on. My sister knew the owner of the boat rental business here, and when I lost my job, she recommended me to him. I have been working here for seven months.
