You'll never guess what some well-known Thais do on the side

Not everything is what it seems when it comes to defining someone by their occupation. For example, Itthipat Kulapongvanich made some serious cash by selling online game items before he became the CEO of seaweed enterprise Taokaenoi. Pleum Leekpai is the energetic, funny and politically incorrect co-host of TV show VRZO but he also wore a tie and looked professional during his time as an assistant to a Ministry of Culture spokesperson. And even Superman works as a reporter named Clark Kent when he isn't fighting villains and saving the world.
The collective message of these people is that you shouldn't limit yourself to just one pursuit. Here are seven Thais who haven't allowed themselves to be defined by a single role. We hope you'll be inspired by their stories to take on a different role in life (the first step being to finish this article).
