Khong Huai Rai Recounts Incident of Concert-Goer Cursing and Challenging Him to Fight After Warning Against Vaping During Performance
Lukthung artist Khong Huai Rai confronted a concert-goer for vaping during his May 15 performance in Chonburi, leading the man to curse at him and challenge him to fight before security removed him.
Famous lukthung artist Akkadet Yodchampai, known as Khong Huai Rai, posted on his personal Facebook account about an incident where he encountered a concert-goer who cursed at him and challenged him to a fight after he warned against vaping. Khong explained that he had been meaning to post about this for a while but hadn't had time, and took the opportunity during a holiday to share the story. On May 15, while performing at a venue in Chonburi province, Khong noticed a man vaping in the middle of the concert area. He paused his performance and politely told the man, "Sir, please don't vape in public areas." He then resumed singing, but before finishing the first verse, the man started vaping again. Khong acknowledged he may have used harsh language, saying, "Sir, can you not understand normal speech?" The man then walked up to him, cursed at him directly, and repeatedly challenged him to fight. As security escorted the man out of the venue, he continued pointing and hurling insults. Khong concluded with a message to the man: if he has sobered up and reads this post, he urges him to quit vaping, as it harms those around him, damages his own reputation, and increases his risk of cancer by harming his liver and lungs. Khong invites him to attend another concert once he has quit and taken care of his health.
