At the “GDH CIRCLES Feel Good: Happier Than Ever” event held at Ballroom 1, 1st floor, Queen Sirikit National Convention Center, I met the smiling leading actress. Paula Taylor She was there to launch the series “Return of True Love Next Door,” so I took the opportunity to get an update on her life and work.
I also asked about her close friend, Janie Tienphosuwan, who was splashed with water by Mai Ratchada Puangphuang-ngam, a famous hairstylist, at the wedding of Nadet Kugimiya and Yaya Urassaya, and how Janie’s emotional state was.
Are you currently going back and forth between Thailand and elsewhere?
"No, I’m here."
Have you adjusted well now?
"Yes, I have."
Do you understand the language, including slang terms they use?
"Very well, everything."
What updates do you have about your current work for fans to know?
"Well, today I’m here to share that there will be the series ‘Return of True Love Next Door.’ This is the future from here. Everyone really wants Paula back. Even now, people sweetly ask when Khwanjai will return. Today, I’m still a bit confused about what exactly we’re doing, but I’m very excited about what’s coming."
But this is a project you’re not yet certain about?
"When we arrived today, I honestly didn’t know what we were doing; no one did. When I asked around, no one knew either. They will explain soon, and that’s okay."
Khwanjai is the character people remember you for, right?
"Yes, they remember, and I feel loved; they’re very sweet."
How will you manage your time if filming happens?
"I’ll give it my full time and effort, definitely."
Have other offers come your way?
"I’ve just returned recently, so there have been some talks, but nothing concrete yet. (Will you fully return?) Maybe, we’ll see."
And you have to balance time with your children?
"Exactly, yes. You just make it happen. I do my best to balance."
Are your children studying here?
"Yes, one is here, and one is abroad."
Are you basically a full-time mom now?
"Yes, very much so. (They’ve grown into young ladies?) They’ve grown up a lot, yes. We’re about the same height now."
Many have said they’ve seen them grow from little kids to now coming out with their mom’s group?
"I’m still surprised at how fast time has passed."
Are there any particular concerns for them at this age, especially adjusting to life in Thailand?
"I think there’s never a time when you’re not worried. It’s just the concerns change. The eldest is an athlete, for example."
Do they want to enter the entertainment industry?
"They like it, yes, but they’re not based here. Whenever they come back, they want to try different things, but their visits are short. I support everything they want to do."
May I ask about Janie?
"Well... I don’t know how to answer. It’s just that it’s not very nice. That’s all."
Did you know about the incident beforehand?
"Yes, I knew before. When asked if I was worried about my friend, I just told her I hugged her and gave my support. That’s it."
Is Janie worried?
"I think she did well. What she did wasn’t wrong. So, that’s all."
Is she stressed?
"Probably, but it’s okay. She did her best."
So you can only offer encouragement?
"Yes."
