After the leading actress Naw Tisanat Sorsuek disappeared from the entertainment scene to study baking in Australia, she has now returned to acting with the Thai-Malaysian horror film “Kam Ma We Ka The De4d Echoes.” She recently attended the film’s launch event at SF World Cinema, CentralWorld. Reporters took the opportunity to ask about her return to acting after Australia, as well as an update on her sweet relationship with actor New Wongsakorn Pramattakorn with whom she has been dating for over 13 years.
How is this film after returning to Thailand?
“This should be my first film, because the first project after returning was a Club Friday series, and this is my first movie.”
How long have you been back?
“Quite a while. I’ve been happy to accept work that comes my way. For example, Club Friday only required 7 days of filming, and this film only took 4 days. I’m glad that senior industry figures still remember me, since I was away for about two years.”
Do you miss acting?
“I do miss it. But as I’ve said before, I like baking, so I took time away from entertainment to focus seriously on that. I lost a bit of confidence because I was gone so long. Since this project’s filming was short, I thought it would be a good way to try returning and test the waters a bit.”
Did it take long to shake off the rust?
“A bit. Like I said, I lost some confidence because I hadn’t worked in entertainment for a while and hadn’t done any content creation either.”
How is life over there?
“I really like life there. I love everything about how I live there and get to do what I want—going places, eating, being alone. I enjoy traveling and eating alone; it makes me very happy.”
Do you feel lonely?
“Not at all. I still have Thai friends and international friends, so I’m not lonely. (Does New Wongsakorn visit often?) He visits whenever he has free time and doesn’t let me be bored or have too much time on my own. Just kidding, I’m happy he comes.”
How do you manage your time?
“I’m usually the most free in my Thai friend group. I have only a few days of classes, while friends work every day. I have about three free days a week. During school breaks, I don’t do much, so he comes to visit then. I plan trips for when New comes, deciding where to go. He tells me I don’t have to come back because he wants to travel.”
Do you have any plans?
“My plan after returning is to open a shop. My dream is to open a café, and I’ve already started moving toward that by taking pre-orders for homemade desserts at home on a small scale.”
When do you plan to open the shop?
“I have plans, but due to the economy and work situations, I haven’t planned a serious opening yet since it requires a lot of capital. Since I still have acting work, I can’t fully focus on that yet. Baking is my passion.”
Have you talked with New about this?
“Yes, while I was in Australia, I told him I want to open seriously. I’m very passionate. We talked about setting up a kitchen at my house, and he said he would help.”
Are you interested in joining booths at events?
“I’ve been contacted, but I’ve had to decline because I’m doing it alone. I don’t have help and couldn’t manage it without assistance.”
Asked about the drama “Sane Nang”?
“P'Ae contacted me before to learn for the role, but it didn’t continue and the project was paused. Now P'Ae (Supachai) has restarted it and really reached out again. For details about timing or confirmation, it’s better to hear from P'Ae himself. I only know this much.”
So are you available for any offers now?
“I’m free. I’m only doing baking and not much else. I’m watching timing and opportunities, but I’m very happy baking at home.”
How is your 13th anniversary with New?
“It’s the same as always. New has been consistent since the first day he came to me. He’s the same person with no promotions or flashy moments. He has taken good care of me for 13 years. We’ve talked about the future and marriage, but we’re not serious about when. We agree that one day we’ll have a small ceremony. New feels the same; we’ve talked about it throughout these 13 years and still stand by that.”
Many say 13 years is a long time?
“That’s good if we’re okay with the feelings and both families are fine. Marriage isn’t just about finding the right person; sometimes marriages end. (Any family pressure?) None at all.”
Are you serious about living together before marriage?
“I don’t think much about living together before marriage. I don’t do everything according to traditional customs, but my mother and family know and have no objections.”
Do you think he will surprise you?
“No, I don’t think so. If he were going to, he’d know I’m ready. We’d have to talk about it first. Honestly, we hardly discuss it. Some might say, ‘You’ve been together so long, why hasn’t he proposed? The woman’s reputation is at stake.’ He has never disrespected me. He has honored me from day one and done everything my mother and family want from a man caring for their daughter. I can say this confidently. I see comments about women’s reputations being harmed, but if he treats me well today, he will tomorrow and every day. I don’t think marriage is the only measure of love.”
