this is community featuring my name is vic
12
and welcome to the show our guest today although he used to be
13
so far away from being nationwide famous he's quite popular in school for being good looking
14
but at the same time super silly and weird in the most wonderful way i think you've seen the clips.
15
So before becoming a proper rising star as is today, he once set out to become an English teacher because,
16
well, he used to say that he loved studying English
17
and he would love if one day he could teach English to kids
18
but of course life happened instead he got discovered
19
and got a role in one of the most talked about Thai series
20
and although it looks like we might not have
21
or we're not gonna have let's face it an English teacher named Mikey Panitan no more
22
but he's so charming that we still want to invite him over
23
and talk to him on the show still so let's go So welcome, Mikey Panitan, Theodore Platte.
24
Hi.
25
Good morning, evening, afternoon, and any time.
26
So do I say your name correctly?
27
Yes.
28
Okay.
29
Which name do you mean?
30
Mike Theodore Platte?
31
Mike Theodore Platte, right?
32
Yes.
33
It's not what my dad used to say.
34
It's in a Swedish accent.
35
Okay.
36
So how would he say it?
37
Mike Theodore Platte.
38
Theodor Platte.
39
Yeah, so that's Theodor.
40
No, not Theodor.
41
Okay, just Theodor.
42
Hardcore German style.
43
Oh, yeah, yeah.
44
Yeah, that sounds a lot better.
45
I like it a lot better.
46
So thank you so much for coming, Mikey.
47
Thank you for inviting me.
48
I'm very shaky. Are you excited?
49
I am.
50
Okay, but that's a good thing.
51
That's a good thing.
52
Yeah, if you feel nothing, that would be a problem.
53
Yeah, yes.
54
Okay, so this is going to be the one time that you witness Mikey speaking English for a long period of time,
55
like an hour, okay?
56
Because we have searched for, like, videos of you speaking English, but we don't find that many.
57
Like, probably something that you, like, answering questions in English and stuff like that, but not, like, a real talk.
58
Yeah, I've never done anything like this before in my life.
59
Wow.
60
So, yeah, it's new.
61
It's new for me, too.
62
Okay.
63
Because I have no friends to speak to in English.
64
I see.
65
Oh, okay.
66
So, even though you want to keep speaking English, but you have no one to talk to in English, I mean.
67
No, no one.
68
Just a couple of my friends.
69
My dad, he's German, so we speak broken English.
70
Yeah, which, by the way, this is something that we would really like to know.
71
How is the communication in your household like?
72
What languages do you guys speak to each other?
73
It's very diverse, I would say.
74
So I mainly speak, now it's Thai.
75
95 % of the time I speak Thai.
76
Another five if it's English.
77
A little bit of Swedish and German.
78
Okay you still use some swedish and german to talk to your dad as opposed yeah so with with my mom
79
100 percent thai if we include like so yeah it's not 100
80
but mainly thai my grandma
81
so in my family we we live four of us it's together my mom my dad my grandma
82
and me my mom and my grandma
83
100 percent thai my dad is 50 english and 50 swedish so okay and my dad speaks 50
84
swedish and german
85
so very international very international yeah very diverse it's kind of got like you need to switch modes
86
when you're in the family so me talking to my mom is okay
87
but when i turn to my dad yeah swedish and broken english
88
but that's how it is
89
that that's what you were known for like partly besides your uh role in lacan
90
and you're like doing goofy things in your like full -time
91
videos since the school years there's the speaking english part of yours
92
that went viral so people kind of uh surprised
93
and admire you for like speaking english so fluently i would not say i'm
94
that fluent in english mm -hmm yeah I need to practice more I mean that's why you're here
95
so you have me as an English speaking partner today yes it's amazing I can get to speak English again
96
so we don't lose it yeah okay so of course people know you from being a Khun Chai in Lacan,
97
which is so Khun Chai -like, but that is not exactly how you are like in your real life,
98
like quite the opposite.
99
Quite the opposite, yeah, because Khun Chai is a character, but me, Mikey Panithaan is also a different character.
100
Yeah, so did you have any concerned um the first time ever
101
that you learn
102
that you're gonna have to take this role like you have
103
to be kun chai you say like ah no problem i can pull
104
that off easy or god what did i get myself into
105
and how do i do it uh it's a second one
106
obviously yeah i don't know anything about acting anything about like this industry anything about working life
107
because the time I got the role I was 18 years
108
old I just graduated high school mmm 18 kids going to uni
109
and then boom you'll be a Kun Chai directly right in like one month
110
so that's that's a lot to take in yeah yeah it's quite hard okay very hard Yeah,
111
had you had any acting experience before that?
112
Never in my life.
113
Okay, because we kind of saw you like doing different things like dancing and stuff at school.
114
So we might assume that, oh, you know how to be in front of people and perform, right?
115
I've been in front of people.
116
I've been a vice president in my high school.
117
I've done a lot of activities in school, in the province, in many parts but never in this industry never like acting
118
and working and doing like straight -up acting yeah no okay
119
so it was it would be your first time like acting for real like for your career
120
because you'll be in like a real la con not just
121
school a con right yeah I'll be in TV I'll be on television
122
and and the the feelings that you know
123
that everybody's gonna be watching me on tv so it does does
124
that make you happy at the time
125
that makes i'll be famous no no i don't think it's in
126
that way i don't want to be famous okay
127
so i don't look at it in
128
that way um i'm not in it for the fame i'm
129
not in it for the money I'm doing it for the love of the art
130
but I can see like some parts of me that's no denying
131
that I never look in that way okay I became famous I would go anywhere
132
and people would know me and it's kind of weird feeling like going out
133
and people know you and you don't know them
134
and it's a nice feeling at the same time weird
135
and nice and happy and very grateful and very thankful
136
and very just good feeling overall cool all right but
137
but you are artistic
138
because a size from acting you have your music you do
139
music right I don't you play instruments you sing right yeah actually you were busking like in the street right
140
and what was it how you discovered or like people saw you from from
141
that and then like um approached you like
142
you're being scouted that way yes okay so i was 17
143
when i went basking that's a nice word now basking live
144
performing on the street yeah yeah okay you were basking yeah i was basking yeah with my friends
145
and uh my there's one person in in my current manager
146
team who went there in Lampang went on the market
147
and saw me and then okay we exchanged contact
148
and then now I'm here what did they say exactly
149
when they approached you like you are going to be a star I know
150
that no no no no not
151
that fancy way no what did they say in real life it's just like can I get your Instagram
152
and then okay can we talk can we speak okay that's one opportunity in Bangkok
153
if you want to participate okay come join us okay
154
so i went shooting bangkok do like casting and stuff okay
155
and that's it that's life and now did you know then
156
that okay this going to lead to something bigger
157
and maybe potentially change my life i i knew that
158
that it will lead to a different kind of life
159
that i was wanting to be but at that time i also think that it's not gonna be me it's not possible.
160
I'm just a kid who was busking on the street and people saw me in the streets.
161
Yeah.
162
I'm no way gonna be on a TV program this big.
163
So yeah, that's also good.
164
When I got the role, it's kind of changed my way of thought.
165
Yeah.
166
So speaking of what you were wanting to do at a time, am I right to assume that we are not gonna have an English t -shirt named Mikey Baritan anymore?
167
You might okay yeah all right there's still hope there's still hope okay i guess
168
because i you know like once you get into the the business right
169
and you got like super busy with stuff
170
and you need to focus maybe it'll be something too uh
171
too hard to do something else like totally different like teaching english
172
and then acting at the same time maybe that's not gonna
173
work you never knew what's going to happen in life you never knew what you are capable of doing yeah
174
so can I ask um what what made you want to
175
be an English teacher in the first place what sparked this dream that's a good question
176
because I never put deep thought in it is it kind of happens actually is
177
that you just enjoy like I just enjoy the process of learning English
178
and how the English language get me this far in life at that time.
179
And it's fun.
180
It's very diverse.
181
And, oh, yeah, I always think this in my, like, when I was young.
182
I'm young now.
183
I was younger.
184
If you search something in Google, for example, in Thai, it's going to come up, like, okay, 10 information.
185
But if you search that same question in English, it's a completely different thing in Thailand.
186
It's only in Thailand, you know, but if you search it,
187
the information you are gaining with the English language is very like exponentially bigger.
188
Right.
189
And very diverse.
190
And you will know more if you study more
191
so that's that's the first like thought i i get
192
when i i was like yeah the process of enjoying why i enjoy learning english is
193
because of all the information all the fun things i can
194
do fun things i can learn with english it's very it's a good thing yeah
195
so maybe i want to teach teach people to know more English, to get more information.
196
Yeah.
197
But if you want to teach people like how to use better English or how to be better in English, you don't need to be in school to do that, right?
198
Or you don't even need to be a teacher.
199
No, I didn't learn.
200
You can just be you.
201
Yeah, I didn't learn English in school.
202
I learned English by myself.
203
Right.
204
Before I got to bed, I learned English.
205
Wow.
206
Yeah.
207
Tell us how you learn English usually.
208
I listen to podcasts.
209
Wow.
210
I started listening to podcasts when I was like that's a quite young for me
211
but because other things too I got bullied like yeah we get to
212
that point later okay bullied so I start learning more I got
213
that cassette tape that my mom used to have his name is Peter some like
214
that and he always like okay I want to go to the mall what I should get
215
and he will ask his wife or something like
216
that then okay ask his friends oh we do milk and
217
and stuff like that and it's easy to learn
218
when you listen hmm
219
so I think the way to learn English for me is
220
to surround yourself with the environment like English speaking yeah English
221
speaking environment okay Wow you listen to like the tape I
222
listen to tape yes yeah I actually did same thing like 30 years ago 40 years ago
223
when it was very little and I used to do the same thing
224
because but at a time now it's
225
that this is what you choose to write
226
but back then I have no choice because we only have cassette tape right And yeah, I listen to the same table over and over and over.
227
And I think that's another thing for a person to improve your English.
228
It's like you have to repeat it, right?
229
Keep doing it, keep listening to it.
230
And do you like say the word after the tapes too, like repeating?
231
No, I just listened at first.
232
I was like scared to speak at first.
233
Oh, really?
234
Yeah.
235
I didn't have the courage to speak in English.
236
Okay, so let's talk about the bullying part because this kind of tied into this thing, right?
237
So you were bullied as a kid.
238
Yes.
239
First grade, I went to school and I went to a mini English programs class.
240
So MEP, a fancy class.
241
And in that class, you know that there's a lot of fancy students who speak good English already, who is always like, okay,
242
and I was there just, I know only Thai and Swedish at that point.
243
I don't know anything about English.
244
I don't know how to like do A, B, C in English.
245
But one of these is not English.
246
Yeah, it's not English.
247
But I have the face of a Caucasian.
248
So people would assume that I can't speak fluent in English and people will assume that I will be great in English, but I'm not.
249
That one time the teacher spelled like a hard word for a first grader.
250
The word is knife.
251
Knife meat.
252
You still remember the word.
253
I still, yeah.
254
It's in here.
255
Cut deep in here.
256
Yeah, the knife cut deep in my...
257
Knife.
258
Okay.
259
Knife.
260
It's a hard word for a first grader.
261
K and I...
262
K is silent.
263
Oh, wow.
264
Silent K.
265
Yeah. So special.
266
But I don't know.
267
So I speak out loud.
268
Okay.
269
Knieve.
270
Knieve.
271
I said.
272
Because you say what you saw, right?
273
I say what I saw.
274
Yeah.
275
It writing Knieve.
276
So I said Knieve.
277
Right.
278
And I was wrong.
279
And people would make fun of me. So, yeah.
280
But actually, Knieve in Swedish actually translates to knife.
281
Wow.
282
So I was right in my language i was right
283
and i was confident i'm correct yeah and i was very confident
284
that i was right it's knieff i think that's the first like time
285
that i got like laughed at and then it came more
286
and more like happy sad words
287
and i don't understand any of it a b c i
288
can't spell it i don't look at it in a bullied
289
way okay it's just the comments i see they expect me to speak in a show, I will speak English for them,
290
for their expectations, so they don't need to talk too much around me.
291
That's the way I'm thinking as I was younger.
292
This kind of pushed you into learning more.
293
That's good.
294
You handled it very well.
295
Thank you so much.
296
Good job, Mikey.
297
Good job.
298
But you did a good job because not everybody would take it the same way as you did.
299
They would clam up, like, okay, I'm not going to talk anymore.
300
class because i'll get laughed at yeah
301
and you you're not going anywhere with with that kind of thinking
302
but it's a good thing that you think the opposite yeah yeah okay all right
303
so and then you just keep go back and listen to your tape
304
and got better at english yeah what else did you do to get better at english i play games oh
305
and that's very uh kind of underrated thing to learn english playing playing games
306
because mostly parents will not agree with this playing games killing
307
people you know robbing it depends on what the kind of game
308
that you play it depends yeah
309
but you know the word play like once they heard the
310
word play it's like this is not learning this is playing yeah right yeah
311
but i always i always say to my mama
312
that i was not playing i was learning from it And I was getting better.
313
Wow.
314
And she will know that I will get better because when I speak to her back in English.
315
It shows, right?
316
Yeah, it shows.
317
So the game I played is Minecraft, if you ever heard of it.
318
Yeah.
319
It's a very famous game with a building block and some survival game.
320
Yeah.
321
And a survival game makes you know that.. kind of rudiments.
322
Ooh, fancy words.
323
Fancy words.
324
I think it in a music way.
325
What is the basics?
326
That's a more basic word.
327
Yeah.
328
Yeah, let's you know a lot of like basic words in the world, actually.
329
In a game, okay, you spawn in a place.
330
What do you need to do?
331
Cut wood.
332
Cut wood, okay.
333
Mine some stone.
334
Okay, you got wood.
335
You got cut.
336
You got mine.
337
You got stone.
338
Wow.
339
Okay, you mine a stone.
340
You do a pickaxe.
341
Okay, you got an axe.
342
You got a shovel you got everything you got grass you
343
got a leaf you got a house you got a wooden plank
344
and words just keep like vocabulary just keep like yeah that's the special thing about playing games
345
that people don't actually like that as i said it's underrated yeah
346
and that's the very beginning of me like learning
347
that is very like exponentially growth in english especially
348
if you're mindful about it like i'm playing
349
and i'm learning at the same time so yeah all the words
350
that i can like collect yeah yeah
351
and it's fun words too sugar cane like
352
that wow what is a sugar cane oh you never know
353
if you know like the experience like this
354
so you learn from the context or you kind of found the word
355
that you're interested in and then you go look up in the dictionary?
356
It just shows.
357
It shows.
358
It explains to you.
359
For me, when you learn English and then translate into Thai, it helps you learn.
360
But you know what the English -speaking people, they don't think.
361
They just talk in English and they understand.
362
They know what hands are.
363
They know what water are.
364
They don't need to say, okay, water is .
365
So that's my way of thinking just like surround myself with this and you okay so now I know water is nam, nam is also nam.
366
I don't need to think, okay, water, thao kap nam no. So you don't need that translation process.
367
It will take you like one second extra.
368
But yeah because I've heard there's a great way of practicing English too.
369
You have to like use it as if it's your own
370
so there's no like translation oh yeah that is
371
so good see you're teaching English right now even though you're
372
not a teacher in school right you're teaching our audience some some tips yeah yeah it's a tips yeah
373
but it's what what's interesting is that is the tips
374
that you kind of found by yourself in life like nobody taught you Nobody taught me this.
375
Right.
376
Oh, wow.
377
And I kind of like enjoy the process of playing games.
378
It's enjoyable. So, yeah.
379
Go play games. So good. So good.
380
So that's why you have like lots of like vocabularies or words to use.
381
And then how did you get good at speaking?
382
Also playing games.
383
Oh.
384
Helped me with speaking too.
385
Oh.
386
I live in Lampang.
387
Lampang is a small province in the northern part of Thailand with no many foreigners
388
so no one to speak English to where can you find English people online the whole world yeah
389
and how can you engage with them maybe it's on website
390
but that's scary so me I play games to find some English speaking people online mm -hmm
391
and when you play games I was playing this game
392
and maybe like grade seven eight
393
or something like this I start like practicing to speak English
394
when you play games and people like talking can I swear sure yeah
395
when you're playing games
396
and it's a team -based game people are gonna swear at you people are gonna talk shit to you yeah
397
and what will be better than you knowing the English to talk back to them as we're at them too
398
so yeah yeah you need to be able to talk back
399
survival instinct you need to learn English to talk back see
400
you can make a point yeah purpose yeah this is my goal I wanna die
401
so I go learn English to die for Nick
402
and I see yeah this is like real life
403
because this is the best way to learn
404
if you kind of have to learn just because you need to get an A.
405
It wouldn't mean this much right?
406
Yeah it wouldn't mean this much.
407
Being able to hold back means a lot more than getting an A.
408
And you can understand when people are talking about you so that's perfect when you go abroad.
409
Yeah.
410
You can understand what they are Speaking to you.
411
Yeah.
412
Wow.
413
This is good.
414
This is so real.
415
It is real.
416
You can use it.
417
Yeah, just do as Mikey did.
418
But don't go, like, swear at people in random, no. They need to do something bad to you first.
419
Tell me.
420
Tell me.
421
Tell me.
422
Tell me.
423
Tell me. For education purposes only.
424
And for, like, gaming purposes only.
425
Yeah, for the better self of you learning English, yeah.
426
Yeah, wow.
427
That is so good.
428
And besides from seeing all those viral clips of yours,
429
you also like participated in some like English quiz show and stuff like that.
430
So that's, I think, another thing that you can surround yourself with, like English environment.
431
Yeah.
432
And so you are a star.

595
So you like more than trilingual kids.
596
quadlingual I don't even know what is the word
597
but isn't it fun to be able to like use
598
and understand like many languages it's like a power like special power right yeah
599
and it's fun it's fun I love it it's fun okay tell us about the Kun Chai experience again
600
because people love you for it right yeah
601
and can you tell i know that you've said before
602
that is like different people there but there there must be something
603
that you can resonate with your character is there anything at all in common between the character
604
and yourself i guess it's we both try to do good for other people,
605
try to do good for the world, be a good person in generally.
606
It's always come back to being a good person.
607
It's what who you are as a person.
608
Okay.
609
So just be a good person.
610
I do my best to be a good person and chặt cao will.
611
Okay.
612
I've heard before from many actors or actresses
613
that playing a good guy sometimes is quite boring because you get to be so good,
614
but sometimes inside you just want to smack a person or be mean to people.
615
Do you feel the same way that it could have been
616
so much fun
617
if I get to play the evil person? it would be fun yeah to experience the feeling of evilness
618
but for me it's not not boring mmm playing a good character
619
because good character have us have a character mmm
620
so it's also exciting things to learn about like how good
621
people think maybe you would change some of your like thoughts maybe where you think in life okay
622
so maybe you can be a good person like them in
623
TV maybe that's a good thing who knows maybe that's a bad thing
624
but you will know because you are the person who study
625
so for your next role would you again play a good person have you known
626
that yet my next role is a little bit grayish oh
627
that is also fun to play i guess
628
because it's not like too obvious that you're good or bad
629
but people could just keep guessing it's human it's human right It's human.
630
Every human being has a good side and a bad side.
631
Just what we chose to the world.
632
That is so nice.
633
And how old are you again?
634
I'm 21.
635
You're 21.
636
You're still so young but you have a lot of like philosophical thoughts like wow this guy's deep.
637
You're deep man.
638
I listen to podcasts.
639
Yeah that's the thing.
640
If you keep learning yeah yeah it doesn't matter how old you are
641
but you could have lots of interesting thoughts too right okay all right
642
so what else do you want to do in life
643
because now okay you're acting you're singing right yeah what else
644
do you want to do for now mainly is acting i want to get good at acting
645
because now i'm in the industry and obviously I'm doing it for a living now.
646
I want to get good.
647
I want to be a good actor to top ten.
648
The people who support me, who love me, all my fans, all my family, all my friends, and everyone surrounding me generally.
649
I want to be a good actor.
650
Do you have any idol or someone you look up to in the industry
651
that I want to be just like this person I don't want to be like
652
that person okay yeah I want to be me
653
but I do have a person who I look up to a lot actually in various different not just actors
654
but musicians teachers and friends in life and everything I have like in acting everyone who I work with, I look up to them.
655
Everyone.
656
All my colleagues, my actress, my brother in the series, I look up to them.
657
Everyone.
658
All the legends. So basically everyone.
659
I don't have a strong role model.
660
Okay, I agree.
661
You can always learn from everyone.
662
Like everyone's good at something.
663
Yes.
664
Right?
665
Everyone is special in some way.
666
Right, right.
667
I always say this, everyone have their own specialness.
668
And what is your specialness?
669
I don't know, I need to find.
670
I asked them to find out what is my specialness.
671
But being in this industry and working in this business, I think it can teach you about yourself a lot.
672
Because you have to use you, yourself, to put into work.
673
And that would be a lot of them could be something like character building factor for you right yeah
674
and it could reveal the kind of person you are as
675
well yeah I definitely learned a lot in the past like
676
recent years of working yeah since you got into acting anything
677
that you are surprised about yourself
678
that I never knew I am this kind of person
679
or I never knew I could do this
680
but apparently I can yeah almost every day yeah I never
681
knew I can do any of the things I've done in the last three years never thought
682
that I capable of doing it so yeah never step stand out for yourself now never stay the ceiling yeah Okay, done.
683

693
Okay.

695
There's one question to ask all of my guests, right?
696
Because our show is called Khamidhi.
697
So kham is what we love.
698
We want to learn if you have any favorite words.
699
So maybe we can apply that word or that thinking to my life and make it better.
700
So we can always learn about the person from the words that they like.
701
That's what we believe in, right?
702
So can I ask you for your favorite words in all the languages that you speak?
703
The word I like in Thai is the word rāp.
704
Rāp, oh?
705
Are you a romantic person?
706
No, I wouldn't say I'm a romantic person.
707
But you love the word RAK.
708
Why?
709
It's a deep meaning.
710
It can also be a shallow meaning.
711
RAK is just, okay, it's just love.
712
RAK can be RAK.
713
So that's the word I like a lot.
714
Okay.
715

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
