Drugs pay off - once you quit
More solid evidence that everything's going great with Seksan "Sek Loso" Sukpimai's drug-and-drink rehabilitation, which is sounding more like a victory lap every day.
As Soopsip reported earlier, he’s pocketing Bt15 million from a slew of concerts extending into June, although his ex-wife Wipakorn “Karn” Sukpimai tells Thai Rath Online it “isn’t much”. “It’s the old rate of Bt250,000 per show, just below BodySlam’s Bt280,000.”
More importantly, his ex-wife isn’t going to be his ex-wife much longer. Karn says they’re going to remarry. When? “We’re going to Japan first, and then we’ll re-register our marriage,” she says.
The glory shared
Viewers at the recent Okinawa International Movie Festival chose “SuckSeed”, directed by Chaiyanop “Moo” Boonprakop, as their favourite comedy. The trophy came wrapped in 2.5 million yen – that’s about Bt900,000.
Party time! No, wait: Moo and his crew want to donate the money to good causes. Moo is giving Bt150,000 to the Mirror Foundation, where he was once a volunteer teacher.
Now he’s open for suggestions as to which other organisations that work with children deserve the rest. If you know a worthy recipient, let him know through movie studio GTH.
Je Da su-su
For a former jet setter, Daranee “Je Da” kritboonyalai has a pretty low profile in Thailand, mostly because of the red shirt she proudly wears. Je Da fled in 2010, then returned to face the cops, then took off to the US, where she still enjoys celebrity status.
Red-shirt supporters in the States flocked to her stage show “Su Pai Suay Pai” (“Fighting and Being Pretty”) in Los Angeles and Chicago and more cities were lined up. Then Je Da took a tumble down some stairs after the Chicago gig – nothing serious, but the Houston and San Francisco events were cancelled.
She says she’ll be back onstage soon, though, since there’s nothing happening in Thailand. Well, she certainly wouldn’t be able to attend all the Bangkok hi-so functions. Best stay where she’s more welcome.
