i heard this from someone but don't know if it's true. in one of her interview, she said if she was born mix thai instead of mix laos, she would have been famous long time ago because of her talent. if that's true.. that's pretty mess up... is she saying this to kiss thai people's ass?? to have more incoming drama for her to be in it??
but who cares.. i never heard her music and did not have her album.. .. whether it's true or not.. i'll still watch the movie to support my people..

people that is OLD news.. it was claimed by thai reporter that she said that during the pattaya music festival.. she said that she did not say it and in an industry like this, people are always waiting to bring you down. She said that all she can do is be the best that she can be and continue doing what she believe is right and people will eventually see that she did not say those things. As you can see, she speaks nothing but laos in all her interview and she does a lot to help promote the lao culture.

yeah..it'd be pretty stupid of her to say something like that. she probably didn't say that. She's too musically talented to be stupid.

Bad news. This la korn won't air yet because Lao people are protesting about this la korn. so Thai and Lao people have to talk it through first. and we'll have to wait when they will air this la korn. that really sucks! i was waiting to watch it. i was all excited and now there are problems. *sigh* i'm so bumb out! i hope they would work it out soon and we will get to see this la korn.

Laos urges suspension of a Thai soap opera

Laos has urged Thai television channel 7 to suspend airing a soap opera, the first episode of which will on air tonight, because the Vientiane government deemed the love story a threat to Lao culture.

Vientiane has conveyed their concerns to the television executives through the Thai Foreign Ministry last week that the soap opera "Pleng Rak Song Fang Kong" (Love Song on the Bank of Mekong) contained many scenes deemed inappropriate and contradicting to Lao culture, said Lao foreign ministry's spokesman Yong Chanthalangsy.

"Laos Ministry of Information and Culture has seen the sample of the series and considered it could damage Lao norm and traditional culture," Yong said in a phone interview.

At the centre of dispute is the role played by the LaoBulgarian actress Alexandra Bounxuay, the romance series is the love story between a Thai and Lao young couple. To the Lao authorities, Champa, the lead character played by Alexandra, was deemed a bastard child as her mother was married to no man.

"It's against Lao culture to have a child without marriage," said an official at the Lao Embassy in Bangkok.

"Well, Thais might be okay with it but not for Laos," he said.

Champa is a tourist guide who developed a romantic relation with a Thai boyfriend. The pace of their relation was quick to hold on to her catch.

"It's misleading that Lao woman is such an easy woman," he added.

Dialogue in the series is also a dialect of no Lao community as many Thai stars including Sukolwat Kanaros are unable to speak Lao properly and fluently, he said.

"So if you cannot speak Lao, you shouldn't pretend you can and speak such an ugly accent of the language," the official said.

Another scene considered a humiliation to Laos is when Champa threw a white frangipani flower—which is national flower of Laos—into a dustbin.

"You might get angry with your boyfriend who hand you the flower but the national flower should not be thrown away in that manner," he said.

"Why didn't the producer use rose or the other kind, rather than our national flower?" he asked.

Producer Thongchai Prasongsanti from Workpoint Entertainment and Ch7 executives agreed to halt the series after a long meeting with Lao officials at the Lao embassy on Monday and would work with Vientiane to adjust the soap opera.

Thai television has heavy influent over Lao audience as people on the other side of the Mekong River could access to Thai network and enjoy all series.

Clashes on cultures between the two neighbours who share a lot of similarity was always seen in the media. The recent one was last year as Laos angry over a Thai comic movie Makteh (soccer), which portrayed Lao national soccer team in a jokingly manner.

wow..

"So if you cannot speak Lao, you shouldn't pretend you can and speak such an ugly accent of the language," the official said.
^ that part was a bit harsh..

"You might get angry with your boyfriend who hand you the flower but the national flower should not be thrown away in that manner," he said.
^ i do understand this part..

hmmm..maybe they can change it a little then air it?..i still want to see it..but then again, it might be too much work/money to re-shoot/re-write some scenes..

hopefully things turn out for the best..I was actually excited to see this lakorn because the n'ek wasn't Thai, I'm not Laos, but I do feel happy that for this Thai lakorn, the n'ek was a different race..it's just something different..
