March Chuthaput Just Learned 'Nam Prik Kapi' Is a Popular Dish; Netizens Question If He Was Raised in Isolation

Drama erupted immediately after young actor March Chuthaput's YouTube channel released a clip questioning whether nam prik kapi is actually a popular dish. The post triggered a wave of netizen backlash, with comments ranging from 'Was he raised in isolation?' to 'Nam prik kapi is more famous than March' and 'This shows some celebrities are just good-looking.' Recently, March appeared on Channel 3's talk show 'Rak Dai Rue Young' at the Malinont building to address the drama and discuss his latest content series.

When asked why he paddles so hard, March explained: "Did you want to go? It's exhausting. (Is it a nice view trip worth paddling?) Oh, I get it now, that's not me. This is someone with sharp eyes." Regarding the viral moment, he shared: "People on set joked about it. Honestly, the person who checked the footage didn't see it. We were just focused on the fishing segment, but eventually we watched it and didn't notice anything. Don't zoom in on still frames—it's a moving image. (Were you embarrassed? Maybe it's just the wrong angle?) I really want people to see my first fishing attempt and how I succeeded with Ice and Paris. Thanks for supporting me on the fishing."

When asked what fish he caught, March replied: "I caught mackerel and butterfly mackerel. (No catfish or snakehead?) Stop teasing, I'm embarrassed. No, really, I want people to watch the fishing."

Regarding how each trip is planned, March revealed: "I don't plan anything. I really don't know. Most guests who come just ask where the crew is, but there isn't really one. I hold the camera myself, and sometimes guests help film. The team that plans doesn't tell me much—just the province, but not what we'll do or what to prepare. That's it."

When asked if he at least knows the location: "Honestly, I had no idea on the Ice trip—I was completely lost. But it was fun. (Did you not plan the previous trips either?) Maybe. Like when I went with P'O, I knew we were going to Doi Luang Chiang Dao, but I didn't know what the conditions would be like there."

March laughed when reminded that P'O (Mario) mentioned he never briefs the guests: "That's so funny! I met P'O at the airport like, 'Hey, why?' and P'O said, 'This is the one, younger brother.'"

When asked if he briefs guests beforehand: "The team communicates. I don't know. But P'O is so sweet—he walks and has so much fun. (So he brings luggage on the hiking trip?) Well, it works because we use porters."

Regarding guest selection, March explained: "The team contacts them. We do follow proper procedures, but before that, we might chat separately saying, 'Want to go on a trip? It's fun. We get life experience. I guarantee you'll come back with meaningful lessons. Everyone comes back with meaning.'"

When told that everyone who goes mentions it afterward, March said: "JJ did too. Everyone gets hooked. I won't just say JJ and Ice got super hooked. (Does that mean more fishing trips?) They want to go again with me. I'll take them somewhere harder."

Asked if he's invited Fern (Fern Phimchanok), March answered: "I did invite her. Let's challenge her a bit. I really want her to go, but she's busy filming and just wrapped a drama. If Fern finds time, it should be the trip where I'm deaf—probably get the most criticism."

When asked if he'll get criticized from start to finish: "I got criticized from the phone call invitation, but I still want to travel with her. It's fun. I want to see Fern suffer."

Asked what he'll do with Fern, March said: "She has to hike. Fern definitely has to hike. But actually, Fern is pretty tough. I think she can handle it."
