Sunny Days – 'Namcha': Entertainment is in Her DNA, Full of Energy to Try Something New Every Day

After a five-year hiatus from acting, actress 'Namcha' Chiranaught Yusamund is returning to the screen in the film 'Khao Kala.' The actress opens up about her decision to join the project, sharing personal experiences with extraterrestrials that she encountered herself. She also updates on her family life and her transition to becoming an online merchant.

How did she get involved in the film Khao Kala?

Namecha explained: "Actually, I was one of the people who went UFO spotting with director Toffee (Sombat Hadsopith), and we got to know each other through that activity. Then Toffee asked if I was interested in being part of his project. He was working on the film Khao Kala. I was probably the last one invited because we met Toffee quite late. When we got together, I shared an experience I had as a child, and that became the starting point."

Did she already believe in this before?

Namecha: "I didn't believe at first, not until I experienced it myself."

When news came out that she might have been abducted by aliens, did people make a big fuss?

Namecha: "People were quite shocked because my experience was very tangible and direct. Many people might have seen something, but mine was something that felt real and they were about to take me."

When the incident happened, did many people know about it?

Namecha: "Only I knew about it. Actually, I told this story on a television show about 10 years ago, right after it happened. But it became treated as a joke or something crazy because back then, people were much less open to this kind of thing. There were many negative comments, so I lost my confidence and became very paranoid. I stopped talking about it altogether.

Then I met Toffee, who is very clear and knowledgeable about this topic. At first, I didn't want to get involved anymore and wanted to leave it in the past. I took some time to decide whether to act in this film because I knew there would be more comments. Plus, I'm married now with a family, so I have to think more carefully. I wanted to live peacefully, but eventually I agreed."

What made her decide to take the role?

Namecha: "I felt that when this story came up, and considering all the experiences I had with Toffee, including UFO spotting together, and the fact that I haven't been involved in this for over a decade, there must be something that keeps me connected to this. It feels like they're trying to connect with me, not letting me disappear from them.

After I went UFO spotting with Toffee, he told me to pay attention to the number 7—that from now on, I would see the number 7 every day, no matter where I looked. And it's actually true. Every day when I pick up my phone, I see 17, 77, 07, or the time 17:07 constantly. So I felt like they wanted me to do this, to share this quite intense experience that happened to me."

Looking back at that first encounter at age 20, has she experienced something similar again?

Namecha: "There was that one time, and then the day after. The second time, they didn't try to take me away, but came in a different form instead. After that, I've been researching it continuously."

Now that people are more open to this topic, does she feel more confident talking about it?

Namecha: "I do feel more confident now because it's not just people calling me crazy anymore. There are groups of believers and people with similar direct experiences who come and encourage me in the comments. I'll admit that at first when I came forward with my experience and encountered people who thought I was crazy, some even attacked me personally. I was very paranoid at that time and didn't want to talk about it anymore. But now that people are reaching out to me in a supportive way, I feel confident."

Did she need to get her husband's permission before taking this role?

Namecha: "I discussed it with him first, asking if it was okay and if he was embarrassed. But he looked at the quality of the production and the world-class team behind it. Everything seemed professional."
