1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:00,307

2
00:00:00,623 --> 00:00:00,986

3
00:00:01,585 --> 00:00:06,461

00:00:06,453 --> 00:00:06,711

7
00:00:17,154 --> 00:00:18,206

8
00:00:18,114 --> 00:00:27,258
L Amour say gundo la tecnica anything can happen this is Thailand and time and again Thailand has demonstrated

the audience and present it to you once a week I'm a big fan also thank you

27
00:01:43,494 --> 00:01:49,674
you used to like once you

28
00:01:49,844 --> 00:01:54,881
did the interview in English to talking to the first French woman

29
00:01:54,847 --> 00:02:00,262
Astronaut Astronaut exactly exactly I love that yeah me too yeah she was so inspiring

30
00:02:00,215 --> 00:02:04,513
so many ways so do you still get to do the English interview often

31
00:02:04,385 --> 00:02:04,802

32
00:02:04,765 --> 00:02:13,516
not anymore not as much as I would like and not as much as before yeah actually your your your problem is kind of like

33
00:02:12,776 --> 00:02:15,744
similar to most people's problem

34
00:02:15,656 --> 00:02:21,038
uh in Thailand because we have been taking all these courses and classes in English

35
00:02:20,976 --> 00:02:22,290
since we are what like

36
00:02:22,194 --> 00:02:25,343
7 right and we don't get to use English

37
00:02:25,455 --> 00:02:26,119
almost

38
00:02:26,287 --> 00:02:27,024
never

39
00:02:27,054 --> 00:02:30,511
then you have to create opportunities for yourself to

40
00:02:30,325 --> 00:02:35,681
speak in the front of the camera or sometimes I'll just um pick out an articles

41
00:02:35,774 --> 00:02:39,040
an article and they just read it out aloud so that

42
00:02:38,916 --> 00:02:40,216
I won't forget

43
00:02:40,125 --> 00:02:42,655
yeah just like any skills on Earth

44
00:02:42,684 --> 00:02:45,614
if you want to maintain it and

45
00:02:45,897 --> 00:02:46,779
keep it up

46
00:02:46,924 --> 00:02:52,864
you have to practice so that's what I'm doing every day as well unfortunate in the sense

47
00:02:52,434 --> 00:02:54,055
that in my line of job

48
00:02:53,965 --> 00:03:00,125
I get to practice English 1 way or another so I think that's how I

49
00:03:00,176 --> 00:03:05,629
key polishing my English well it's funny you mentioned like talking in front of camera because

50
00:03:05,944 --> 00:03:13,382
30 years ago it would be so hard like impossible for you to talk in front of a camera but right now everybody has camera

51
00:03:13,314 --> 00:03:19,207
in their own hands so you can just talk to camera whenever you can put content on

52
00:03:18,956 --> 00:03:20,861
how you can put content on YouTube

53
00:03:20,875 --> 00:03:21,474

54
00:03:21,836 --> 00:03:22,803
done right

55
00:03:23,044 --> 00:03:29,739
I used to talk in front of the mirror actually oh really to look at myself not so much on the camera yeah but I think camera is

56
00:03:29,454 --> 00:03:37,885
can help because you can replay and look at yourself how you look or how you sound when you speak in Thai English or whatever language is

57
00:03:37,654 --> 00:03:38,393
you want

58
00:03:38,366 --> 00:03:43,604
whatever you do when you uh still anchoring at the nation and on TV

59
00:03:43,425 --> 00:03:49,754
uh in the beginning in the beginning yeah I'll just practice by myself at home

60
00:03:49,895 --> 00:03:51,076
um

61
00:03:50,925 --> 00:03:53,654
speaking out loud so that I would

62
00:03:53,675 --> 00:04:00,987
calm my my nerve down somehow because I get excited too you mentioned before we started taping

63
00:04:00,973 --> 00:04:02,333
that you were nervous

64
00:04:02,390 --> 00:04:07,701
and I couldn't believe it because you've done this for you have been doing this for over 20 years

65
00:04:07,574 --> 00:04:12,900
exactly yeah you still get nervous but I've never talked to you

66
00:04:12,695 --> 00:04:17,804
okay so I'm excited to be meeting you

67
00:04:15,395 --> 00:04:17,026
so that's a good excitement

68
00:04:17,055 --> 00:04:24,824
yeah that was a good kind of excitement yes I look forward to getting to talk to you oh me too same here so I'm also

69
00:04:24,556 --> 00:04:28,570
excited about the show today so um let's go back to

70
00:04:28,965 --> 00:04:30,067
20 years ago

71
00:04:30,054 --> 00:04:30,349

72
00:04:30,185 --> 00:04:35,277
when you first started um before you got this job as

73
00:04:35,127 --> 00:04:37,275
a news anchor

74
00:04:37,364 --> 00:04:37,585

75
00:04:37,686 --> 00:04:38,807
what did you do then

76
00:04:39,095 --> 00:04:44,731
before that before that um before that I spent a short time at Boi

77
00:04:44,924 --> 00:04:50,740
Highlands Board of Investments okay and then before that I just graduated from University

78
00:04:50,814 --> 00:04:56,560
so it's a it was a very short time at Boi and then I went to um Nation TV

79
00:04:56,073 --> 00:05:00,820
so I it was 1 of your first jobs

80
00:04:58,694 --> 00:05:01,204
you started out in in the business

81
00:05:00,804 --> 00:05:06,244
exactly how did you train yourself or how did you uh practice to be on camera

82
00:05:06,324 --> 00:05:08,402
besides talking in front of a mirror of course

83
00:05:08,434 --> 00:05:15,073
uh I look at how other people do it like or all the other more

84
00:05:15,034 --> 00:05:18,091
experience um journalists do it and then

85
00:05:18,164 --> 00:05:24,963
keep on doing it I guess practice makes perfect so the more you do it then you're more the more you get the

86
00:05:24,764 --> 00:05:30,005
deal of it and I guess that's how I would start to feel more comfortable about

87
00:05:30,215 --> 00:05:35,611
saying things or reporting in front of the camera did you have any Idol that you look up to

88
00:05:35,406 --> 00:05:36,716
and try to

89
00:05:36,625 --> 00:05:38,045
probably learn from

90
00:05:37,964 --> 00:05:42,870
like the Styles the um uh the way they like report news

91
00:05:42,837 --> 00:05:48,167
um not so much of the style but I think I learned a lot from

92
00:05:48,285 --> 00:05:51,930
um especially how he would focus on the content

93
00:05:51,994 --> 00:05:53,009
of

94
00:05:53,343 --> 00:05:56,250
we want to say and not so much about

95
00:05:56,223 --> 00:05:58,404
how we look

96
00:06:03,404 --> 00:06:09,303
exactly that's amazing and he's been like developing he's been uh changing he's been

97
00:06:09,296 --> 00:06:11,539
um like going with the trends

98
00:06:11,605 --> 00:06:12,573
that's amazing

99
00:06:12,565 --> 00:06:17,880
on his part exactly so working with him I learned a lot especially how he

100
00:06:17,885 --> 00:06:19,232
she just doesn't stop

101
00:06:19,283 --> 00:06:19,908
yeah

102
00:06:19,863 --> 00:06:23,083
he keeps on running so in order to keep up with him

103
00:06:23,257 --> 00:06:28,554
at least I have to jog right or else he will be so far ahead that I can't catch up with him

104
00:06:28,514 --> 00:06:34,092
so he has been a role model in many ways as a journalist as

105
00:06:33,965 --> 00:06:36,037
a person who is very

106
00:06:35,944 --> 00:06:41,369
diligent and hardworking and he's always curious about the world around him

107
00:06:41,195 --> 00:06:43,176
so you were like fresh

108
00:06:43,054 --> 00:06:47,058
out of college so to speak more or less yeah more or less and

109
00:06:46,966 --> 00:06:50,369
when was the first time that you got the feelings that

110
00:06:50,874 --> 00:06:51,750
I got it

111
00:06:52,024 --> 00:06:55,203
I have already discovered who I am

112
00:06:55,223 --> 00:06:59,427
on camera and I have my style and I'm confident now

113
00:06:59,528 --> 00:06:59,939

114
00:07:00,415 --> 00:07:06,121
took up quite a long while yeah yeah yes or months at least

115
00:07:05,727 --> 00:07:10,468
half a year I think oh okay yeah before before I can

116
00:07:10,408 --> 00:07:12,046
control myself

117
00:07:11,945 --> 00:07:13,320
to the point that

118
00:07:13,358 --> 00:07:14,425
my heart

119
00:07:14,835 --> 00:07:21,104
it would be it faster whenever you know the cameraman say 54321 and then camera right

120
00:07:20,975 --> 00:07:26,808
yeah my heart would beat faster but then the time that I can calm it down would

121
00:07:26,744 --> 00:07:31,372
be shorter and shorter ah you control yourself better yeah a little bit

122
00:07:31,367 --> 00:07:36,617
by bit by bit I think right okay and how about when you first

123
00:07:36,806 --> 00:07:37,950
know that

124
00:07:37,956 --> 00:07:43,222
kind of develop your own style that people can tell the difference between without and other people

125
00:07:43,466 --> 00:07:44,413
oh that

126
00:07:44,486 --> 00:07:45,731
that I really

127
00:07:45,646 --> 00:07:50,754
I think I have to ask the audience for that yeah because I'm just being myself I guess I don't

128
00:07:50,704 --> 00:07:53,194
I don't plan on

129
00:07:53,205 --> 00:07:58,931
how I will be on camera I I don't plan on that at all I'm just being myself like that

130
00:07:58,910 --> 00:08:01,399
talking to you okay and I think

131
00:08:01,336 --> 00:08:02,512
it is um

132
00:08:02,746 --> 00:08:03,881
it's just natural

133
00:08:03,966 --> 00:08:09,321
so there's no intentional design know in advance of how you want to look

134
00:08:09,088 --> 00:08:10,152
or no

135
00:08:09,926 --> 00:08:14,474
not at all this I see yeah this is me this is the way I am yeah

136
00:08:14,856 --> 00:08:16,145
and people love that

137
00:08:16,265 --> 00:08:21,638
oh thank you yeah me too oh thank you thank you I think everyone is unique

138
00:08:21,135 --> 00:08:23,129
like I look at you

139
00:08:23,125 --> 00:08:28,546
you're yourself the way you talk the way you react and I think we all can sense that

140
00:08:28,956 --> 00:08:32,157
that's the sincerity right that we

141
00:08:32,086 --> 00:08:36,014
talk to them on camera yeah but

142
00:08:35,865 --> 00:08:37,804
anyway you came before me like

143
00:08:37,665 --> 00:08:39,207
15 years

144
00:08:39,078 --> 00:08:44,946
at least so I I'm sure I'm going to learn a lot from you today

145
00:08:44,778 --> 00:08:45,747
so

146
00:08:45,605 --> 00:08:49,256
I I was curious what you think about how

147
00:08:49,065 --> 00:08:50,613
easy it seems

148
00:08:50,608 --> 00:08:54,265
for a lot of people to just be on camera and act as

149
00:08:54,257 --> 00:08:56,093
a reporter or just

150
00:08:55,795 --> 00:09:00,270
you know really report uh from these things

151
00:08:59,446 --> 00:09:01,205
sometimes or

152
00:09:01,175 --> 00:09:04,726
to like analyze whatever is going on in the world

153
00:09:04,636 --> 00:09:04,878

154
00:09:04,957 --> 00:09:06,913
it was pretty easy today

155
00:09:06,936 --> 00:09:14,613
like um you know the opportunity that they can learn and uh speaking English uh opportunity to practice themselves

156
00:09:14,496 --> 00:09:17,261
in front of a camera and Technology helps a lot too

157
00:09:17,376 --> 00:09:22,214
it's pretty easy and how how how do you think about that um I think it's

158
00:09:22,447 --> 00:09:29,430
easier in the sense that technology helps with the flow of information right it's very easy to find information

159
00:09:29,296 --> 00:09:32,538
from Google from the internet

160
00:09:32,436 --> 00:09:33,123
but

161
00:09:33,265 --> 00:09:39,649
at the same time because of this overflow of information I think you have to really be able to

162
00:09:39,417 --> 00:09:40,278
distinguish

163
00:09:40,445 --> 00:09:42,275
what is what is fake news

164
00:09:42,245 --> 00:09:44,774
what is real news what is facts

165
00:09:44,546 --> 00:09:47,174
and what is opinion I think

166
00:09:47,165 --> 00:09:50,633
that's the line that you must be able to draw

167
00:09:50,507 --> 00:09:50,757

168
00:09:50,825 --> 00:09:53,503
with all the information that you see

169
00:09:53,516 --> 00:09:57,173
yeah so you don't see it as a problem or a threat

170
00:09:57,036 --> 00:10:02,405
or someone who came before like a lot of photographers out there were talking about how

171
00:10:02,545 --> 00:10:03,287
you know

172
00:10:03,186 --> 00:10:08,895
a technology these days or you know the the quality of the camera on on the phone can

173
00:10:09,086 --> 00:10:09,781
can

174
00:10:09,848 --> 00:10:12,763
enable a lot of people to be

175
00:10:12,927 --> 00:10:16,932
almost as good or even better than a professional photographer

176
00:10:16,966 --> 00:10:22,201
so you don't have any problem with that in terms of like people acting as a news reporter

177
00:10:22,405 --> 00:10:23,481
mm

178
00:10:23,364 --> 00:10:25,534
no not at all not at all

179
00:10:25,413 --> 00:10:30,726
all are welcome is an open field I think it's totally up to you

180
00:10:30,663 --> 00:10:36,292
to the audience to decide who they want to listen to maybe it's because of the style of the

181
00:10:36,112 --> 00:10:38,992
personality of the content of

182
00:10:39,056 --> 00:10:42,477
whatever factors yeah um accessibility like

183
00:10:42,584 --> 00:10:48,173
Tik Tok probably is easier to watch news on Tik Tok than on

184
00:10:48,353 --> 00:10:49,238
CV

185
00:10:49,692 --> 00:10:55,889
maybe people are still watching that maybe for some people so it's totally fine I think platforms are

186
00:10:55,844 --> 00:11:02,212
not important at all as long as you can have access to all of those information

187
00:11:01,282 --> 00:11:04,816
to listen to the people that you like I think that's fine okay
