This is a touching story that has drawn much praise from people on social media when Tuck Boriboon Chanruang gave an interview to his close friend Jazz Chuanchuen about the issue of him lending a helping hand and transferring money to Chen Thana at a time when the latter was facing a life crisis, without expecting repayment, and also updated plans to team up for the Hyrox competition this August.
There are reports that Tuck helped Chen Thana by transferring money and didn’t ask for it back?
Tuck Boriboon said, "If we really want to start from the beginning, back when I was doing an online show and had no money, I had no funds for several episodes. I called around to ask for sponsorship money and called Chen because at that time his brand was big and popular. I told him directly, ‘Chen, I’m going to do this online show, can you lend me some money?’ He helped right away, transferring money, buying products, supporting me a lot. Then one day, when he hit a low point, and we followed his news, I had to think of his kindness. Back then, when I was in trouble, he helped me; so when he was down, I had to help him back. It’s as simple as that."
Have you had a chance to meet Chen since then?
Tuck Boriboon said, "Yes, I have. I went to see him and offer encouragement at the time, as reported."
Jazz said, "Tuck helps everyone. He’s truly amazing. I’m not just praising him for the media, but he’s genuinely a good person who always helps those in need."
From your experience, how would you describe Chen Thana to Tuck?
Tuck Boriboon said, "He’s a very good person. For me, if someone supported us from the very beginning when we started a business, everyone will never forget it. It stays with you. So, when we have a bit ourselves, we can help those who helped us."
Many people are praising you a lot?
Tuck Boriboon said, "I’m really thankful. Many people have messaged me, thank you very much. I will try to be a good person."
Helping others brings you happiness too, right?
Tuck Boriboon said, "As I always say, I’m not a very talented person, but I have good friends. I have younger brother Jazz, P’ Nui, P’ Louis, P’ Bobby, Uncle Khom, P’ Ball Chernyim — all of them support me. This is the truth."
Jazz said, "We never abandon each other, I guarantee it. Back when I was struggling, Tuck helped me too."
Did you borrow money?
Jazz said, "I borrowed 20,000 baht. I remember it well. It’s always about this. I have already paid it back now."
Tuck Boriboon said, "We help each other. We’re like brothers. When there’s something, we help."
Talking about training for the Hyrox competition?
Tuck Boriboon said, "You say it — August, Hyrox, say it out loud, we’re entering as a team."
Jazz said, "I was forced. I told everyone beforehand, I felt very pressured. I started exercising much later than the others, who got serious about it early. I only began changing my diet about a year ago. One day, someone invited me to compete in Hyrox. I thought it would be far away, like next year, but it turned out the competition is this August, just three months away."
"At first, I told them I was giving up, saying, ‘Brother... I don’t think I’ll make it.’ Everyone else had chiseled bodies and muscles, but Tuck told me, ‘It’s okay. We just focus on looking good and not embarrassing ourselves.’ Our team has three people, all fit except me. But since it’s a man’s promise, I’ll give it my best."
Tuck Boriboon said, "In Hyrox, there’s always someone carrying the team, but the two of us are more like participating for fun, a kind of fashion event."
