Short-haired woman with pierced ears. “Baitoey Rsiam.” Today she appeared with her younger brother. “Lux Chanwit.” They opened up after posting a photo holding a mysterious man's hand on Instagram. Who is he? Is this a new love? Addressing online drama about moving on quickly after separating from her ex-husband, on the program "Kuy Zaap Show" on One31 channel.
Are you introducing a new boyfriend because you posted a photo of a mysterious hand with the caption 'new love'? Who is he?
Baitoey: Just a friend, nothing more, only a friend.
Have you talked long?
Baitoey: We've known each other for a while, but honestly, it’s more than a romantic relationship. It’s friendship, like siblings. Today, I want to clarify that the post wasn’t meant to introduce anything. I just felt that the 20 photos summed up that month, and the last day of the month had a good story, that’s all.
About what?
Baitoey: (laughs) I’ll keep that to myself.
Can you call him your boyfriend yet?
Baitoey: Not yet, because right now I have other priorities to focus on. Honestly, every month I want to feel less exhausted, and if something good happens that month, it makes me happier than usual.
Is the owner of the hand inside or outside the entertainment industry?
Baitoey: Outside. Older than me.
Usually you don’t stammer?
Lux: Lately she gets confused right away when asked about this.
Baitoey: Because I don’t want it to affect many parties.
How did you meet him?
Baitoey: We’ve known each other as siblings for a long time.
After posting the hand photo, do you still talk every day?
Baitoey: Consistently.
I heard Baitoey is very popular now with many suitors. Is that true?
Baitoey: At my age, don’t even say 'people are courting me'.
How many people?
Baitoey: When I decided to be single, I thought I’d be hotter, but I was wrong. The people who come into my life are those I genuinely want to meet, like foreigners or new worlds, but in the end, they’re siblings or people who have loved me for a long time or known me well. Knowing my current life, they gradually come in as supporters.
How many?
Baitoey: I won’t say, Mom, I can’t answer (laughs). Everyone is kind and approaches me gradually. At 35, we understand each other’s parts well, no need for many words. My life is tough; I don’t want people to know the news. I want them to be my safe zone because I’m very public. When something happens, I don’t want it to affect or disturb them or complicate their lives like mine.
Being in the public eye, is it difficult? Do you have to choose carefully with a new love?
Baitoey: It’s very difficult for me. I don’t want to open up or close off. I just don’t want to open because I’m afraid. In the past, I was open about love, but opening up caused a lot of impact.
Why only the man’s hand?
Baitoey: That’s all I could do.
No face reveal?
Baitoey: No.
Is there any special meaning to posting just the hand?
Baitoey: Nothing special. Whatever I shoot, I post it to complete the month, that’s it. I didn’t think much or ask permission from anyone.
He’s listening and upset? Do you know 'Ning'?
Ning: I know her, but we must have ethics.
Baitoey: He can’t catch that (laughs).
Ning: The celebrity community knows everyone.
Baitoey: I have to ask my sister if it’s the same person (laughs). I haven’t updated my sister, only my mom and sister.
Ning: I called your mom, Khun Naen, the celebrity matriarch. Our sister might have a boyfriend now. I’m happy and want her to be happy. She said, “Oh Ning, but Mom says… let’s wait.” Is it the same person you and Mom know?
Baitoey: Mom met many people, so I don’t know who Mom told Ning about.
Are you brave to reveal this person? Aren’t you afraid others who care about you will be hurt? Many are serious about you.
Baitoey: Really? Thank you very much. But honestly, I’m clear with everyone about my current status. This year, I don’t put that as the top priority of my life. I still have many things to do.
Netizens might criticize: if you don’t want to open up, why post the photo?
Baitoey: It’s just a feeling.
Are you confident to reveal? Some want to see the face?
Baitoey: Not yet, a long way to go. Just the hand, just the leg (laughs).
Has Lux met him?
Lux: Some have met, but not the man in the photo (laughs).
He doesn’t let Lux meet him, right? Because she dislikes everyone who courts Baitoey. Is she defensive?
Lux: It’s because Lux and Baitoey like different types of men. Different. Baitoey likes men without a future (laughs).
Baitoey: Then how could I dare bring any man to meet them? (laughs).
Lux: I still worry. I wonder when her luck with love will open.
Has her type changed now?
Lux: Not at all, it’s worse. Honestly speaking.
Lux needs to understand that Baitoey does everything to make life beautiful for herself and family. She is very strong, hiding her vulnerability. She might need someone to support her mentally, but Baitoey has to be careful.
Baitoey: I’m smarter now (laughs). I always tell him.
Lux: I wonder if she feels lonely, because after separation we go home, and she stays alone with the child. I wonder if she’s lonely.
Or is it loneliness, emptiness?
Baitoey: No, our life isn’t lonely at all, with work and rest and having a child. I think without magic, I might feel more lost. But having a child and work cuts down on loneliness. Love is different from anything else. In the beginning, I thought I’d never hope for a new love, never thought anyone would like or love me or even approach me. Honestly, I’m very grateful to everyone who shows concern and support as lovely siblings and friends.
Lux: Now she likes younger men. Her type is young.
Baitoey: But the hand in the photo belongs to an older man.
Netizens tease that she’s moving on too fast?
Baitoey: No. From my perspective, I should have moved on faster (laughs). I mean mentally. People around me are happy. My sister and mother are happy. They see in my eyes that I’m stronger now. I’m not sad or depressed. In the end, it’s mental strength, not moving on from love. It’s about work.
This year made me fully return as Baitoey Rsiam the singer, which I dreamed of. I felt broken 3–4 years ago. This is it. I want to come back and always say, 'Don’t forget me.' When I was there, I thought about fans a lot, hoping they wouldn’t forget me. This year, I feel everyone has helped me return to the music scene gracefully. All work is back to the true Baitoey Rsiam 100%.
Since when did you separate from P'Man?
Baitoey: Since January, we talked and gave time to each other. We had to give the man time to talk, accept, adjust, and tune in. Before deciding, I didn’t tell anyone. It’s a family matter, private, and as a woman, it had to reach a limit.
What was the reason?
Baitoey: Now that I read comments, everyone understands (laughs). I want people to see that it’s normal in family life. Society is more open and understanding now. In the past, comments might have criticized me more. Now there are many voices saying they understand me.
I worked very hard and faced bad things. If this is how it is today, it’s not surprising. But I want to say there’s nothing bad in our relationship. We still co-parent well. I’m glad many comments say we didn’t break up badly or have problems raising the child. We balanced well when deciding to separate.
When your sister decides to move on and have new love, what do you think?
Lux: I’ve been with her all along, supporting every decision. I once managed P'Man and went everywhere with him. Life is like this. Maybe not perfect as husband and wife, but as parents, it can work. It requires cooperation.
How is this concert?
Baitoey: Amazing. It feels like a dream. Before the case, I was about to have my solo concert. When the case happened, everything collapsed. Now, it’s like we built it up again. I did it myself with my brother. Honestly, my sister didn’t agree at first. I’m fighting alone. I did everything within two weeks. At first, I proposed to the label if they wanted to do it. I wondered if the label would support.
Lux: Baitoey still has a contract with RS, so she must notify them. This concert was meant to be a small fan concert, a fan meet, a dream stuck in her mind. She wanted her own solo concert. At first, we weren’t confident.
Honestly, we wondered if her fans would come. So we started with a small fan meet to test the feedback. But this time felt like a once-in-a-lifetime chance. She fought on her own, found sponsors, handled everything, invited guests, all by herself in less than a month.
Baitoey: When I asked for sponsors, I didn’t expect such support. I wish I could invite everyone if I could turn back time, but now it’s over 20 people.
How are tickets sold?
Baitoey: From 10 October. Tickets went on sale that day.
Lux: Tickets have various prices by seat. Today is special for Baitoey’s fans: from 1,500 baht, until 15 Sept. it’s 999 baht.
Baitoey: EF seats are for fans only. Other seats are available. Sales started today.
Tickets range from 2,000, 3,000, 3,500 baht; VIP is 4,500 baht?
Baitoey: Tickets are sold on Ticketmelon. I’ll explain: the timing was right and quick. Our club 'Shimi' has a girl group with my sister Alice Rsiam, who just returned from the U.S. We didn’t want to miss the chance. We felt we could all be together, so we had to do it now. I feel I can still dance and fight. I’m afraid when I’m 40, I won’t dance well because all my songs involve dancing. So we decided to do it.
Was the hardest part ending the relationship and telling your child?
Baitoey: Not at all. He understands very well. We didn’t explain about parents. It happened naturally. We told him that Dad had to go back home to care for Grandpa and Grandma, who are very old and sick. I can stay at any house; all are my homes. He’s fine with it. He’s very okay. When I’m busy, the child is with P’Man. When P’Man is free, he’s with us. We have a nanny. The child mainly focuses on the nanny who is close. Now he goes to school. He understands everything and we still provide full happiness.
