Entertainment Star – Pink Ploy Updates on Health Condition, Staying with Channel 7, No Plans to Leave
Thai actress Pink Ploy confirmed she remains under contract with Channel 7HD and is not leaving, revealing she's about 90% recovered from health issues that forced her to withdraw from a recent drama production.
After Channel 7HD announced that actress Pink Ploy Pimolmai Chansomkron was experiencing health issues and had to withdraw from the upcoming drama 'Ring of Love Across Time,' she recently appeared at the 'DIMOO Happy 9th Anniversary' event at Atrium 2, Ground Floor, Siam Square to provide health updates and clarify rumors about terminating her contract with Channel 7HD.
When asked about her current condition, Pink Ploy said: "I'm gradually getting better and have started working again. This should be my first event since December. As for the illness itself, I'd prefer not to go into the details. I'll stick with what the channel announced. I don't want to disclose specifics about what condition it is."
Regarding her recovery progress, she stated: "I'm about 90% better now and in the recovery and self-care phase. Sometimes feeling unwell isn't just physical illness—there are other things contributing to it, which I'd rather not discuss because it might affect other matters. The important thing is I'm improving steadily, but it takes time."
On her work situation, Pink Ploy confirmed: "There are no new projects right now, but I still have a contract with the channel for several more years."
Addressing concerns about contract termination, she said: "No, I'm still under contract. I don't have plans to go anywhere. I'm still here. Currently, I'm on a work hiatus, so I ask for your support and understanding. Let's wait for future projects together. We can call this a break from acting."
When asked about a potential three to five-year hiatus, Pink Ploy laughed and said: "Five years? Maybe I'll be married by then! No, I'm just resting for now. I want things to stabilize first because if I rush back to work, it could affect both my work and my health. But definitely not three years. The timeline isn't certain because this illness came so suddenly. Let's see how the future unfolds. For now, I appreciate everyone's support and hope to keep improving."
Regarding her remaining contract with the channel, she said: "I'm not sure exactly how much time is left, but there's still a contract. The management has been checking on me, and they said whenever I'm ready, I can return to work. They understand the situation and will plan for new projects once I'm able. Everyone has been very supportive. There are no hanging projects right now—just the one currently airing, 'Rose Play with Fire.'"
When asked about being replaced in a previously announced project, Pink Ploy explained: "Are you referring to the latest drama where I had to withdraw due to illness and someone took my place? There's nothing mysterious about it. I simply couldn't work while unwell, so I told the channel myself that I couldn't continue. I didn't want to inconvenience others. The longer I delayed, the harder it would be for everyone waiting for my recovery. I think it's actually good that someone stepped in because everyone could continue working without waiting for just me. A drama isn't made by just the lead couple—there's an entire crew that needs to move forward. I think that's a positive thing, and I'm rooting for my friend's performance instead."
When asked if this was her decision with management's approval, she confirmed: "Yes, it was a joint decision that we discussed, just as the channel announced."
