Back in my day there used to be a Mark Pakin in every Thai show you watched. Every show. Every genre. Youād turn on GMMTV and there he wasādidnāt matter if it was a romantic drama or a cooking competition, heād just be there, like some benevolent spirit haunting Thai lgbtq+ media. We didnāt question it. We just accepted it. That was the world we lived in. It was beautiful.
