Maybe too much sex education
Play
TV host Ketsepsawat "Na Nake" Palagawonge Na Ayutthaya got kayoed as a boxing commentator, but he knows about sex, and he's going to tell teenagers all about it.
Na Nake is one of 14 celebrities writing a column about sex for Thai Rath’s online edition. He says he has more than 230,000 followers on Twitter, most of them teens.
“I guess all they want is straightforward talk with some gimmicks in it,” he says, whereas the sex education offered by Thai Health Promotion is about as useful as the official flood updates.
How straightforward is Na Nake? Thai Rath came right out and asked him when was the last time he had sex. “Just a few days ago,” he replied a bit too cheerfully, “and with two people!”
Tune in when his column debuts on Friday. Maybe he’ll provide the details.
Seoul mate
Nichkhun “Buck” Horvejkul, the Thai in the South Korea-based boy band 2PM, has been tweeting sympathetic words home from Seoul.
He explained yesterday to his cosmopolitan flock of 780,000-plus followers that he’s been tweeting in Thai more than usual lately because of the flooding here.
In fact, 2PM recently donated Bt4 million to help Thai flood victims. But Buck feels he should be doing more to show his gratitude towards the motherland, “since I’m not physically there”.
So now his twittering is mostly flood-related re-tweets of useful information, such as where help is needed and when there’s a blood clinic.
Fellow singer Jetrin “Jay” Wattanasin, who’s currently leading the celebrity flood-relief effort in Bangkok, thanked Buck personally via Twitter. “We’re so glad we could help,” Buck replied, “and if you call my manager he might spare me the time to go on rescue mission with you!”
Maybe it’s just as well if Buck and the rest of his sexy sextet stay in South Korea. If they came here hoping to help out, there’d probably be such a flood of fans that they’d double the traffic chaos.
