“How many chilies do you put in my menu?” This week, we meet the powerful mother “Ping Li Famous”, a famous influencer and YouTuber, who will reveal the secret spicy menu of the influencer village. She also tells the story of an unforgettable incident, when she was slapped by her seniors but she did not fight back. She plans to register her marriage with her boyfriend soon and is excited to prepare to be an LGBTQ mother.
What are you doing these days?
Pingli Famous: I’m a YouTuber. I have my own channel and I’ll have a lot of shows. I do Vlog Week for 3 hours, 5 hours, etc. I film everything and live my life.
What menu are you making today?
Pingli Famous: I made kimchi salad for you all to eat. I’ve eaten it in Kanchanaburi before and was amazed at how everything really went together. We often make it. It’s a famous menu of the Giant Village. It’s the village where Ping and Mix have an office together. There’s also Katiya. There’s only big, fat friends like Aek, Eclair, Pumpkin. It’s an influencer village right now. It’s worth keeping an eye on.
We really like being slappers, don’t we?
Pingli Famous: I don’t like it, but when I was a kid, I grew up like that. You could say I was in that kind of society. Problems come to me on my own. And I’m like the leader of my friends. When my friends get into trouble or someone comes to me, they’ll tell me. I can’t choose not to slap anyone because I have to slap everyone who comes to me. And most of the time, I win because I have a good foundation. When we slap each other, we have to be mindful.
Is there anything that we remember?
Pingli Famous: It’s still in my mind. And then I thought I wouldn’t do it again. I let about 8-9 older tomboys beat me up. My friend got into a fight with his friend. My friend fought with them and lost. So I went to help my friend and took him to the hospital because his ear was torn. He beat me up by the older tomboys until my ear was torn. And because I went to help my friend, he thought I was the one who encouraged my friend to fight with his friend, so he came. I’m someone who respects my older friends and I didn’t do anything bad.
Until he came to find trouble, I already knew that if he came, he would come to slap me. My friend also said that if you go out, you will be slapped because he came to get you. And he didn’t come alone. There were 3 motorcycles, 8 people. So I decided that if we didn’t fight and didn’t go out, we would have to slap each other wherever we met. Do you understand? I went because I had enough courage. I didn’t fight. I knew that if there were this many people, they would gang up and slap me for sure. So I just stood there and let him slap me. I wore 4 helmets and stood there to let him slap me. But I had to remember that when I grew up, I wouldn’t be like this. I would be the kind of person who did this to children. When I finished, I asked him if he was no longer angry. Then I went back to play games as usual. But I was hurt and bleeding, and my head was cracked.
Now you’ve retired from the industry?
Pingli Famous: If there’s still something going on, then we can’t say goodbye. It’s my nature to not give in to people, so I have to say it like this. If you want to get slapped, try teasing me (laughs).
Have you been dating your boyfriend for a long time?
Pingli Famous: 12 years. The secret is comfort. If a man is comfortable somewhere, he will stay there. If he is not comfortable somewhere, he will leave. If we think that we will truly be a home for that person, we have to make him comfortable and want to come back home.
Now that we have equal marriage, do we have any plans to marry this person?
Pingli Famous: I’ve thought about it before, but I feel like if we get married properly, it’s probably not necessary. We’ve been together for 12 years, which is a long time. All my friends know each other already. We might register the marriage, but we won’t get married right now.
I heard you have a child?
Pingli Famous: Test tube baby, my sister is a surrogate mother. We talked about having a child for a long time. It happened to be at the same time that my sister was free, so she agreed to be a surrogate mother because she wanted to see us have a real family. It will be my boyfriend’s sperm and my sister’s egg. My sister got pregnant. Both of them had already registered their marriage. We were happy. Before making the decision, we were very stressed because I’m a ladyboy who never grew up with the instinct of being a mother. I have to learn a lot. I don’t know how to deal with this. My boyfriend is okay with it because he really wants to have a child.
How do you feel about LGBTQ people having children?
Pingli Famous: I must say that it is a very new thing. We do not know what will happen in the future. The timing is just right because the Marriage Equality Act was passed, which includes child support. Ping’s child should be one of the first cases. It turned out that the timing was just right. She has not given birth yet. She is about 7 months old.
