Brilio.net - Jirayut's presence in the Indonesian dangdut scene really surprised the public. He became known when he took part in the Dangdut Academy 4 contest in 2017.
Since its success in Indonesia, Jirayut has also attracted attention. He has a voice and dangdut style that is not inferior to native Indonesian dangdut singers. Even though he didn't become the champion after crashing in the top 10, Jirayut managed to prove he was one of the foreign celebrities who achieved success in Indonesia.
Not only singing, this young man from Thailand is starting to spread his wings as a presenter. He was appointed as host of D'Academy which made his name increasingly popular. His personality is funny and friendly to everyone, so it's not wrong that many people fall in love and idolize his figure.

Having been successful in Indonesia, Jirayut also has the desire to develop a career in his home country. But unfortunately, it is still difficult for him to make this wish come true because until now no one has looked at his talents.
"It's not that there is no intention, it's more that it hasn't even been looked at," said Jirayut on the recent VINDES YouTube podcast.
Jirayut realized that his career in Indonesia was not very big, so he could not spread his wings to Thailand. However, he remained patient and optimistic, waiting for that golden opportunity to come.
"Maybe because it's not yet wide enough. Well, who knows, maybe there will be good fortune. Now I'll just enjoy what I get now," he added.

The 23 year old man also shared the difficulties he faced in achieving his dream of becoming a famous artist in Thailand. His residence is located in a remote area, making it difficult to get attention from the entertainment industry there.
"It's hard, it's a bit tough, it's a bit difficult, because maybe because I'm a remote area, I'm not a city person, it's a bit difficult to be an artist in the capital city, so it's just difficult. Well, in Indonesia there is an opportunity. I want to work here, my fortune is here ," he explained.
Vincent, as the host of the event, is still curious about Jirayut's career in Thailand. At least, there is media reporting that there are citizens of their country who are pursuing careers in Indonesia.
"How come there isn't anything in the Thai media that makes it seem like a Thai citizen is really famous in Indonesia?" asked Vincent.

However, it seems that Jirayut's success in Indonesia has not received attention from major media in Thailand. Even so, on social media there was a lot of discussion about Jirayut's name.
"Not yet for media, but there are already a lot for social media, but not for TV yet," answered Jirayut.
Because of this, Jirayut was discouraged because he felt that he was not yet famous in Thailand. Again, Jirayut suspects that his origin from Narathiwat, a remote area far from the hustle and bustle of the capital, is the reason he has not had the opportunity to perform in his country.
"Well, I also wonder why. I'm discouraged, maybe because I'm from Narathiwat or maybe because I'm from a remote area so it's like I'll just ignore it," said Jirayut.
Before moving to Indonesia to compete, Jirayut was not an artist. He is an ordinary teenager with a routine of going to school and occasionally taking part in singing competitions representing the province where he lives. From his passion for singing, who would have thought that Jirayut would now be famous as a dancer.
