Asanai Takes on New Challenging Role as MV Lead and Racing Team Member

He has risen as the "MV lead" with over 100,000 views for the song "Countdown Jeab Kwa Derm" by new singer Ae Elisha under Time Lives Music. The cheerful actor Asanai Tekasawong did not miss bringing the YEDKAE TEAM racers to the press conference launching Ae Elisha's MV on Tuesday, 6 Jan 2026, at YACHT CLUB, Hathairat Road.

The whole team came out in full force, introducing senior driver Off Hathai Chaiyawan, who has won trophies at nearly every race, honored to lead the team. Off recognized Asanai's dedication and determination to build skilled and quality racers under the YEDKAE TEAM banner to shine in the racing community.


Previously, Asanai built a memorable entertainment career, from childhood comedic roles with his father (Luang Por Mom Yin), to starring in many dramas, performing concerts, and releasing singles such as "Forgot to Do Important Things," "Sink," and "Everything is Too Late." His latest film "Pop Dib Dib" also saw him co-directing comedy with Joey Ghana Chernyim and Louis Chuan Chuen.

Additionally, Asanai possesses considerable driving skills but continues to train to advance further, seeing great potential ahead. Having a background as a former racer, though not seriously before, he believes with more focus he could reach the heights of Off's successful trainees.

This year, Off Hathai is committed to developing YEDKAE TEAM racers into motorsport champions like many successful veterans. Off, Asanai, and Joey Ghana will compete in "Endurance" races, which test the stamina of both "cars" and "drivers" over laps and distances aiming for top victories this upcoming season, along with other race types. It will be interesting to see who Off selects among Xyedkae, Leoyedkae, Austinyedkae, Denchai, Um, and Joey Ghana for which categories.


Denchai Chainat, or Chawalit Nakthap, is a charismatic, friendly racer well-liked by all teams and ages. Having just won first place in the TOYO TIRES EXPLORAR RACING CAR THAILAND 2025 C65 Open class in Uttaradit, he runs a design and construction business for homes and factories. A native of Chainat and motorsport enthusiast, he is beloved by spectators, fellow racers, and event organizers alike. He was invited into the entertainment industry by his senior friend Xyedkae, an actor on Channel 7HD.

Um Panithan Rakpaibulsombat, a 17-year-old rising star, started racing at age 10 under the guidance of his father, Toom, a top drifter in Thailand. His aggressive and bold driving style has earned him multiple championships and attention domestically and abroad. Tall at 190 cm with good looks inherited from his father’s youth, Um is an overseas-educated student now racing under Off Hathai’s YEDKAE team alongside senior Xyedkae. Asanai invited Um to the "Pop Dib Dib" film press conference, attracting talent scouts interested in casting him in dramas, music videos, and modeling. Um is now exploring entertainment work.

Recently, YEDKAE TEAM added a special racer from Ghana nicknamed "Walking Mosquito." Let’s see whether the mosquito or the car is faster, and which events Off Hathai will enter him in. Please follow Joey Ghana of YEDKAE TEAM.

For the next season, please look out for Leo Chayanop returning to race in the TOYO TIRES EXPLORAR RACING CAR THAILAND 2026. Support Leo, who now also has entertainment projects and will soon be a brand ambassador for motor oil. Stay tuned!
