Yong Armchair. “Do you know, you’ve inspired me since I was a kid? From the first time I saw you, I was completely captivated and dreamed of working with you one day... You were the only idol I never got to meet in person, and I don’t know why...
Today’s news shocked me, made me sad and regretful, even resentful that I never got to meet you... Thank you for being a presence that helped shape a young person’s strength to pursue their dreams. You were the coolest traveler in the world. Wherever your final journey leads, I hope it brings you the same happiness you always had. Rest peacefully, P’Ray. Love you. ”
Sani Niphaporn. “P’Ray truly lived life to the fullest. From now on, it will be your most peaceful journey. Thank you for signing my hat. Thank you so much. Rest in peace.”
Phuri Hiranpruek. “Ray, this journey of yours is a long one 沈 Thank you for being an inspiration and idol since my youth in the '90s. We used to hang out on Soi 4 and at Deeper, and there you were—Ray, Chakrit, Pere. I would just watch and think how cool you all were, wishing I could be that cool.
When I started in the industry, you were my inspiration for acting. Who else plays every role so coolly and immerses fully, yet doesn’t do dramas but follows pure passion? You are a true idol. When you began travel shows, you inspired me there too—driving, motorcycling, exploring. You’re a legend.
Every trip with you was filled with laughter, mischief, and talks about life, work, and our beloved Land Rover. Every time you reached out, we talked about these toys 沈 Thank you for inspiring me to be as cool as you and to do work I love. I will always remember the great times with you. Farewell, brother 懶懶懶”
P.S. My condolences to Mam and the family. Always here to support you.”
Dome Pakorn Lum. “I’ve known you since I was 15. We ate and traveled together as kids, went through ups and downs, always around each other. We each grew in our own careers, but these last five years we reconnected. I admired the new steps you took. Never imagined you’d leave us so soon. May you rest in a good place, friend. #TurtleGang”
Poo Blackhead. “RIP Ray MacDonald. Rest peacefully, Ray ”
