After the comedy industry lost the talented comedian Neng Meng Jai, aged 47, who was praised by colleagues as a determined and grateful person, suddenly at around 10:30 a.m. today (19 Mar 2026), Ball Chuenyim traveled to Ban Phaeo Hospital (Public Organization), Somdet Ya Building, 2nd floor, Internal Medicine Room 1–2, to receive Neng's body for traditional funeral rites. His wife, father, mother, relatives, and friends were already gathered there.
When Ball Chuenyim arrived, he entered the patient room but was unable to speak, still unable to accept the loss. He had red eyes from crying, as did Neng's family, who were also struggling to come to terms with the sudden passing of Neng, their family head.
Yen Scorpion, a fellow comedian, told reporters briefly that Neng Meng Jai's body will be brought to Wat Klang Khlong Si, Lat Sawai Subdistrict, Pathum Thani Province, for the funeral rites, as coordinated by Ball with the temple. He added that upon hearing of Neng’s death this morning, it was hard to believe at first, but after confirming with the family, it was true and shocking. Friends rushed to the hospital immediately upon hearing the news.
Relatives of Neng’s wife shared that Neng usually lived in Pathum Thani Province but had traveled to his wife's home in Nakhon Chai Si District, Nakhon Pathom Province, the day before. That night, he experienced chest tightness and vomiting, prompting them to rush him to Ban Phaeo Hospital under his health coverage (Gold Card). He passed away peacefully this morning. Generally, Neng was a quiet person and did not talk much when at home, so it was unclear if he was aware of his illness before his passing.
