Mike Thongraya Confirms Dating Foreign Woman, Says Distance No Issue
Thai actor Mike Thongraya confirmed he is dating an Asian woman based in South Korea, stating that long distance is not a problem for them. He described the relationship as progressing slowly and praised his partner's diligence. His sister, actress Aum Patchara, playfully teased him about the new romance during a public event.
Actor Mike Thongraya has opened up about his new relationship with an Asian woman who works in South Korea, saying the distance is not an obstacle. At the opening of the "AumAum" market at Central WestGate, he shared that they are taking things slow and he admires her hardworking nature. His sister, actress Aum Patchara, teased him heavily about the romance.
When asked when he would introduce his girlfriend, Mike smiled and said Aum had already teased him thoroughly, joking that he no longer loves her. He hasn't shown her photo publicly yet because there were too many people around. Asked how many months they've been together, he said they don't count in months, just that they've been 'close for a while.'
Regarding feedback from his girlfriend after his last interview, Mike said she saw it and was fine with it. He doesn't need to translate for her as she has friends who help. He clarified that she never said she didn't want to go public; he just wants to respect her safe space. She understands some Thai and is studying the language, and Mike confirmed she is of mixed heritage but declined to specify the nationality.
Mike said what made him open his heart was that she is cute, proper, and hardworking like him. He's still getting used to being in a relationship again after being single for a long time, and gets teased constantly — especially by Aum, who teases him the most, and by fans in comments. He views the relationship positively as a source of mutual encouragement and happiness, without high expectations. Distance is not an issue; they travel back and forth, with Korea being 'just around the corner' since she works there.
