Paipaipai Balances Racing Dreams With Entertainment Career

Paipaipai Oreo isn't stepping away from entertainment—he views everything as a growing experience while dedicating himself to racing training with hopes of reaching the podium. The multi-talented entertainer appeared at The Viral Hits Love Moment Awards 2026 (Pride Month Edition) at Aksara Theatre, King Power on June 30, confirming he continues balancing entertainment work with motorsports and business operations.

He's preparing to release new music and has set his sights on podium finishes in racing competitions this year, committing to intensive training and self-improvement. At the same time, he emphasizes he hasn't closed the door on performing opportunities, remaining open to learning and developing his craft further if offered by senior professionals.

When asked if his workload remains heavy, Paipaipai explained: "I still have racing competitions and occasional event work. People think I've turned my back on entertainment to focus on racing, but I'm still accepting projects here and there. The important thing is I get to enjoy camping trips."

On managing multiple ventures, he shares: "I juggle everything. Right now I have a glamping site, products, two drink shops, event work, and music projects. I'm about to release a new song and I take things one step at a time, dividing my time accordingly."

He maintains some work-life balance: "I do have rest periods. I work about 2-4 hours, then rest. This year I want to reach the podium. Right now I'm almost at the back of the pack—still not moving forward much."

Regarding his racing training, he's intensifying his preparation: "More practice, more homework, and some physical training."

When asked if fans are worried, Paipaipai shares: "They used to worry a lot. Now I tell them wherever I need to be for good weather conditions, that's where I should be to advance quickly. I've learned new techniques—when cars collide ahead, we instinctively want to exit, but we can brake slightly and zigzag forward. I'm in my third year of racing and I've already won one award."

He's experienced accidents but views them as learning moments: "I've had incidents, but nothing that hurt my body. Car collisions are normal. (Doesn't that discourage you?) No, it's another step forward—conquering fear with courage. Once in Chiang Mai, a tire came off the rim, but I kept driving carefully. Everyone pointed at the pit crew saying I wouldn't make it, but I wanted to cross the finish line to collect points, though I did finish near the back."

On his mindset behind the wheel: "I get a little scared, but I keep pushing. Once you're at the wheel, you just feel like going forward. Go!"

For unexpected situations, he relies on instinct: "I use personal intuition. Sometimes when we go straight and cars collide ahead, we can't predict which way they'll turn, so I observe and dodge using quick thinking."

Senior racers have taught him important lessons: "They've taught me to use mindfulness—you have to control your own focus to stay on point. (So your racing isn't just about speed and fun?) They encourage me to practice and maintain mental control."

Racing has changed him significantly: "A lot. When I focus on something, I feel energized and driven forward. But behind the wheel, I'm calm. I feel I've changed inside myself—I'm much calmer. (When you get out of the car?) I go crazy. You can find clips of it if you want."

On other work opportunities: "Series work? I'm not closed to it. I'm ready to learn. If anyone gives me an opportunity, I'm prepared to learn and develop myself. Right now I'm in concert rehearsals and focusing more on business."

He doesn't see past challenges as limiting his choices: "No. Everything is an experience that helps us grow."
