From news anchor to university lecturer to superbike racer, he’s done it all. As he stars in Pen-Ek Ratanaruang’s Nang Mai (Nymph),  he adds another career—actor—to his already lengthy resume.

I’m a news anchor, an MC, a lawyer, a lecturer, a TV host, a presenter for three products, a superbike racer, a businessman and, most recently, an actor.

If you had to work like me, you would have no energy to do anything on weekends.

I’m a big fan of Pen-Ek. I like all his films from 6ixtynin9 to Monrak Transistor to Ploy. Not only is Nymph Pen-Ek’s first ghost movie, but also the only Thai film selected to be shown at Cannes this year. It’s an honor to be in this film.

I was surprised when Pen-Ek asked me to join the cast. My character is Korn, a businessman who has an affair with someone else’s wife. I don’t know why he felt I could play the character because I‘m nothing like him. I wouldn’t do the things he does; it’s immoral.

“If I am going to die soon, I won’t regret it because I got to be in your movie,” I told Pen-Ek. I mean, I have done many things, but I never thought that I would get a chance to meet Pen-Ek and star in his film. Also, who would have thought I would get a chance to eat somtam gai yang with Gybzy from Girly Berry, one of the biggest girl bands in Thailand. I even got to have some love scenes with her!

I play many sports. If I have free time, I love cruising along the Chao Phraya River in a speed boat. I also do yoga.

I love superbikes. I fell in love with them five or six years ago. Now I have three.

I am now just a part-time lecturer. I used to be a full-time professor for four years, though. But, due to all my other commitments, I think it’s better to do it part-time. Or maybe you should call me a free-time lecturer.

Sometimes my students are excited when they first see me. But I just tell them that we are all the same. We are all human. We just have different duties. That’s all. After that, they just see me as a normal person.

I usually set an agreement with my students before we begin the semester. I ask them one simple question: What kind of teacher don’t you like? Normally they say unfair teachers, who are too strict and get angry too easily. Then I ask them if they were a teacher, what kind of student wouldn’t they like? And they come up with a list of answers from being late to paying no attention in class. So then I say, let’s be fair, let’s all do our best to not have the kind of teacher and the kind of students we don’t like.

But if students don’t attend classes, I have the right to delete their names from the exam list.

Many guys don’t like me because of my character, my face, whatever. I find this kind of strange but it’s true. But I don’t really mind.

I don’t have self-confidence, but I do have a faith in what I do.

I try my best to be a role model for younger generations. I try to do everything as best as I can.

I used to see some people as my enemies, but now I think the real enemy is within me. How can you control your emotions? How can you get rid of the evil in your heart? I think this is a much more creative idea than to think of how you can destroy other people. Just think positive and act positive.

Being in this business is like buying a package tour. Once you buy it, you have to be ready to deal with everything that comes with it. And I’ve already accepted that. I’m OK with the good and the bad things that come with my career.

I want to become a monk. I can’t tell when exactly, though.

I’ll learn until I die. It’s my motto and it’s a fact. If you stop learning, you die.

Trust me, you don’t want to be like me. It’s a lot of work.
