Listen to the astonishing life story of "Noom Kanchai Kamnodploy" who recently revealed the background behind his past nicknames and real names on the program Katanyu Tonight which he changed several times following fortune teller recommendations.
Before being called Noom, his nickname was Goi.
Noom Kanchai said his very first childhood nickname was "Goi." Later, his mother changed it to "Pai." And finally, it became "Noom." As for his real name, he initially used "Kanchai" from birth until high school when his aunt took him to see a fortune teller who said the name Kanchai was unlucky and advised changing it to "Wuttirot." The fortune teller spoke seriously, explaining that the meaning implied education that would flourish brilliantly.
However, his life took an immediate turn after changing his name. Noom described the event that day:"The next day, confident that my education would flourish, I went to school but was expelled that same day due to a fight. I had to change schools and eventually transferred to another."
About 13-14 years ago, he decided to change his real name again to "Phudit" because astrology texts warned that his previous name contained letters considered inauspicious for someone born on a Friday. Currently, Noom Kanchai's name is "Phudit Kamnodploy." However, the public still remembers and is familiar with the name "Kanchai."
