After the drama between mother and son, Mr. Napat and Mother Moo Pimpa, where the son publicly revealed their relationship had been cut off for a long time since the last press conference, essentially severed, and that he wanted to move on with his life, Ko Teerasak, a junior and close friend of Moo Pimpa for over 10 years, posted a message to encourage her.
Recently, Ko Teerasak gave an interview to Thairath Entertainment about this issue, saying,
"What would you like to say to encourage Moo Pimpa, since you knew about this beforehand?"
"I have to say that my previous post was faster with my hands than my brain because I saw a friend trapped in sadness, and no one was able to pull her out. I wanted to help her escape that place and be happy, to go on with life. Also, to clarify some misunderstandings and support her, so I posted."
"Yesterday, Facebook showed me old photos with Moo Pimpa, and I planned to send them to her because they were beautiful. But then I saw the interview news and felt heartbroken, like raising a grandchild who doesn't love you — that's how I felt."
"I've known Moo Pimpa for over 30 years, growing up together in the 90s. I know everything — we've traveled abroad through forests and rivers, witnessed everything from childhood to adulthood, her pageant days, family life, the drama of running with her child from gunfire, clearing issues, raising her child — every moment."
"So anyone saying 'It's none of your business, don't get involved, it's my issue' — at that time, it was my friend's issue. She's quite reserved, almost like she had mild depression. I've seen people about to speak but tears fall, and sometimes you can only watch and offer support. I didn't expect the interview to go that way."
"I believe Moo Pimpa has seen it all. I want to tell her that if no one protects her, Ko Teerasak will protect her. Anyone who insults her can insult me instead—I will respond. Sometimes silence doesn't mean good conquers evil; we have to speak the truth. No one is right or wrong; no one understands us like we and our family do."
"But sometimes, posting makes me reminisce about the past because people judge by the present moment. That's why I posted to encourage Moo Pimpa. I want to tell her to come to Bangkok, meet friends and society, return to the entertainment industry she loves, or revive the business she once succeeded in. We're here to support her."
So, Ko has been aware of and supporting Moo Pimpa throughout the past two years?
"Actually, friends and Moo Pimpa have shared their stories with each other, so I know everything but only from one side. I don't know the other side. Friends tell me how things are. In the end, it's their business, not mine, but I support her in every way. When I heard about the cutting ties, it felt like a child cutting off their mother, but a mother can't cut off her child."
"The pain of one woman: I went to Khao Yai two years ago, and she cried so much she had no tears left. She was alone with the temple and Buddhism, trying to calm herself by focusing on cacti and doing other things to pass time. I felt this is the natural law: meeting and parting is normal. No life is like a fairy tale, but everyone must heal their own heart."
"At the same time, I feel Moo Pimpa has no one to heal her, only people who criticize her as a bad mother. Honestly, she loves her child deeply. Have you ever seen her speak about it? She never does. No matter how hurt she is, she keeps it inside. Even if people insult her to the point she loses work, she still looks up and thinks of her child in heaven. That's the Moo Pimpa I know. I'm not saying who's right or wrong, but there must be reasons for their separation."
"Ultimately, knowing both Napat and Moo Pimpa, I just wish the past could return. Son, your mother fled bullets for you. If the bullet had hit anyone, this wouldn't have happened."
"To get where they are today, Moo Pimpa focused on her child attending a good school and speaking English well, even without money and few jobs. She pushed her child to play sports and be the best, begging sponsors and elders. Back then, Napat was incredibly lovely, mature beyond his years, protective of his mother."
"Moo Pimpa seems to have few relatives. Her life is just her and Napat, a family of two. If one day they stop talking, she has no one else."
Who does Moo Pimpa live with in Khao Yai?
"Alone. She lives alone, rarely seen with a housekeeper, living a life guided by Buddhism with Buddha statues around."
How does she cover household expenses?
"She pays for them herself. No need to worry about money because she works. During Napat's peak success, money was abundant. Moo Pimpa is very strategic—she managed to make her superstar successful. Sometimes friends feel she should spend more time with them, but she focuses on her child."
From your observation, is this all because of her deep love for her child? Some say she's overly controlling about her child's love life?
"Being controlling varies per person. If you look closely, her controlling nature stems from wanting the best for her child. Everyone is different. Over time, when someone is very successful, I admire Moo Pimpa's dedication, like always following with a camera. I won't discuss personal matters, but ultimately, a mother and child cannot truly cut ties."
"But when the child publicly cuts ties with the mother, it hurts deeply. I believe no one defends Moo Pimpa because she has few friends. When she cared for her child, she didn't let anyone else in because she loves intensely and exclusively. I think her first love hurt her enough. I believe her child was her last love. We know they separated, but hearing such words from Napat surprised me."
Or is it, as Napat said in an interview, that he has a new relationship and fears problems, so he spoke out like this?
"So what if he has a new partner? Can someone have a partner but not a mother? No, don't dramatize or act like this is a soap opera. Everything depends on the two people involved, not anyone else. Don't overthink or create illusions that haunt yourself. Eventually, they will adjust—whether slow or fast, it takes time. It's about the karma they built together. If destined, they won't be separated. But gratitude is most important. I remind this with love. You can have many wives, but only one mother."
