its live shows, which feature the lanky, active Noi as lead singer. He
dances athletically around the stage, and in one incident, he jumped
up to a giant speaker, fell, and broke his leg. The band still
performed while Noi's leg was in a cast, however. Noi still danced,
sitting on a chair and using just his upper body to dance the same
routines. Noi was among the Thai artists performing in The Ramakien: A
Rak Opera on July 28â€"30, 2006 at the Lincoln Center for Performing

into film acting in 2003, playing a leading role in The Adventure of
Iron Pussy, co-directed by Michael Shaowanasai and Apichatpong

films and musicals of the 1970s that starred Mitr Chaibancha and
Petchara Chaowarat. In 2004, he starred in the musical-comedy, Bangkok
Loco, playing a musician endowed with mystical rock-drumming powers.
