After that, he didn't work seriously until last year when an acquaintance gave him 500 baht, so he went to get tissue paper at Sampeng Market to sell. While he was touring around selling tissue paper, he saw people dressed as forest nymphs and Mae Nak, so he thought of dressing up like them. At that ti me, Likay Dam Dong was very famous, so he tried putting paint on his face and body, dressing up as a Phi Krahang. He went to apply for a proper talent ID card before performing at various traditional events and selling small toys, which allowed him to earn 400-500 baht per night. Mr. Surachet said that if he didn't give up, life would go on.Source: Thai News Agency
