Journey of becoming ‘Sorn’ (2)
Another challenge in becoming ‘Sorn’ was understanding the nature of the job as a sex worker, including performing stripper dances. I would say I was very worried because, before starting workshops, my dancing skill was horrible. My body felt like a rigid stone. The dance required a sensual, smooth, and sexy feeling which was a tough task. However, I had to make it work. Even though the some parts of dance scenes were eventually edited out of the film, it was still a challenging and enjoyable experience from which I learned a lot.
A big thanks to P’Kage, or ‘Madam M,’ who was my acting coach. He guided me and helped transform me into ‘Sorn’ in every aspect. He gradually simplified my inner self, embraced the essence of ‘Sorn,’ and helped me move away from unnecessary complexities. Additionally, P’Kage was the one who taught me to dance from day one, enabling me to evolve from a rigid state to becoming more fluid and expressive. Also thanks to P’Chanan, who designed the choreography for Sorn’s show. We rehearsed, and he gave me guidance before the actual shoot.
Another group deserving appreciation is the costume designer team P’Atta, P’Beau, and P’Eye, who consistently created outfits that enhanced my connection with ‘Sorn,’ especially during dance rehearsals. They were a supportive team as always. 🫶🏽
Lastly, a special thanks to P’Tata for taking me on a real-life research journey, allowing me to explore and experience the atmosphere and speak with those in the profession. It helped me a lot to understand their perspectives and hearts as someone in this job and as a fellow human being.
From the first day as a ‘stone’ to the actual stage rehearsals and filming days, there were so many changes. Thanks to everyone involved for making it possible for me to convey this as ‘Sorn.’ ⛰️🕺🏻❤️

Journey of becoming ‘Sorn’ (1)
Since I knew I’d be portraying ‘Sorn’ in DOI BOY, I had about a month and a half for preparation. One of my big concerns was speaking Shan and adjusting my Thai accent to sound like Shan people speaking Thai.
At that time, I watched videos of Shan YouTuber living in Chiang Mai every day. I tried to listen, speak, and understand which muscles to use when speaking with this accent. As I became more accustomed to it, I rehearsed Sorn’s dialogues, incorporating this accent as much as possible into my daily life. Huge thanks to the JAY CBL channel.
For practicing the Shan language, special thanks to ‘P’Kai’ or ‘Yoon,’ my language coach. He recorded voice memos for every scene that I had to speak Shan. I would then dissect each word from his recordings, practicing continuously. Whenever P’Kai had time, he would call to help me rehearse and correct my pronunciation, from the preparation phase until the shooting day. Without P’Kai, it would have been incredibly challenging and nearly impossible. Thank you so much, bro. ❤️🥹

Thank you @marieclairekorea once again for this ‘Rising Star’ Award🖤
“This award means a lot to me as an actor. I would like to thank the people who have supported me from the very first day. I would like to thank my director, producers, fellow actors, and every department for making this film a reality and courageously bringing up such sensitive topics in Thailand.
My journey as an actor has not been easy. There were many times that I almost gave up. However, thanks to the film ‘DOI BOY’ which was selected and screened in Busan International Film Festival and this award, it made me realize how much I love being an actor. In this film, I played as an undocumented immigrant, a sex worker, and a marginalized Shan person.
I hope everyone who watches this film will pay attention to their story and advocate for their equality as fellow human beings. I believe that cinema has the power to create change. Let’s continue to do it together.”
Stay tuned on November 24th, only on Netflix.
