Kid's can be annoying sometimes, don't you agree? While poor old Worathep considers himself fortunate to grab a quick pic with the occassional world-class journo or a sweaty, after-show stand up comedian, Thep Jr has to fight off the celebrities with a stick. Here's the son and heir receiving the attention of the girls from the Thai TV show Poo Ying Tung Poo Ying (Women Meet Women). I often ask myself how he does it. Surely it can't be that suit? Anyway, don't forget to introduce your old dad next time son ...
THE BEEB'S MAN IN BKK
Intelligent, charming, witty, well-educated, well-travelled, dedicated, daring, compassionate, suave, sophisticated, interesting ... okay, that's enough about Worathep. Jonathan Head was quite a nice guy too 5555 - Only Joking Jon, nice to meet you. Hope you enjoy THE INTERVIEW
FUNNY NIGHT
Okay, so even worathep can get a bit starstruck at times.
Here's me with my old mate Udom "Nose" Taepanich after we not only managed to blagg tickets for his sold out show, Dieow 7, at the Scala Theatre in Bangkok, but also managed to walk past the sleeping security man, who'd obviously seen the show too many times, for this photo opportunity.
Nose is Thailand's only stand-up comedian in the western sense, basically one man and a microphone. In this series of concerts - 39 sold out shows in total - Nose kept full houses entertained for almost three hours every night. Not only is this guy funny, he's obviously got a smart business head on his shoulders. I bet he can't wait to start building the new house up in Chiang Mai. I hope I can blagg an invitation ot the house-warming party :)
Anyway Nose, thanks for the tickets, I hope you weren't serious about getting me to help dig the foundations.
WHAT A BABE
Of course, I'm talking about Worathep Jr, pictured here with me and my dream woman: sexy, naughty, bitchy Tata Young. It was a bit of smart work on Thep Jr's part that scored us this crafty photo op in the first place.
We were just kind of hanging out at Channel 3, as you do, when the diva walked in. I don't mind admitting, I was speechless. Fortunately Thep Jr has the balls in the family and simply walked up to her and asked for a picture. "Just a minute sweety," she purred, finishing her phonecall before coming over to make a small boy's dream come true. Thep Jr was pretty happy too.
She touched my hand and asked me if everything was alright. I can't remember what I stammered, just that I sounded like a machine gun. She was just too cool.
The boy and I were in pieces by the time we got home. Mrs Worathep asked us what was wrong.
"Tata Young just touched my hand," I swooned.
"Yeah, and she called me sweety," gushed Thep Jr.
"Oh right," answered Mrs Worathep, turning her attention back to the soap opera on the telly.
WHITE JEANS EH, MR WORATHEP?
He gets one chance to be this close to Paula Taylor - one of the smartest, loveliest media jock in town and a definite shining star for 2010 - and Worathep turns up looking like a throwback to the 80's in white jeans. READ THE INTERVIEW
THE BIG WIG
Dr. Pornthip Rojanasunand - the head of "CSI" Thailand. And no ... it's not a wig.
