Dark Complexion P'ek Ekarat Sarasuk Changed a Lot

 
Ekarat Sarasuk is another dark skinned leading actor who had faded from the entertainment industry for a very long time. According to recent pictures, he seems to have let himself go. Ek apears to live life normally like every other ordinary man. We hear from a distance that he owns a decoration business as well. Before, Ek has promoted many successful works from lakorns to movies such as Jan Dara, Ok Torranee, Tat Dao Bussaya, Raeng Ruk Raeng Rissaya, Faed Long Hon, Prayt Wat Sutat, and many more before he finished filming lakorn Buang Hong and decided to turn his back on the entertainment industry. Eventually, Ek gave an interview explaining his decision to leave behind his career as an actor. His reason was that he couldn't come to terms with playing any other role besides the leading man. This made popular news. Presently, Ek still has the same facial structure. He's still dark and handsome, not much had changed even though he has gotten a bit chubby. After seeing his photos, his latest fans will probably be happy and recover from missing him. They certainly miss him all right, but if he was to become fitter and in better shape, it's a guarantee that fans will come back to scream in awe.
 
          



 

 



 
OMG! I loved him in Ngao Asoke 1999. I've been searching for his recent pictures for ages. Thanks for sharing Gossipstar. He hasn't aged at all, just gained a bit of weight.

Turn Back the Hands of Time with the Public's Former Sweetheart Actress Ning Kullasatree

Our current entertainment industry has many new emerging faces each day. However, many still can't refrain themselves from speaking about former successful stars from the past, such as actress Ning Kullasatree who made her first debut in a music video back in 1994.  Afterwards, she made her first appearance onscreen in lakorn Pood Pitsawat for Ch.7 in 1995 with Touch Na Takuathung. It wasn't difficult for Ning to shine in her first role. Afterwards, she received continuous works along with movies and commercials for viewers to follow up on. In 1997, she received a Golden Doll award for "Outstanding Actress" and another special award for "Good Role Model" due to her efforts in promoting awareness against the use of drugs. Shortly afterwards, Ning eventually left the entertainment industry to pursue a career that she was passionate about. She became a full-time air hostess and still is presently. As for her beauty, she is still beautiful and has not really changed. Let's take a look.

I think his face looks the same but is just chubby. Though, Ning looks different to me. She looks happy so that's all that matter.

Talking about air hostess...Qatar Airways has some pretty ones. When I went to Bali a couple of weeks ago, they had some beautiful ones. I know I was staring at one of the girl cause her skin was like flawless. The only thing is, I think Qatar required them to wear heavy makeup. But nonetheless, they were pretty.

Agree that Ek still looks the same just that he's gained weight, I liked him in Ngao Asoke 1999 with Ae, they were a beautiful pair. Ning has aged a bit, but she is still beautiful, loved her in Ka Neung Ha with Pat and Rak Prakasit with Num.

Although they aren't of old generation, more mid generation, but I really don't like how Namfon, Pat, Yard and other actresses in a similar situation are being pushed by ch 3 while all these other newbies are taking up their spots. I hope they also won't fade away from the ent. Industry.they were my childhood

I don't think they'll fade ^^^ A majority of the people in this thread have chosen to leave. I think Yard, Pat, and Namfon will remain in the ET, not as n'ek though. They're already receiving rai roles. At least they are still evening n'eks. I don't like Ch.3 anymore because they push newbies too soon. Let them start off as supporting or wait until they finish high school at least.

I just hope them being neglectes by ch3 wont lead to any decisions thatll be regretful.
Most of the newbies don't even know how to act. Such small voices and very stiff, its dissapointing

I know exactly what you are talking about. Last time there was this gorgeous Flight Attendant on EVA air. I couldn't keep my eyes of her. LOL, creeper status.

I tried so hard not to notice but every time she walks by I kept on staring at her face.

Channel 3 will always have a bunch of newbies problem. They are eager to pushed them into a n'ek/pra'ek roles. They need to just take a breathing exercise and used what talent they have. I don't mind if they have the talent to do so but some are not even up to the job.

Do You Still Remember Handsome Leading Man Daxx Likit Ekmongkol?

 
Time had passed for many many years. Do people still remember the handsome actor Daxx Likit Ekmongol? He first entered the industry starring in lakorns. His first lakorn was Jod Maai Jak Meuang Thai (A Letter From Thailand). Afterwards, he entered a contest and won "Man of the Year" in 1984, which resulted in him receiving many works as a model. Likit then continuously received lakorn and movie offers until he decided to get into politics. He then returned to acting again and received the Golden Doll award for "Best Leading Actor" two times: once in 1987 and again in 1991. He then decided to put a halt to his acting career in order to treat shingles on his eyelid. After leaving the ET industry, Likit started his own business which centered around herbal supplements that enhance sexual performance. His business was quite successful. Presently, he spends his life teaching dharma as well. 
 
 

 
 

 
 





 
His supplements? Lol. 
 
I love my 80s actors! He's one of the actors I adore. His life outside of the ET is pretty weird though. A business in creating herbal supplements for sexual performance enhancement? Umm yeah. Haha.

Ch3 used to pride themselves in preseving aging nang'eks. It was always ch7 that would make their older nang'eks take rai or mom roles while they promote their young ones. Now it seems like the opposite.

If we were to speak about the most memorable p'ek in our hearts, many would think back to Sam Yuranan Pamonmonthri. He was every fan's favorite leading man. Sam entered the ET industry at 16 years old.  He has had over 200 successful works. His first work was Kampaeng Hua Jai. He then began starring in lakorns. Sam's first lakorn was Sawan Biang in 1988 with Ch.7. He was also a popular singer, singing all sorts of genres ranging from look toong and international songs. As for photoshoots, Sam was on every magazine cover on the book shelves. He spent 30 years in the ET industry before becoming a politician. Presently, Sam serves as the Thai/German transnational businessman. He also owns businesses that focus on health and beauty. As for his family life, Sam is happily married to his wife Muk Marisa and has one adorable daughter and son whose names are Mai and Mambo. His son looks no different from his father. Let's take a look at the p'ek who will forever remain our leading man so that we can stop missing him. Even though Sam is 52 years old, he still remains godly handsome.
 


 
 
 


 



 
 
Bringing it back to the 80s today. I love Sam! He's another one of my favorite veterans. Kids these days know nothing about good acting. These men were the best of the best in Thailand's entertainment history.

Do You Still Remember the Beloved N'ek Tui Monrudee?

 
People from today's generation will probably not recognize the name of former superstar actress Tui Monrudee Yamapai. However, people in their 30s and up will probably nod their heads and know who she is. Monrudee was a very famous actress back then. No matter which lakorn it was, if Monrudee's lakorn was to go on air, every other other lakorn will have to clear its path for hers. Some examples would be Dao Prasook, Sawan Biang, Baan Sai Tong, Nang Tard, and many others. As time passed, new coming actresses began to overshadow Monrudee, which lead her to fade away to become the producer of PD Production Yupakneung. Two years ago, Monrudee faced an incident that eventually lead her to file a police report. She was involved in a case where her friend filed a lawsuit against her ex-husband for forging important documents and embezzling 1,400 million baht by Tui Monrudee. Monrudee explained in an interview that she was threatened and was being stalked. After that, Monrundee disappeared from the news. Recently, we found out that Monrundee traveled to make merit and practice dharma at Wat Pa Baan Taat in Udon Thani. It appears that she has permanently turned her back on the ET industry.  
 

 
 
 

 
 
She was never that great of an actress to me. I found her boring. I liked Savitree more.

From Yesterday to Presently, Kwang Kamolchanok the Queen of Roles

 
If we were to speak about our former favorite actresses, we must remember sad face n'ek Kwang Kamolchanok whose personality was well-mannered and soft-spoken.  However, do not underestimate her as actress because her skilled performances excelled beyond her personality. Kwang entered the entertainment industry in 1986. She starred in Heng Dai Heng Dee Rak Nee with the young singer Amporn Lampoon. Afterwards, she received continuous works for viewers to tune into. Her most prominent work was her role as Angsumalin from lakorn Koo Kum (1990). There after was her role as Nian in Aya Ruk (2003). For the role, Kwang was able to exude piercing emotions through her eyes that resulted in her receiving similar dramatic roles and pitiful characters in the future.
 
After that, Kwang disappeared shortly from the ET industry after getting married to fulfill her duties as a wife and mother. She then returned and accepted roles that shifted away from ones she normally played. That role was Peekhun, the antagonist of lakorn Buang Leh Sanaeha (2003) and Banyen from lakorn Sai Soke. Her return proved to people that she was a skilled actress who can play many different roles. It didn't matter whether the role was good or bad, or even the role of a mother, Kwang was a gem in the ET. She also received an award for her quality acting.
 
Presently, Kwang Kamolchanok doesn't have many future works for us to view together because she's currently working on producing a new lakorn that will focus on reestablishing society. She will be helping her husband Nott Nuti Khemayotin. However, she will gladly accept roles that interest her, even though there aren't any signs of her having future works lined up for her. We can still follow her work by tuning into the lakorn that she is in the process of producing. She will use the experience she has gained from the ET industry for these past several years.
