Sek Loso's done being an issue

He’s not only booze- and drug-free now, he’s performing live again. With his rehabilitation continuing, Sek was onstage for the first time in a long time last week at the Rong Lao Saeng Chang club on Kingkaew Road.
GMM Grammy – which tore up his contract late last year when he refused to admit he had an increasingly violent problem – couldn’t be happier. Boss Paiboon Damrongchaitham says the label is ready to welcome him back, and no hard feelings.
“I haven’t met him lately, but during his rehab he came and apologised. We didn’t take it seriously because we knew he was under the influence,” but if the fans can forgive Sek, then Grammy will too.
As far as the fans are concerned, there’s no “if”. Sek is fully booked with gigs until June, around 20 nights a month and an estimated take of Bt15 million.
Last week’s show was packed. Sek was quite excited to be back, but admitted he hadn’t had much time to rehearse. He told the crowd honestly that his performance might not yet be 100 per cent. Under the circumstances, much less is still welcome.

Ambassadorship

Procter & Gamble Trading (Thailand) hit the jackpot getting former Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun onstage for a speech at its recent anniversary bash called “25 Years of Beautiful Life in Thailand” at the Plaza Athenee.
Turns out that Anand was a good customer for a long time.
Part of his two decades in the foreign service was spent as ambassador to both the US and the United Nations, which added up to 12 years in New York. “While I was there I was a fan of Head & Shoulders anti-dandruff shampoo,” Anand told the company that makes the stuff.
Lest anyone think Anand will soon be appearing in TV commercials, he admitted later with a grin that, due to his thinner hair now, he uses someone else’s shampoo.
