Translation: Faye: Thank you so much, everyone. If it’s in Thailand, it would be P’Juth, right? Thank you for always translating. Thank you so much. THE HIDDEN TRUTH #BrokenOfLoveEP6

Translating the cheeky stickers I spotted in the video. "The Uke Is Always Right!" "My Life Runs on Money!" "Living Glam, Bank Account in the Red!" "I'm Saving Up for 00K!" "My Body Needs a Gay Recharge!" "Too Tired to Cry, So I Sing Mor Lam Instead!" 💡 It's a play on words in Thai. The word "ร้อง" (rong) is used in both "ร้องไห้" (to cry) and "ร้องเพลง" (to sing). So the joke is that you're so exhausted you want to cry, but instead, all you can do is sing Mor Lam! Mor Lam (หมอลำ) is a traditional folk music and performance style from northeastern Thailand, known as the Isan region, with strong cultural roots shared with Laos. It is famous for its distinctive melodies, rhythmic singing, storytelling, and lively performances, often accompanied by the khaen, a traditional bamboo mouth organ. Modern Mor Lam can be incredibly energetic, with upbeat music, dancing, colorful costumes, and entertaining performances. So, in this sticker, the joke is that you're so exhausted you feel like crying, but instead of crying, you end up singing Mor Lam!

Let me explain a little more about Thai culture! First, "Phi" (พี่) is actually pronounced quite similarly to the English word "Pee", but we usually write it as "Phi" in English to avoid the rather funny alternative meaning of "pee"! 🇹🇭 In Thai: Phi (พี่) = Someone older than you, regardless of gender. Nong (น้อง) = Someone younger than you, regardless of gender. Phi Sao (พี่สาว) = Older sister. Nong Sao (น้องสาว) = Younger sister. Now, here's where Thai culture gets interesting! 💡 Thailand is a society where age, respect, and relationships are closely connected. We often treat people around us almost like extended family, even when we're not related by blood. We generally call someone older than us "Phi" as a sign of respect, while someone younger is called "Nong", often with a sense of warmth, affection, and care. But here's the tricky part! 💡 What if you don't know someone's age? Well, calling them "Phi" is often the safer and more polite choice. It's a way of showing respect without assuming they're younger than you. And here's something that might make international fans laugh! Thai people often ask each other, "How old are you?" quite casually. In many Western cultures, asking someone's age can feel a little too personal or even rude. But in Thailand, it isn't necessarily offensive at all! Sometimes, we're simply trying to figure out how to address you properly! Should we call you "Phi" and show you the respect we would give an older sibling? Or should we call you "Nong" and treat you with the warmth, affection, and protective care we might give a younger sibling? That's why age can matter in everyday Thai conversations. It's not always about judging someone's age. It's often about understanding the relationship and choosing the appropriate way to address them. And that's one of the charming things about Thai culture: even strangers can become "Phi" and "Nong," just like members of one big family. ❤️🇹🇭

Translation: Faye: Who put this sticker here? Pam: You did, Je! (Sis/姐) This is your room, after all! Faye: PAM!!!!! The sticker reads: "Love the Uke. Who cares about the Seme!" 💡Cultural Context In Japanese BL (Boys' Love) culture, these roles are commonly referred to as: 攻め (Seme): The dominant or leading role in a romantic relationship, often characterized by assertiveness, confidence, or authority. 受け (Uke): The receptive role, often portrayed as gentler, more sensitive, or someone who enjoys being cared for. In Thailand, these Japanese terms have been adapted and shortened to "Me" (เมะ) from Seme and "Ke" (เคะ) from Uke. The Thai phrase "รักเคะ เมะช่างมัน" literally means: "Love the Uke. Forget about the Seme!" It's a playful, cheeky expression that clearly shows a preference for the Uke over the Seme. #FayePeraya

Marr Team × FayeAtom - Part 1 Translation 🌳 Opening & Introductions MC: Welcome to Marr with FayeAtom! Everyone: Yayyyy! Faye & Atom: Sawadi ka! MC: We're excited! Atom: That's not true! You guys don't look excited at all. Faye: Why are you all holding your microphones exactly the same way? Atom: They've already been briefed to hold them like that. MC: We're so happy to have you both on the show! Faye: This is my second time here, but I'm still nervous. I don't know why. My hands are so cold! MC: Try holding the hand of the person next to you. (Faye holds Atom's hand.) Faye: Are you feeling unwell? Your hands are warm, almost hot! Atom: This is my first time recording a song at Marr Team. Honestly, coming here has been one of my dreams. I've always enjoyed listening to your music and watching your work. I've wanted to do this for so long, and today I finally get to record a song with you. I'm really happy! MC: Awwww. MC: P'Faye, are you okay with your microphone? (Laughs.) MC: Now that we have FayeAtom here, we'd like you to introduce yourselves to anyone who might not know you yet. Faye: Sawadi ka, I'm Faye. Just stick around, and you'll get to know me eventually. Atom: Sawadi ka, I'm Atom Pariya. Stick around with P'Faye, and you'll eventually get to know me! Faye: Because that's how getting to know someone begins, right? You can't know everything about a person immediately. You have to talk, listen to each other's stories, and gradually get to know one another. MC: Exactly! Now, we'd love to hear some updates about your lives. 🌳 Upcoming Projects Atom: We recently finished our first series together, Broken of Love. And next, we have... Faye: Our second series! We're currently preparing and casting. Filming will begin next year. It's a romantic comedy, with a cute, lighthearted atmosphere. But right from the beginning, our characters are already bickering! MC: Oh! We're getting spoilers! Faye: I'm giving you spoilers right now! Atom's character is very superstitious (Sai Mu) and believes in spiritual practices. My character has a sharp tongue. And Atom's character doesn't back down either. My character will look at Atom's character and think, "She's cute, but why does she have such a smart mouth? I really can't stand her!" MC: Fabulous! Everyone, stay tuned! 🌳 Three Things That Could Break You MC: Let's chat a little. I'd like each of you to rank three things that could completely break you emotionally. Faye: Love, trust, and thoughts. When I love someone, I love them with everything I have. What can truly break me is when love and trust disappear at the same time. And when those two things are gone, my thoughts follow. If I could still maintain a positive mindset, perhaps I wouldn't completely fall apart. But these three things are connected. Losing even one is already painful. But when all three collapse together, it can leave you completely shattered, unable to put yourself back together. For me, that's incredibly painful. It can completely break a person. But that doesn't mean you can never put yourself back together again. These are simply parts of life that everyone has to experience. Something that seems small to someone else might feel enormous to me. For example, I get really upset when I cook something, and it turns out too salty. Atom: I like salty food! Faye: Atom eats one bite of rice and then one spoonful of fish sauce! You eat so much salt! Of course, that's not something that would completely break me. It's just a bad moment or a bad day. But it's okay. I can always make it again. And when our feelings are broken, we can rebuild them ourselves too. Atom: For me, the three things that have the greatest emotional impact are my family, everyone I love, and trust, just like P'Faye said. Trust is something I'm very sensitive about, so all three things are connected for me. I care deeply about the people I love. My family, siblings, loved ones, and friends mean everything to me. If something happened to any of them, it could completely break me. 🌳 What Should You Stop Doing to Improve Your Life? MC: What's one thing you could stop doing that would make your life a million percent better? Faye: What should I stop doing to make my life better? MC: Yes! Faye: Stop holding on to the past. Sometimes we become so attached to what has already happened. For example, before my grandmother passed away, I kept thinking, "What if I'd decided to come back earlier? Could I have done something better? Would I have made it in time?" Those were thoughts I created myself. But I forgot to consider that it was her time. I tied my emotions to the past, and I made myself suffer. So, stop holding on to the past. Look forward. Focus on yourself, your work, and what you're doing each day. You'll stop overthinking so much. And it's not just about my grandmother. There have been many other things in my life. Once I stopped dwelling on them and stopped letting them consume my thoughts, my life improved by 100%. Actually, 300%! As for my grandmother, that memory has stayed with me from that day to this day. But I no longer blame myself. I've moved past that feeling. I wish I'd understood this way of thinking much earlier. MC: So, letting go of the past makes life better. Faye: Exactly! Stop holding on to the past, and your life will improve 100%. MC: What about Atom? Faye: Shall I answer for her? Stop overthinking! (Atom laughs.) Faye: She thinks about everything. Every second. Every single moment! Atom: I always think ahead. If I could stop doing that, my life would probably be much better, P'Faye. Faye: You're seriously going to drive yourself crazy one day! Atom: I once went to see a fortune teller. The fortune teller didn't even make any predictions. They just looked at my face and said, "Stop overthinking! You worry about everything before it even happens. Stop it!" I've been trying to stop overthinking. But sometimes I start worrying about things before they've even happened. All those thoughts build up inside me, and I end up getting stressed over the smallest things. I also absorb other people's emotions, and I don't know how to release those feelings. If I could stop overthinking, I think my life would improve. Faye: She's the overthinker. Meanwhile, I don't think about anything at all. Seriously! Sometimes even I find that strange. Everyone experiences problems differently, whether they're big or small. But for me, when something happens, I somehow just forget about it. It disappears from my mind. How does that even happen? (Laughs.) Atom: That's a good thing, though! I tend to overthink when it involves people I care deeply about, people I love, and those around me. I start worrying before anything has even happened. But it's actually good that P'Faye doesn't overthink. Whenever something is bothering me, and I talk to her about it, she doesn't worry about it at all! Faye: Sometimes I ask her, "Has this actually happened yet?" And she says, "No." So I ask, "Then why are you worrying about it?" Thinking ahead is a good thing, of course. It helps you prepare. But this goes beyond preparation. She becomes overly anxious about certain things. MC: Are you overthinking today? Atom: Not today! I'm happy and enjoying myself! Faye: But if someone tells her there's going to be an interview, especially one with microphones, she'll immediately start overthinking. I've never told anyone this before. This is the first show where I'm revealing that Atom is afraid of microphones! Atom: Yes! Whenever there's a microphone, I'll be like, "P'Faye..." Faye: I didn't tell her there would be an interview today. If I'd told her, she would have been stressed. MC: Why is that? Atom: It's because I get nervous. I want to do well. And without realizing it, I start setting expectations for myself. Then I overthink everything. "What should I do? How should I act?" Faye: What she doesn't realize is that just being herself is already good enough. She keeps thinking about what she needs to do to be better, placing all these expectations on herself. But she forgets that who she already is is good enough. I tell her that all the time. But Atom easily forgets the things I tell her! (Laughs.) She overthinks what everyone else says, except what I say! (Laughs.) For example, I tell her, "You're already good enough." And then, just a moment later, she's forgotten it! That's why I didn't tell her there would be an interview today. So she could just enjoy herself. Atom: I literally just found out a moment ago! Faye: Exactly! That's why she isn't stressed. The thing is, we have to learn how to live and work together. If I know that telling her something in advance will make her stressed, then I need to understand what the person beside me is like and figure out how to help her feel comfortable. So I simply told her, "We're just going to have a casual chat." And that way, she doesn't feel stressed. Atom: I'm not very good at serious, meaningful conversations! MC: That's not true! Anyway, let's get back to something meaningful! Faye: Oh no! Now Atom's going to get stressed! (Laughs.) 🌳 Words That Heal Your Heart MC: We'd like to know: what's a sentence that helps heal your heart? Atom: "I don't have to be strong all the time." Faye: Exactly! (Atom laughs.) Atom: I don't have to smile all the time. I don't have to be strong every moment. It's okay to have vulnerable moments. Faye: If you want to cry, then cry. Atom: It's okay to show my vulnerable side. Faye: I tell her, "Just cry if you need to." Atom: P'Faye always tells me, "If you need to cry, just cry." Faye: Sometimes she tries so hard to be strong. She worries about everyone else's feelings. She doesn't want to make this person uncomfortable or that person stressed. She worries about what everyone else might think. But I tell her that she should be free to express herself however she feels. I would never ask her, "Why are you crying?" Instead, I'd ask, "Do you want to cry? I'm right here." And if her makeup gets ruined, we can just do it again. Just let her be herself. That's the best thing she can do. And that's enough. Faye: For me, the sentence is, "Tomorrow, the sun will rise again." It means a lot to me. Maybe today I can't figure something out. Maybe I can't solve a problem. But tomorrow, the sun will rise again, and I can start over. To me, those words genuinely represent a new beginning. They're not just something you say to feel better for a moment. Because tomorrow brings new possibilities. New thoughts, new feelings, and a brand-new morning are waiting for us. So it's okay if you can't solve something today. It's okay if you can't cry. And if you want to cry, that's okay too. We're human beings. We have feelings. Atom: You say things so beautifully, don't you? Faye: Are you crying yet? Are you crying yet? (Laughs.) 🌳 How Faye Comforts Atom Faye: When I see her feeling emotional, sometimes I don't even say anything. She'll immediately tell me, "Don't! If you hug me right now, I'm going to cry!" Atom: If someone comes over to hug me or comfort me, I'll start crying right away. And P'Faye can always tell when I'm feeling that way. Faye: I just need to be near her and ask, "Are you okay?" Or simply say, "I'm right here." And she'll start crying. She often raises her hand like this, as if she's saying, "Give me a moment." But I don't move away from her. I just stay there quietly and let her do whatever she needs to do. 🌳 What Does Good Love Mean to Faye and Atom? MC: What does good love mean to Faye and Atom? Faye: Let her answer first. Atom: Being able to be myself, and having someone who still stays beside me and loves me, no matter which version of myself I am. Whether I'm an angel or a monster, that person is still there. We work through problems together instead of pushing each other away. We're always there for one another. Faye: For me, good love means being loved even on the days when I'm not very lovable. I'm not lovable all the time. There are moments when I'm unhappy with myself or frustrated with other people. We're just ordinary human beings. We experience every kind of emotion. Good love is when the person beside you still loves you on the days when you're not at your best. Whether I realize I'm being difficult or not, that person still loves me. It's love built on understanding. Even when I unintentionally show a side of myself that isn't very lovable, or a version of myself that I don't particularly like, that person still loves me. That's what good love means to me. (The program transitions into the singing performance.) Link: youtube.com/watch?v=tCB7HJ_w… #FayeAtom

Risa, thank you for taking the time to write such a thoughtful message 🙏🏼 I really appreciate how you connected your experience growing up in South Africa, with its incredible linguistic and cultural diversity, to the importance of understanding language through historical and cultural context. I've always believed that translation is not simply about finding equivalent words. It's about helping people understand the meaning, intention, emotions, and cultural background behind what someone is saying. I'm not a professional translator, and I'm still learning every day. But whenever I share something about Faye and Atom, I try my best to make sure that international fans can understand not only what was said, but also why it was said and what it means in a Thai cultural context. Reading that this helps you feel included in the conversations, humor, and special moments is truly encouraging. Thank you again, Risa, for recognizing the effort behind these translations and for sharing such a thoughtful perspective from South Africa. I'm glad we can continue learning from one another through our different languages and cultures. 🙏✨️

In Thai, the word "thum" (ทุ่ม), which is used to tell time in the evening and at night, originates from the sound of drums being beaten at night. In ancient Thailand, before clocks became widely available, government officials or the royal palace would use musical instruments to signal the time to the public. The day was divided into two main periods: 🌝 Daytime (7:00 AM – 6:00 PM): A gong was struck to announce the time. The sound of the gong (ฆ้อง) was described as "mong... mong..." (โมง), which is why the word "mong" became part of the Thai system of telling time during the day. 🌛 Nighttime (7:00 PM – 12:00 AM): Drums were beaten to announce the time. The deep, low sound of the drum was described as "thum... thum..." (ทุ่ม). The word is also associated with the action of striking the drum with a drumstick. This is why "thum" became the term used for evening and nighttime hours. However, there is one interesting exception! At midnight (12:00 AM), we don't say "hok thum" (หกทุ่ม), which would literally mean "six thum." Instead, we say "thiang khuen" (เที่ยงคืน), which means "midnight." 🌤️ Early Morning (1:00 AM – 5:00 AM): In traditional Thai timekeeping, the hours after midnight are expressed using the word "tee" (ตี), which literally means "to strike" or "to beat." The term comes from the traditional practice of striking a drum to announce the hours during the early morning. For example: 1:00 AM = Tee nueng (ตีหนึ่ง) 2:00 AM = Tee song (ตีสอง) 3:00 AM = Tee sam (ตีสาม) 4:00 AM = Tee see (ตีสี่) 5:00 AM = Tee ha (ตีห้า) At 6:00 AM, we say "hok mong chao" (หกโมงเช้า), marking the beginning of the daytime timekeeping system. So, the traditional Thai way of telling time is closely connected to the sounds of gongs and drums, reflecting how people measured time long before modern clocks became common. This is one of the fascinating ways in which Thai language, history, and traditional timekeeping are connected.

Atom wrote, "2 ทุ่ม" (song thum), which means 8:00 PM, not 2:00 PM. In Thailand, we have a unique way of telling time. We use the word "ทุ่ม" (thum) for evening hours, starting at 7:00 PM. Here's how it works: 1 ทุ่ม (nueng thum) = 7:00 PM 2 ทุ่ม (song thum) = 8:00 PM 3 ทุ่ม (sam thum) = 9:00 PM 4 ทุ่ม (si thum) = 10:00 PM 5 ทุ่ม (ha thum) = 11:00 PM So, when Atom says "2 ทุ่ม", she means 8:00 PM. This is part of the traditional Thai time-telling system, which is still widely used in everyday conversations in Thailand. #AtomPariya

Translation: Faye is reading the messages written in quotation marks. Faye: Whoa, this feels like reading a novel. “Once, I trampled on countless blades of grass, just to reach and water a single flower. In the end, that flower withered and fell. By the time I came to my senses, I realized that the grass I had trampled was already too damaged to ever recover. Sometimes, we become so focused on something far away that we forget to care for what has been right beside us all along.” Faye: This person says... “I once promised that I would stay right here and wait for you. No matter how long it took, I would wait. But in the end, that promise became something that only hurt me. You've already gone somewhere else to grow. You've been happy for such a long time now. And I'm happy for you. This is as far as I can accompany you. I give up.” Faye: What's happening to me? “Not seeing each other means creating no new memories together.” Faye: Sighs. “I will always wish you well, through every stage of your growth. Whether you grow in someone else's heart or on your own, I hope you bloom in your own season. You don't have to be the most beautiful flower for anyone. Just be the flower you want to be. That's enough.” Faye: Whoa... That's so touching. “You are still my favorite flower, but now you're growing in someone else's pot.” Faye: Whoa... Give me a second. (Faye gets up and steps away from the screen.) Faye: Listening to the music... It's so good. “You are still my favorite flower, but now you're growing in someone else's pot. I wish you all the best. I hope that person waters you with love and helps you grow. Don't worry. I'll be watching from a distance, quietly celebrating your achievements. This love has taught me so much. I've learned to step aside and let you grow in the pot you've chosen. I wish you happiness and good fortune on the path you've chosen.” Faye: The person who wrote this is a man, you know. That means he must be someone who's really... Faye: Whoaaa... “There is someone I've never forgotten, even though I no longer think about them. Somehow, they always find their way back into the deepest corners of my memories.” Faye: Whoa... This makes me want to write a book! “There are two kinds of journeys: A journey to create new memories, and a journey to forget something.” “All I can do is gaze at you from afar, knowing I can never hold on to you. Is this what goodbye means? I miss you all the time, you know, even on the days when you've become someone else's flower.” #FayePeraya

Translation: MC: Let's welcome the two stars of Love in the Fast Lane! Please say hello to everyone! Faye: Sawadi ka, I'm Faye Peraya. Atom: Sawadi ka, I'm Atom Pariya. MC: We can see that this series is set in an auto repair garage, with some really luxurious cars! So, tell us about the story. Faye: It's a romantic comedy about someone who's very dedicated to her work, lives a simple life, and has quite a serious personality. But then she meets a woman who's deeply into spiritual beliefs and superstitions. MC: So, not her type at all! Faye: Not at all! And Gale, the mechanic I play, is someone who lives simply and takes her work very seriously. She even has to work on the cars herself while keeping her true identity a secret. And that's where the love story begins, right there in the garage. MC: And what about our spiritually inclined girl? Atom: We clash from the very first day we meet! We immediately get into arguments because I have no idea she's actually the owner of the garage. It's going to be a really cute, playful romantic comedy between Gale the mechanic and Pakwan. MC: They sound like complete opposites! Faye: They're so different that you almost wonder whether they could ever fall in love! One doesn't believe in any of those spiritual practices, while the other believes in them so much that she even pays attention to which colors are lucky for each day! The series has a little bit of everything. It's fun, entertaining, and full of romance blossoming in an auto repair garage. Plus, we have other cast members who bring even more fun to the story. MC: Before we wrap up, would you like to say something to the audience about the series? Atom: Please look forward to Love in the Fast Lane! I promise everyone who watches it will have a great time. It's going to be fun, relaxing, and lighthearted. You'll definitely leave entertained! MC: Please give them your support! Let's give them a big round of applause! 💡 Understanding "Sai Mu" & "Mu Te Lu": Thai Spiritual Beliefs, Lucky Charms, and the Cultural Context Behind Love in the Fast Lane teapawt.org/juth/status/2118360091… FAYEATOM X IQIYI 2027 #iQIYIiJOYTH2027xFayeAtom

🇹🇭✨ Understanding "Sai Mu" (สายมู) and "Mu Te Lu" (มูเตลู): A Little Thai Cultural Context for International Fans As we get ready for Love in the Fast Lane, there's a Thai expression you'll probably hear quite often: "Sai Mu" (สายมู), which comes from the term "Mu Te Lu" (มูเตลู). Since Pakwan is described as a "Sai Mu" girl, I thought it would be fun to share a little cultural background to help international fans understand what this means. 🔮 What Does "Sai Mu" Mean? In Thailand, "Sai Mu" is a popular slang expression used to describe someone who believes in, enjoys, or actively practices spiritual traditions, supernatural beliefs, fortune-telling, lucky charms, and rituals believed to bring good fortune. The word "Sai" (สาย) can loosely mean a type of person, group, or someone who is particularly into something. So, calling someone "Sai Mu" is a playful way of saying that they're really into spiritual beliefs and good-luck practices. For example, a Sai Mu person might: 🍀 Wear lucky charms or sacred amulets for protection and good fortune. 💖 Visit temples or sacred places to pray for love, relationships, or career success. 🎨 Choose clothing or accessories based on the lucky color of the day. 🔮 Consult fortune-tellers or astrologers before making important decisions. 💰 Carry objects believed to attract prosperity, business opportunities, or financial success. Of course, not everyone who follows these practices believes in exactly the same things. Some take them very seriously, while others simply enjoy them as part of everyday Thai culture. ✨ Where Does "Mu Te Lu" Come From? The expression "Mu Te Lu" is commonly traced to an Indonesian supernatural horror film, Penangkal Ilmu Teluh, which was introduced to Thai audiences in 1979 under a title associated with "Mu Te Lu." The film dealt with occult practices and supernatural powers, giving the expression a much darker meaning in its early usage. Over time, however, the meaning evolved in Thailand. Rather than referring only to occult practices or black magic, "Mu Te Lu" gradually became a broader, more everyday expression associated with spiritual beliefs, lucky objects, blessings, and the pursuit of good fortune. 🌟 How Did "Sai Mu" Become So Popular in Thailand? The trend grew alongside the popularity of sacred amulets, protective talismans, lucky bracelets, and auspicious gemstones. As Thai celebrities, actors, and social media influencers began sharing their favorite lucky charms and spiritual practices, these traditions became increasingly visible, especially among younger generations. People became interested in objects and rituals believed to attract wealth, improve career opportunities, strengthen relationships, or provide protection. This also contributed to the growth of Thailand's modern "Mu Te Lu" culture, including spiritual tourism, lucky accessories, and businesses inspired by traditional beliefs. ❤️ So, What Does This Mean for Pakwan in Love in the Fast Lane? This is what makes the contrast between Pakwan and Gale so entertaining! Gale is practical, serious, hardworking, and doesn't believe in spiritual superstitions. Pakwan, on the other hand, is a Sai Mu girl who believes that even the color you wear on a particular day can influence your luck! One believes in logic and practical solutions. The other believes that a little spiritual guidance and good fortune can make a difference. And somehow, these two completely different worlds are about to collide in an auto repair garage! That's part of the charm of Thai romantic comedies: cultural differences, contrasting personalities, and unexpected love stories. So, whenever you hear the word "Sai Mu" in Love in the Fast Lane, you'll know that it's much more than simply being "superstitious." It's a playful expression connected to a rich and evolving part of Thai culture, where tradition, spirituality, hope, and everyday life often come together. 🇹🇭❤️ Just a little Thai cultural context from my perspective, to help international fans enjoy the story even more!

I'd never eaten banana som tam before. I only tried it because of you. You made me try it! If you eat it and don't cough, you'll turn into a "pop" (Thai ghost)! That would be fun! Faye: I'd better put my glasses on. My eyes are stinging. Faye: No no pogi, everyone! Atom: P'Faye Pogi! Atom: I can't keep up with the comments! Were you shocked earlier? (When Atom accidentally invited someone else onto the Live instead of Faye.) I gave you quite a surprise! Faye: I was really shocked! Atom: I was just as shocked! I think I need to take some more technology lessons. Faye: Me too. We're equally bad at this! Atom: Let's hold hands and go learn together! Was it comfortable when I massaged you? Faye: Yes, it was comfortable. Come here! I could really use someone to massage me right now! Faye: Are there any Filters? Atom: Yes, there are. Faye: We can choose a Filter. Atom: That's a frangipani flower. Faye: Let me put on a filter for a moment. I think I really need one. Atom: Don't let them know we're using filters! 🔸 Part 2: Missing Each Other Atom: I miss the birthday event. Faye: Hmm? Atom: I miss the birthday event. Faye: Really? Don't you miss me? Atom: Oh... Umm... How did we end up talking about this? Faye: Don't you miss me? Atom: I miss you. I miss you so much. I miss you even more than the birthday event. I miss you every single day. Faye: Okay, I'll consider that a good answer. 🔸 Part 3: Filters, Music and the New Series Faye: None of these Filters are cute! Atom: We should've chosen one yesterday! Atom: Your massage chair sounds like a machine! Faye speaks English. Atom: That's the sound of the massage chair! (laughs) Faye laughs. Faye: Let's listen to music. I'll play something for you. Here it comes! Faye plays music. Atom: Your voice is hoarse, and you're still going to sing? Faye: Are you excited? We're shooting the poster tomorrow! Atom: Very excited! Faye: I'm even more excited than you! Atom: I'm excited because we have to speak Northern Thai in this series. Faye: I've already asked for several alterations to your costume. Atom: Is it beautiful? Faye: As beautiful as the moon. Atom: Why? Faye: Because I'm listening to this song! Faye: Of course you're beautiful. You're always beautiful. Atom: Beautiful like the moon! Faye speaks English. 🔸 Part 4: Faye's Friends in the Industry Faye: Remember that day when I went to an event and met some of the Nong Nong. Everyone kept saying, "We're going to tell Atom!" Atom and I don't have any problems with each other, okay? Everyone in the industry knows each other. I mean, we have friends all across the industry. Do you understand? Whenever I do something, I always tell Nong about it. Atom: That's right. Faye: I tell her who I've met and what I've been doing. Atom: Everyone keeps saying, "Has Atom seen this yet?" and then they come and tell on you to me! Faye: While everyone is tagging Atom, she's just laughing! Atom: P'Faye wins by confessing first! Faye: I haven't done anything! Atom: Exactly! You haven't done anything because you confessed first, so you win! P'Faye has so many friends. They're all friends with each other. Faye: You should be asking what I actually do these days! Atom: You work! Faye: Just managing to pull me away from work is already a huge achievement! Atom: You work so much! Faye: Happy Halloween! Atom: Drink water. Faye: Thank you. 🔸 Part 5: Songs and Fan Communities Faye: Oh! Let's listen to this song instead. Sing this one for me! Faye plays music. Atom: You sing this song better than I do. Will it be like LINE, where you play music and my voice gets delayed? Faye: Try singing it! Atom tries singing and asks whether there's a delay. Atom: This song has such a beautiful meaning. You cried while listening to this song, didn't you? Faye: Yes, because this song reminds me of all the Fayemily. What are Aestiny and Fayemily to each other? Atom: Friends! Faye: Someone said the two fandoms together are called Festiny. Atom: Yes! Faye: Really? Atom: Fayetiny! Faye: Oh! Your fans are organizing an event for you on the 15th at your grandmother's café, right? Atom: Yes! On the 15th! I'm so excited and happy! Faye: I'm so happy for you! Thank you to all the Aestiny and Fayemily for supporting her. The two fandoms together are Fayetiny. Thank you for supporting her! Faye speaks English and thanks everyone for supporting Atom. Atom: Our fandom names are quite similar! Faye: Yes. Atom: Come and see me! Faye: If anyone misses Nong, go see her on the 15th. Aestiny is organizing a birthday event for her at her grandmother's café. 🔸 Part 6: Sunflowers from Atom's Grandmother Faye: Your grandmother planted sunflowers for me! I saw them! Atom: See? Who's the real grandchild here? Faye: Your grandmother planted thousands of them for me! Atom: Grandma took a picture and sent it to me. She told me to show it to you because she'd planted the sunflowers for you. But the photo came out blurry! Faye explains in English that Atom's grandmother planted sunflowers for her. Faye speaks English about taking Atom to get LASIK. Atom: I'm excited! I've never had it done before. Faye: Your Aestiny Based House... Which one is your main fan base? You have so many! Atom: So many! I see Destiny everywhere! That's why I'm excited that you'll get to see the sunflowers for the first time. Faye: Yes! Faye explains in English that this is a FayeAtom Live. Faye: You can call me P'Chin, P'Mali, Lily or P'Faye. Faye speaks English, questioning why people are mentioning someone else's name in a FayeAtom Live. Faye: I'm trying to ignore them, but it's annoying. Faye explains in English that she won't block them. 🔸 Part 7: Everyday Conversations Faye: P'Atom! P'Chin! Atom: I'm turning 25 soon, so I'll be P'Atom! Atom: Why can't I hear your music? Faye: You can't hear it? Atom: It's like you're the only one listening! P'Faye, have you used the ceramic item yet? Faye: Not yet. Atom: You have to use it in your new house! Faye: Okay. I've been arranging my room and organizing everything. Atom: What do you call those big, puffy sofas? Faye: Bean bag, bean bag. Atom: Why have I never heard anyone call it a Bean Bag? Faye: A bean bag! You know, the big, round, puffy one I put in my art room! Atom: I've never heard that word before! Atom: This song sounds familiar. Faye sings. Atom: You're sniffling! You've got a cold! Faye: Yes, a really bad one! Atom: I'm sure I caught your cold! Sure! See? Faye: Someone said, "Atom, I love you!" Atom: I love red. Atom: Everyone keeps saying, "Faye is mine!" Atom: Faye is mine! 🔸 Part 8: Faye Compliments Atom Atom: I need to put on a face mask so I'll look pretty tomorrow. Faye: Yes, but Nong is already beautiful. Atom: See? You never miss a chance. Faye: But Nong is already beautiful! You're beautiful every day. You're beautiful when you're asleep, and you're beautiful when you wake up. Atom: See? How do you spell "flirtatious"? (laughs) 💡 "How do you spell 'flirtatious'?" This is a playful Thai expression. When someone jokingly claims they don't know how to spell a word, they're implying that the word or behavior is completely unfamiliar to them. Here, Atom teasingly asks Faye how to spell "flirtatious," indirectly questioning whether Faye is being a flirt. Faye: Atom, I am not flirtatious! The flirtatious ones are Fayemily! Atom: You're a flirt. Such a sweet talker. Faye: Oh, come on! Whenever I compliment you and say, "You look beautiful today," you ask me, "So I wasn't beautiful yesterday?" Atom: You've learned, P'Faye! You're learning! Faye: See? Atom: See? Faye: Being flirtatious is so far from who I am! Atom: Yeah, as far apart as the beginning and the end of the same street! 💡 "As far apart as the beginning and the end of the same street!" Atom is being sarcastic. Faye insists that being flirtatious is completely unlike her, but Atom jokes that the distance isn't very far at all. In other words, she's teasing Faye for actually being quite flirtatious! 🔸 Part 9: Northern Thai and the New Series Faye: I can't wait to see your look in the series! Atom: Pakwan. (Her character's name.) Faye: Say something in Northern Thai for me! Atom: I'm not very good at speaking Northern Thai. Nong is from the North, but I don't really speak the dialect much. Faye: Really? Atom: Yes. Atom: I'm actually from Bangkok. I was born in Bangkok, but later moved to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. My mom can speak Northern Thai, even though she isn't originally from the North. My dad is from the North. Faye: You're a Northerner! Atom: I'll let P'Faye speak Northern Thai instead, in the series! We should ask them to write a scene where you come to make up with me by speaking Northern Thai! Faye: Pakwan, even if I don't want to do it, I still have to do it! They then reenact dialogue from a famous Thai drama, speaking in the Northern Thai dialect. 🔸 Part 10: Who Does Atom Belong To? Faye: Someone said, "Atom is mine!" Atom: That's not allowed! The company has rules! Faye speaks English. Atom: What are you talking about? Faye: I'm speaking on behalf of the CEO of Fabel. We have a rule that Atom cannot belong to anyone. Atom: See? Who's the boss here? Faye: The artist under the company, of course! 🔸 Part 11: A Song from Their First Live Atom: What was that song you used to play for me? Faye: Huh? Atom: The song from our very first Live together. The one I asked you to play! Faye: Can you remember the title first? Why don't you remember? That means you weren't paying attention! Atom: (laughs) I remember that the lyrics mentioned something about... belonging to someone! Faye: The song is called "หากว่าฉันได้ครอบครอง" (If I Could Have You). Remember that! Atom: You've told me so many times! The song is called "หากว่าฉันได้ครอบครอง." Faye sings. 🔸 Part 12: The After Party Faye: After Party! Did you have fun? Atom: Yes! I was sweating even more than when I performed onstage! Faye: I was exhausted too! I was running around everywhere! Atom: I wasn't tired! But you were running in every direction! Faye: There were clients too! I couldn't split myself into two people! I didn't know whether I was supposed to be an artist or a CEO! But it was so much fun! Atom: People were lying all over the floor! Faye: I was shocked! I thought, "Wow, did things really get that wild?" (Referring to fans who were drunk and lying on the floor.) Faye speaks English about whether there will be another After Party next year, adding that future events will keep improving. 🔸 Part 13: Atom's Father at the Party Faye: Your dad's "Happy!" (laughs) Atom: I never want to hear my dad say "Happy" again! Atom: I wish I could buy the word "Happy" from my dad and throw it away! Atom's father kept asking Faye whether she was happy. Faye: Your dad kept asking, "Happy?" all night long! Faye explains the situation in English. Atom: My parents didn't want to go home! 🔸 Part 14: Understanding Each Other Faye explains in English that fans don't need to worry about Atom. Atom understands that Faye has to take care of sponsors and clients. Faye says Atom understands her very well and that she has a good partner. Faye: Some people were asking, "Why weren't you taking care of Atom?" Atom: You were doing so many things at once! You were running around like crazy! Don't worry. We understand each other without even having to say anything. Faye: Yes! Someone asked why Atom wasn't drinking. Atom: I was drinking! Faye explains in English that Atom is strong and doesn't need to be looked after all the time. Atom understands her. She compares their connection to Bluetooth connected and describes it as a healthy relationship. Atom: i love green Atom: You had so many things to take care of that night. Faye: The clients kept calling me! Atom: You had to handle two roles at once. It's okay! I danced on your behalf! But judging from the videos, I guess I didn't need to dance for you after all! Faye: Exactly! 🔸 Part 15: Supporting Atom's Acting Career Faye speaks English about the new series. Faye: Atom will be taking workshops and attending classes. Atom: To build my acting skills. Faye explains in English that she will support Atom in every way because she is under Fabel. And Fabel is me. There's no way I wouldn't support Atom. but she has to be happy I won't do anything that makes her unhappy. Atom: That's so sweet! 🔸 Part 16: Their Younger Siblings Faye: Someone said Ampere looks just like Atom! (Ampere is Atom's younger brother.) Atom: Ampere is an extreme introvert! He gets really shy around people! Faye: My younger twin siblings... Now they're Atom's younger siblings too! Atom: We held hands, just like those three bears! Faye speaks English. 🔸 Part 17: Faye's Mother Dancing Faye: You got Mom dancing. Atom: Or maybe Mom just decided to dance on her own? Faye: "Om Ma Luek Kuek Kuey" (singing) Atom: Mom was like, "Here I come!" We were sitting there trying to find a song, wondering what we should dance to. Then Mom suddenly suggested, "Om Ma Luek Kuek Kuey!" And everyone just started dancing! Faye: Mom said Atom was so adorable! She said, "Nong is so adorable, my dear." That's what she told me. Atom: Mom is adorable too. At first, when she came over, I couldn't see her because I wasn't wearing my contact lenses. I couldn't see anyone clearly! Then, when everything was over, I suddenly realized, "Oh! It's Mom!" So I invited her to dance with me for one round! Faye: Mom kept saying how adorable Atom was. Atom: Mom was secretly touched by you, too. Faye: You started crying even before Mom did! Atom: I was trying so hard to stay quiet! But then your younger twin sister asked me, "Do you need a tissue?" And after that, I just burst into tears! Faye explains the situation to international fans in English. 🔸 Part 18: Saying Goodnight Faye: ok, it's 10 PM already. We need to go take a shower. I'm going to get back to work. Atom: Go take a shower first! Faye plays music. Atom: This song has such a lovely meaning. It's called "จังหวะจะรัก" by Violette Wautier. Faye says goodbye to all the fans in English. Atom: goodnight CEO Faye: goodnight, my clever girl! Atom: I'm going to apply lots of skincare cream! Faye: That's adorable! Just hearing you say you're going to put on cream is already cute! Faye and Atom: Bye-bye! #FayeAtom

I'm currently translating FayeAtom's TikTok Live from yesterday. Come watch me work on my TikTok! tiktok.com/@bluejayaugust

💡 Notes 1. The Thai use of "Mom" (คุณแม่ / แม่) In Thai culture, it's common to respectfully and affectionately address the mother of someone we know as Khun Mae (คุณแม่), meaning "Mom," even when she isn't our own mother. For example, when I meet a colleague's mother, I might naturally say, "How are you, Mom?" or "Would you like something to drink, Mom? I'll get it for you." In this conversation, "Mom" refers to Faye's mother, and Atom also calls her Mom. This reflects a familiar and affectionate Thai way of addressing an elder, rather than necessarily implying a biological or family relationship. 2. "Om Ma Luek Kuek Kuey" (โอม มะลึกกึ๊กกึ๋ยย์) This is a playful phrase from a well-known Thai pop song, Om Ma Luek Kuek Kuey, performed by child singer Natalie under GMM Grammy and released in 2001. 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=9o-kWSuU… Translation: Faye: You got Mom dancing. Atom: Or maybe Mom just decided to dance on her own? Faye: "Om Ma Luek Kuek Kuey" (singing) Atom: Mom was like, "Here I come!" We were sitting there trying to find a song, wondering what we should dance to. Then Mom suddenly suggested, "Om Ma Luek Kuek Kuey!" And everyone just started dancing! Faye: Mom said Atom was so adorable! She said, "Nong is so adorable, my dear." That's what she told me. Atom: Mom is adorable too. At first, when she came over, I couldn't see her because I wasn't wearing my contact lenses. I couldn't see anyone clearly! Then, when everything was over, I suddenly realized, "Oh! It's Mom!" So I invited her to dance with me for one round! Faye: Mom kept saying how adorable Atom was. Atom: Mom was secretly touched by you, too. #FayeAtom
