Andy Shares Mysterious Moment Before Friend's Memorial Ceremony
Singer Andy Khemapimuk reported experiencing a mysterious nudge at a concert, which he believes was his late friend Tae Thamman warning him not to drink before driving to a memorial ceremony at sea in Sattahip.
Singer and host Andy Khemapimuk hosted a press conference for the concert "Pong Rock Legacy: From the First Memory to Never Forgetting" on August 17 at Hard Rock Cafe Bangkok in the Rachaprasong area. After the event, Andy opened up about his family's decision to hold a memorial ceremony for his friend Tae Thamman (also known as Tae Dragonfire) at sea in Sattahip on August 16, since Tae loved the ocean.
Andy recounted a mysterious moment at a Ford concert on Saturday. While enjoying drinks and socializing with entertainment industry friends, he felt a strong sensation like someone nudging him intensely. When he turned around, no one was there. He interpreted this as Tae warning him not to drink too much because he had to drive to Sattahip the next morning for the memorial ceremony. He said his friends witnessed this experience. Andy explained that the family and relatives confirmed Tae had visited them too.
Regarding Tae's presence, Andy shared that the family's spirits have improved. Tae's mother is doing much better and has been supported constantly by relatives and friends. Andy praised Tae's friends for their loyalty, describing Tae as more than a friend—someone who always kept him in check. During phone calls, Tae would encourage him saying things like "Stay strong, keep your cool." Andy expressed his love for Tae, often telling him to take care of himself.
When asked if Tae had visited him in dreams or sent signs, Andy said Tae doesn't visit him much initially, though Andy usually smells incense around him but not with Tae. However, something surprising happened: at Saturday's Ford concert, while Andy was having fun and drinking, he felt the strong nudge. At Sunday's memorial ceremony in Sattahip, Andy told Tae: "You don't need to go back to Rama 7 because your brother Mongkhalkitti is already there." Andy jokingly suggested Tae stay at the sea and forget about everything, since Tae worked hard during his life, constantly worried about his mother and loved his wife deeply. Andy encouraged him to let go and move forward, promising to meet halfway.
When asked what Tae was trying to communicate with that nudge, Andy said: "He was warning me not to get too drunk because I had to leave home at 6 a.m. and drive there on time." Andy noted that Tae was a drinker but never drank much; he was very health-conscious, unlike Andy who goes all out. Andy emphasized that Tae still cares consistently, both when he was alive and now. Tae's voice still echoes in his ears, especially with a song written by Vespa called "You're Still Here." The bicycle theft case remains unsolved, and the family is awaiting police and family consideration before releasing additional CCTV footage.
