On the subject of Songkran 2026 (so much new material for rumour-mongering!) ...
If anyone can tell me who this is (at 0:52 in the video below), I'd be most grateful:
Further explanation: I have just watched the following official Domundi Songkran 2026 video:
https://www.tiktok.com/@domunditv/video/7628088758772010260
As a Domundi enthusiast, I can immediately identify all 39 Domundi boys through Gen 5, plus also Reeon Natpharit (known to have recently signed with Domundi) and Few Watcharapol (rumoured to have recently signed with Domundi, so I'll take this as confirmation).
So who's this Mystery Guy # 42 (at 0:52 in the video)? Presumably the latest Domundi hire. I must find out!
As to the rest of the video:
Since all the other dance pairs are official CPs, it's interesting - very interesting! - that Domundi has Pung dancing with Phupha (they seemed friendly with each other in "DMD Friendship: Third Chapter", but they didn't match up) and Gems dancing with Few Watcharapol (which would seem to confirm the recent rumours). Anyways: I guess we have Pung/Phupha (or Phupha/Pung?) and Few/Gems as newly emerging CPs.
I don't see Thee Thirati (plays Tong in "Duang With You") in the video, so presumably he's not yet an official Domundi boy, but I see him and Wave together all over the place on social media, so I'm still betting on Thee/Wave as a CP.
I wrote a few days ago that I can see Porsche and Ohmkrit as a CP based on their compatible personalities. I have zero evidence to support this, and they're not together in the video, but I'm sticking with my gut feel!
That leaves Pete and Reeon in need of partners (maybe together?), plus potentially "divorcés" Jimmy, Tommy and James, or even Mark or Park, although I don't see any of these actually wanting a CP. (I can't imagine Poppy ever being in a CP, especially as he's already so popular in supporting roles and as a Domundi MC.)
I hope I haven't forgotten anyone!
P.S. I'd love to see Hugh Phoovitch (cutie-patootie who plays Kim in "Duang") join Domundi, but unlike Thee constantly together with Wave, I have no basis to support this.

Songkran 2026
I get it that this is a huge thing yearly, but is the festival something the agencies push actors to go to?🤔 My social media feed was just full of different clips with almost every known BL actor currently, so some of it feels very heavy PR. Not that I am saying some didn't go there, bc they wanted to just have fun, but with this many celebrities in one place it partially feels like promotional work combined with fun.

Definitely, but there are some who aren't there - for example, the reason that Kim is alone and sad at Songkran (see Tiffany's post above) is supposedly that Latte always celebrates with his family, and Keng was just released from hospital and is still recovering from his stomach thing. (The Domundi video in my previous post, with 100% of the Domundi roster, was obviously made in advance of Songkran.)

Bingo. Most seem to be having fun.
I also enjoy seeing the friendly mingling across company lines, e.g. Domundi boys mixing with GMMTV boys. (And of course, independents Daou and Offroad seem happy to mix with everyone!)
I think it's also kind of fun see ppl from different agencies mix in this kind of more relaxed setting. bc obviously of contract and commercial related things you don't otherwise see them mingle too often. Of course ppl can meet inside closed doors without cameras, which probably happens some times too.

I just posted a new thread of quality BL actor interviews for those interested.
Thank you it will be pratical when I want to do a marathon. JoongDunk were also in a Dear myself interview I didn't add it since it will ruin your system.
Oh please go ahead and post it! I'd love that!

I recommend both I can't choose one.

As I wrote two pages back, they're hard to compare. The Taiwanese original is a really good gay-themed police action-comedy (not really a BL in the HEA sense), while the Thai remake has the magic of Billkin and PP Krit. I loved both in different ways.
So I just finished watching the most recent eps of Love like a bike and Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami,
Love like a bike after ep 7
This series has gotten little better after ep 6, still not great but better. We have some much needed depth now in all of the character stories. Something I will have to say is that there is a lot of hospital related stuff for a series that isn't meant to be hospital/medical themed series (I think, even if one of the leads is a doctor). As a plot device for one pairing this would be okay, but I think they are leaning into this bit too much.
I've been watching it since it started, and yes it started average, went on at the same level and now that we reach the end, it's still average... normally I would have long dropped but I like the third couple a lot (Dindin & Tawan), they're cute, have a bit of chemistry and their NC are decent. On the other end I can't stand the main couple (older brother). You're right, they spend more time at the hospital than anywhere else! Anyway, the last episode is next week, so hopefully there will be a lot of TaUs scenes!
