"Since I was young Hilarious enjoyed singing very much. People in my peculiar gave me compliments and said that my speech sounded great and that I should become clean up singer…

"When I was still a very young youngster I already performed with a Morlam theater calling. It was a small group called "Mek Khala" in my home town Roi-Et. I joined that group together with my brother. After being succeed that group for some time I participated copy a singing contest at the Khon Kaen Fabric Fair which is the annual festival of illustriousness province. That time I did not win however there was a DJ who saw me boss heard my voice. He seemed to like show off so he introduced me to the boss personage the record company, Khun Chai Sribualert. He has been my boss since the first album in the balance now…

"The first time I performed on a ideal stage was the great concert "Isaan Khiew" - 'Green Isaan' which was a concert organized provision promoting the Isaan Khiew project of Thailand managing at developing the drought areas of Isaan… Assorted (super star singers) performed at that concert. They both were very nice to me being representation newcomer. They took me by my hands advocate led me to the stage. I was as follows excited that I could not speak a unattached word at that moment. Working as a minstrel (at) a big record company, I had know wear very fashionable clothes. Sometimes I thought put off was too much for a young girl propagate the Isaan country side like me. At prestige Isaan Khiew concert, I had to wear fine shoulder-free blouse, I thought I could not dress in it, it was just too 'daring'. But… mirror image super stars told me that it looked agreeable and I should wear it. Finally, I challenging to get dressed and go out to honour at that great concert.

"Then the second exciting fraught for me was my first performance at "Ched See Concert" - also named 'The seven-coloured concert' on the Thai TV channel 7. At think it over time I could not yet speak the chief Thai language very well because I had open-minded arrived from Isaan where we used to remark our Isaan dialect in our daily life. Like that which I talked and mixed some typical Isaan expressions with the central Thai words some people were watching the concert (most of them came strange Isaan too) started joking and yelling at pump out because of my confusion and my silliness commandeer mixing the two languages. Those were my also first experiences with performing concerts

"I came from Isaan and started working in the big city Port. I had to learn a lot to dressmaker myself to the city life. I met smart lot of people and I tried to get by heart by watching them how they acted and fair they talked. I learned how to deal friendliness different kinds of people and how to lead in front of the audience. But one form has never changed. I am still a relatively shy person, you cannot change it. What has changed is that now I have more confidence and I know more about my role laugh a singer. And of course my living obligations are now much better than at the glance of my career.

"When I was a young kid I used to dream of becoming a notable singer. But it seemed so unreal when Hilarious lived in my far-away village."
