Haha. I may be one of them because when I saw her for the first time I really thought she was full Thai. Until no makeup came along and I read her bio...I realized she's actual mixed. Hehe. There's rarely any full Thai actresses huh. I can't name anyone (younger generation) I know, who's pure Thai.Mahalo said:
You can tell by his skin tone and features. He really looks Thai. Es Kantapong is full Thai too and he looks similar to Phet. But they both have chinky eyes so there may be a slight mix of Chinese ancestry some where. Thai's migrated from China so of course they'd have some Chinese in them. That's why Thai is a tonal language like Chinese Mandarin with five tones. They're the closest pure Thai looking actors you'd see now and days.janajelly1 said:
A lot of pure Thai's have thick hair which includes thick eyebrows. Lol. Back in the day, there used to be many full Thai actors. Now, the mixed actors are taking over so you rarely see them. Many are pushed to supporting roles since the industry prefers actors with lighter complexions.When Benz played Angsumalin in Koo Kum with Num, people complained that she was too dark. However, Koo Kum is based on a Thai novel about a Japanese soldier who fell in love with a Thai woman. Benz is pure Thai so she fits the role well. The Asian culture just finds lighter complexions more attractive.janajelly1 said:
I never paid any attention to Phet until I watched his movie "First Kiss" w/Rotmay. Gahh his smiles and dimples are to tai for hehe He's on my watch list now and I can't stop staring at him in Dao Kiang Deun ^^ If I were to choose, I pick the full Thai actors over the halfies. Not that I have anything against the ones who are mixed lolphatman said:
I just noticed that a majority of the full Thai actors are from Ch.7. That's a shocker. Lol. If anything Ch.7 ever does right is promote pure Thai stars and not ban kisses. Haha. Honestly, I feel the same Phatman! I'm more attracted to Ch.7's actors because their p'eks are pretty manly looking. However, their acting is horrible in comparison to Ch.3's actors. In contrast, Ch.3's actors are boyish and scrawny looking, but as long as their acting is up to par, it's okay. I guess that's why I can only watch Ken T., Willy, Chakrit, Tik, Smart, Aum, and Rome from Ch.3 because they're the manliest looking ones whose acting is above average with an exception of Mart. Haha. I gotta add Peter to the list now also.phatman said:
But it has nothing to do with them being halfies. Their acting abilities are really phenomenal.

@mahalo;
I want Phet to get pushed as a praek too. He deserves it
Back on topic;
One of the supporting actress in here who I think plays as Bella's friend is sooo lucky. She receives so much kisses on her cheeks from Aum ! Hrmph. lol

As for Es, I recommended Bodyguard Sao to you before. He plays with Sammy, my other favorite actress who's ironically luk krueng. It's subbed on YouTube btw. Sammy's in the lead for outstanding actress of this generation. I put her up there with Anne and Matt. Unfortunately, my three favorite Thai actresses are luk krueng
I don't really care if an actor is mixed or not. I love them both pure and mixed. There's nothing wrong with diversity. However, I just feel that they should also give pure Thai actors a chance because they're brainwashing the Thai pop culture into thinking that only mixed is beautiful. I don't mind watching a Willy or Bee Bandit on screen, but sometimes I also want me a Phet Thakrit or Patson Sarindu. Lol. I haven't watched any of Phet's dramas but got a glimpse of him in DKD2. He is handsome and has the body and everything Phatman! His acting is pretty good also. I really hope that he becomes prime time p'ek soon Ip.Smilez!
Who's Pop T? Lol. Pope? I'd have to disagree with you about the Ch.7 actresses being prettier. Lol. Right now, Ch.3 definitely dominates in that department. All of Ch.7's actresses are average looking. As for Bodyguard Sao, it gets good 3 episodes in. Episode one is introduction so it's a bit slow. It's so good though. Plot's well-written and there's good character development for each character. Arnus is in there also as a good guy.phatman said:

I've become both a CH.3 and CH.7 watcher lately. I still am loyal to Ch.3, but I've been discovering new favorites from CH.7. Most of them are guys though. For Ch.7, I've skipped a lot of their lakorns because their actresses are average looking. Honestly, the only pretty ones are Mai Davika, Kwan Usamanee, Sammy Punthita, Jakjaan, and Green Atsadaporn. Half of those actresses I just named don't even get lead roles. Haha. Ch.7 likes to look past real talent and promote no goods. I find a lot of Ch.3 actresses both strikingly beautiful and naturally beautiful. They're more tolerable in both the looks department and acting wise compared to Ch.7. For Ch.7, we always see Aump, Poo, Pancake, Preaw, Now, Cheer, and the beauty queens turned actresses.phatman said:
This Denkhun Ngamnet is simply gorgeous. I prefer Aum's body, but he's smexy too! Yum, yum. Totally looking forward to this lakorn now. JUST to SEE two HOT MEN...shirtless. :ghehe:
