It can be said that this is an enviable life for “Mew Nittha” who recently appeared on the talk show "Kui Zab Show" on One 31 channel. No matter the six years of marriage with her husband, Saint Tharaphuch Kuhapremkit, their love has never faded but only grown sweeter. Especially with their twins, Marin and Makin, completing their family to the point that viewers at home smile along. Additionally, her latest work "Deadline of Deception" is currently ranked number one in Thailand and globally. Truly an enviable life.
Can you update us on the development of your two little ones, “Marin and Makin”?
“Actually, we conceived them in separate pregnancies, even though people say the twins look like real twins. When they play together and I watch, I still feel they look alike. Marin, at four years old, is growing fast. Recently she learned to ride a two-wheeler bike because she asked her teacher after seeing older kids ride. She simply succeeded. She’s becoming her own person with likes and dislikes. She prefers dresses and loves concerts. Her first concert was of Toon Bodyslam when she was only three years old. At first, she was startled by the loud sound but soon enjoyed dancing a lot. Currently, she especially likes P’Billkin.”
Have you ever thought about wanting your children to enter the entertainment industry?
“Not at all. For singing or dancing, which they enjoy, we see those as hobbies or special talents. If asked whether I want them to follow my footsteps, I’m indifferent. I don’t expect my children to follow me; they might pursue something else entirely.”
But I heard they are very adventurous?
“Very adventurous, even more than me. Recently, they got vaccinated and neither cried. Normally, children get shots in the buttocks, but Marin asked to get it in her arm, showing great courage. Makin didn’t cry at all either. He rarely cries. They’re not afraid of reptiles; at the zoo, they can touch non-venomous snakes. I don’t like geckos, but they catch them. However, they do avoid tokay geckos. As for being mischievous, I think that comes from their father. Marin can be cheeky, like poking my bottom as she walks by (laughs) and teasing me.”
I heard the younger one, though only two years old, already has his own mind?
“Makin likes cars and even recognizes car brands and logos, which surprises me. He copies his sister; whatever she does, he imitates. He’s very attached to his sister. When she returns from school, he runs to hug her. Sometimes when we have to take the older child somewhere, he wants to come along, so we have to carry him. I think he’ll start school at age three. Also, I’m very attached to my kids because if it’s just the two of us, the house feels quiet.”
How do you raise your children at home?
“We teach both of them to help themselves. We show them how to squeeze orange juice, make desserts, or sometimes wash dishes. We give them stars as rewards for good behavior. We do it occasionally. As for how quickly they learn, I think it’s appropriate for their age. We encourage them to be independent, like bathing themselves while we supervise. Sometimes the older sister even bathes her little brother, and she does it well.”
Now that both kids are going to school, do you plan to have a third?
“I don’t think so. We planned for two from the start, but there’s about a 10% chance of a third after these two grow up somewhat. The remaining 10% is because we enjoy having children and a lively home. But for now, two is just right — one holding one hand on the left, the other on the right.”
Between Toey and Mint, who do you think will have good news first?
“I don’t see Toey much since she’s often abroad. She’s in love and very happy. The hardest to arrange a meeting with is Mat, followed by Toey. But I don’t know who between Toey and Mint will have good news first. I hope both will have happy news soon because Toey is deeply in love.”
Can you tell us about your married life?
“We’ve been married for six years. When asked how we keep the romance alive, we go on trips alone, leaving the kids with their grandmother. As for Saint, he has many sides. When working, he’s all business; at home, he’s playful and mischievous. Is he funny? I think so — he’s funny in a family way with his playful side.”
Is life different before and after marriage?
“I feel everything has improved since marriage, and since having the twins, life has become even more complete. Before the twins, our married life was sweet and happy in its own way. But with children, it’s like smiling inside all the time — very happy. Looking at the two of them, I smile constantly. We hardly argue. Is it tiring to have kids? Definitely more tiring, but it’s a worthwhile tiredness. We also give each other space, understand each other, and communicate a lot. Good communication makes a good marriage for both.”
Do you have to ask your husband before accepting acting roles?
“For acting, I decide myself but inform him about the offers and ask for his opinion. He gives me the freedom to make my own decisions. For example, my latest project, "Deadline of Deception," is now number one on Netflix in Thailand and internationally, which made me very happy. It topped Thailand’s charts in less than 24 hours, which surprised me. I’m proud that our Thai film reached number one globally. I had taken a three-year break from acting, and the hardest part was during the workshop phase, tuning into the character. I returned to acting for this project because it involves scammers, a topic that can affect anyone regardless of nationality. The team did thorough research and fieldwork, gathering deep insights. When I first talked with the team, I was angry because I learned things I’d never seen in the news. I understand many are hoping for a second season, and I’m hoping too.”
Now that you’re back in action, will you accept more acting roles?
“For me, I will definitely accept more if the roles are interesting.”
