The announcement to close the Buay Lai Tom Yum Noodle Shop branch at Theparak-Watcharaphon has become a hot topic all week. The owner had not yet explained the reason, but comments suggested the issue was quite serious and intense.
Recently, “Sen Hoi” announced on the talk show "Kuy Zaap Show" aired on One 31 channel that he has moved on from the matter and is aiming to open a new restaurant with his girlfriend, “Nong Cake Som.”
Why did we close the Buay Lai Tom Yum Noodle Shop branch at Theparak-Watcharaphon?
Sen Hoi said, “We felt it wasn’t fun anymore, so we decided to step away. Now we’ve moved on from what happened. After this, whatever happens, let it be, because if I wake up and don’t feel happy doing it, I won’t continue. But since I feel it’s not working out, it’s better to step away.”
“The shop was open for 7 months, and I thank everyone for their support. When we announced the closure, many encouraged us; everyone saw what we did and still loves us. I’m very happy that people recognize our efforts. Now we’re moving on to start a new food business.”
“I want to have a restaurant of my own at least once in my life. We’re currently working on it—a matcha cafe near Maruay Plaza Market on Hathairat Road, named HOSOMI. At first, I wanted to call it Hoi Som, but I worried people might misunderstand it as a seafood and fruit shop, so I asked ChatGPT and found a fitting Japanese name.”
Going back to Buay Lai shop—has the business been permanently closed?
Sen Hoi said, “As for me, it’s closed for good. What happens next with others is their business.”
How has Nong Cake Som been supporting you?
Cake Som said, “I support him every day since we built this together. I’m always by his side, encouraging him to keep fighting. He’s naturally very determined but might have been very stressed at first, surprised by what happened. When stressed, he becomes quiet and reflective.”
Did Pee Ple Nakorn also comment to encourage you?
Sen Hoi said, “I’m grateful to everyone who has supported me in every comment, including Khun Willie and others—even those not very close to me have offered encouragement.”
And Willie has never left your side?
Sen Hoi said, “I must say, whatever I do, whether work or love, he’s with me in every situation. Wherever I look, he’s there telling me, ‘You can do it, you have to move forward.’ Sometimes I message him, and he reads but doesn’t reply—this shows he’s always by my side. Others might not reply either, but they acknowledge by reading.”
Then the team video-called Willie.
Willie said, “I’m here to encourage Khun Hoi. As an entertainer helping to promote (laughs), I want to send support because life must go on. There’s still much merit-making to do. Hoi’s life has many adventures ahead, and I’ll take him to make merit again. I sympathize with him, but it’s okay—I’ll help promote HOSOMI.”
