After a long hiatus, the former president of the National Comedy Association of Thailand is back with his second feature, Kon Bai The Movie, which is inspired by his popular long-running TV series Kon Bai Klai Kread.
Kon Bai Klai Kread or Kon Bai The Movie—which was more difficult?
I have been directing a TV comedy series for 16 years and I know how it works, so when I got to direct a comedy film, it wasn’t that difficult. But still, directing a film means more responsibility. I must be the leader; I must control all the things that might happen on the set. I have to do everything very carefully.
Tell us more about your movie.
It’s a romantic comedy with a crew of comedians. I chose Aof AF2 to be the lead actor because he is a winner of Academy Fantasia and my daughter and I are fans of his.
What do you expect from the film?
I’ve done my job; now, I don’t expect anything. It’s up to the viewers. They are the best referees. After they watch the movie, they can determine whether it is funny and whether it has something different from other films.
