A couple who are both partners and challengers “Cee Siwat - Amy Klinpratum” Today they came together to open up about their 21-year love, disproving all doubts that love won't last. They recounted a near breakup caused by a third party and admitted being very doting on their niece “Nong Gemma,” even declaring they would leave all their possessions to her, as shared on the 'Kuy Zaap Show' on One31 channel.
The more they meet, the younger they seem?
Cee: I had the same treatments as last time I mentioned. She's so beautiful and looks young (turns to compliment his wife).
Surprised you came together today?
Cee: During the flood, some of our belongings were lost, so I had to come here to earn money. We can work together. Usually, we separate. We don't accept any donations at all, so don't worry.
Were you flood victims?
Cee: Many things, as you might think. But it's okay. When we decide to help someone, we just do it wholeheartedly. We hardly think more than five seconds; after that, we overthink. We just donate or do whatever. I feel the merit is achieved by our sincerity. After this, if we do good, we keep doing good. No need to think about bad people or situations. I'm speaking broadly, not saying don't do good. Good is good for us; wrong is theirs. Just be careful. Let's change the topic, trust me.
Was your house heavily flooded?
Cee: Our house wasn’t flooded.
Amy: But the van was, because we parked it somewhere else.
Cee: Our house is at the far end of Ram Inthra.
Amy: This picture was from the first day, I think. By the second day, water reached the roof, so we parked the van elsewhere.
Cee: We told the driver to go home, but it was too late. They declared the flood at 1 or 2 a.m., so it was too late.
Amy: P'Dech woke up at 8 a.m. and sent a photo saying it was too late to move the car.
No flooding at the far end of Ram Inthra?
Cee: No flooding.
You post your niece a lot on social media, including a recent trip to Japan. How doting are you?
Amy: She’s our niece, so cute and brings brightness to our lives, giving us something to do.
Do you spoil her? What do you spoil her with?
Amy: Not to an extreme, but whenever we see something cute—clothes, dolls, all sorts of things.
Cee: Before, I didn’t pay attention much. Amy spoiled her niece and friends’ kids. I usually didn’t join, but this time I did. It was so cute—tiny shoes, tiny clothes, everything small and adorable.
Do you spoil her more than Amy?
Cee: No, but it’s very expensive. Why is it so pricey?
Amy: She grows so fast that clothes become too small quickly, so we have to buy new ones. Buying extras isn’t convenient for walking.
Cee: Gemma really changed our lives.
Do you cover her tuition?
Amy: She hasn't started school yet, but we’ve looked at schools together. We want her to attend a certain one, but it’s expensive (laughs).
Cee: It’s very expensive. We don’t force her, but we create a good environment for her. Ultimately, whatever she wants or chooses to be when she grows up is up to her. The important thing is we provide her with a good setting.
Normally, Cee doesn’t go out much and stays at home, but she changed his life?
Cee: If Gemma wants to go out and I’m with her, I go too, but not every time. If it’s early morning, I might not go. Recently, we went to Japan. I couldn’t miss it because it was the only chance to see her growth. At first, we wondered if taking her was too harsh since she’s still young. During the road trip, we drove several hours; we worried if she’d get tired.
Amy: But after the trip, she grew a lot. She talks more, explores things, and it helped her development.
Cee: She got much smarter after the trip, but we got a bit dumber because of all the responsibilities, so we’re confused.
Amy announced she would quit drinking if she had grandchildren?
Amy: Where? I never said that.
Cee: I want to snap my fingers. Who said Amy would quit drinking once she has grandchildren? No one. When did you drink last?
Amy: Two days ago.
Cee: She drank and then came here the next day.
Amy: I was filming a show, taking care of guests. I haven’t quit but I do drink less. It takes me longer to recover than before, so I don’t get to play with the niece much.
Cee: Talking about it, are you craving a drink?
Amy: Not yet, just a dry throat (laughs).
A couple of 21 years, but with the 7-year itch, boredom, and third parties?
Amy: It’s normal for people who have been together a long time and know each other well. We’ve had ups and downs and obstacles to get here. Looking back at 21 years, those challenges made today good.
Cee: It’s a test. It doesn’t get easier; it gets harder. It’s well-meaning but sometimes a headache. Amy once said well that no matter what happens, just ask if you still love each other. That simple question. If you still love each other, you can get through it.
But to get here, you said the 7-year curse led Amy to give an ultimatum: choose between him and another person?
Amy: It wasn’t exactly an ultimatum to choose, but to choose life with me or go do whatever you want. If we’re together, we have to talk about how we don’t fulfill each other. We opened up honestly. Before, we didn’t talk about bad things, so when issues arose, it forced us to talk and clear things up. It took a long time to get back to normal.
Cee: Communication is very important, no matter how long you’ve been together. The longer, the more important communication becomes. We talk about everything now.
Amy: Now we over-communicate (laughs).
Cee: If you bottle things up, it becomes a time bomb and unresolved issues grow, pushing people apart. For us, we’ve renewed ourselves. Communication is key. You have to consider the content, tone, and timing of what you say. Otherwise, the listener won’t want to hear it. We take time to grow together. Our relationship has been a journey of learning. We keep adjusting every day with no end in sight.
Any current suspicions?
Amy: No, that period is probably over. I don’t know.
Cee: There isn’t. If there were, it would be when you asked me now. You implied if someone like me has any now.
Amy: If a woman’s photo appears, Cee likes it first, likes every photo. Right?
Cee: You can check my phone yourself.
Amy: There are only photos of women, but it's not a problem.
Cee: No, really not.
Amy: No, no (laughs). Not about this. We argue about other things: business, work, moods. We never check each other’s phones because we feel it could cause problems. Sometimes small things that make us uneasy—we just don’t know.
Cee: I tell men it’s not fun. We’re 40 now; it’s not fun.
Amy: We’re old.
Cee: We’ve been through this long. There’s no happy ending. No matter how good you are at managing, believe me, secrets don’t exist. Women have strong intuition. So live happily. Find small happiness with your niece, wife, parents. Sorry, don’t be mad. That thrill is just ego. I’m not bragging; you can check my phone—I never change the password. I’ve been through those things. It’s not fun. If you want happiness, appreciate the small things around you.
Cee stopped, but Amy hasn’t. One recurring fight is Amy’s habit of socializing too much?
Cee: She’s a hostess type. When she walks into a place, everyone calls out to her. We ask if she knows them; she says no, just met them. She goes around every table.
Amy: She wants to clink glasses. Her dream is to toast with her mother, so how can she not? Sometimes she doesn’t really want to.
Cee: She’s a social butterfly. Does she want an Oscar for drinking?
Amy: No, it’s about manners.
Cee: One table’s manners are enough. Believe it or not, at one restaurant while they were singing happy birthday loudly, we clapped, and Amy got up and sat next to the birthday person. They asked who she was. There are social media clips from several events where it wasn’t even her event.
Mixing up events?
Amy: She even held the cake.
Cee: Sorry, Amy comes before Nuche (another person). Just saying.
Amy: But they invited me.
Cee: They didn’t invite you; you just sat down.
Amy: Okay, whatever (laughs).
Cee: I’ve told her many times to take care of herself. We have a niece, so I want her to look after her health. But now she’s taking care of herself.
Amy: Also due to age, I don’t drink like before—every other day, recovering quickly then drinking again. Now I drink once or twice a week, get enough sleep, drink water, exercise, unlike before when I did nothing.
What made Amy cry?
Cee: I really don’t know. I’ve done many things.
Amy: We work together on a show. Sometimes when I need to interview, I ask for advice. Usually, we don’t talk about hosting much or give each other advice. But this time, I said I wanted to say something a certain way and asked for help to phrase it well. He just gave me the exact words. I wondered what to do, and he told me to observe the event. I felt sad and lost confidence because usually when people ask for advice, they give it or say they’re good hosts. When I asked, he brushed me off. It hurt at the time, though now only a little (laughs).
Cee: As I said, after being together so long, we forget how important communication is. There are many ways to talk to her.
Amy: I have an ego too. When I asked for advice that day, I felt I shouldn’t have asked (laughs).
Cee: She has ego with her husband but is very sweet with others. We have to filter what we say to her now. I understand there are many nicer ways to speak. I’m not a great host; I just feel the event and guide her. Amy handles her own nervousness, especially meeting unfamiliar artists, and worries about what to say. I’ve been with her 21 years; I know she transforms before filming.
But after that incident, you learned to speak your hearts to each other?
Cee: I love you. Seriously, can I kiss your neck?
Amy: He only gives kisses, no neck kisses. Love you, honey (kisses).
Cee: That’s a lot. It’s been two or three years since I touched your ankle like this. Just joking. Not really. Thanks for taking care of me and teaching me to be a better person (kneels before his wife). Thank you very much.
