As someone who believes in the power of education, motivation, and healthcare, PingAnn continues to find innovative ways to inspire and inform people within these areas, which is one of the reasons that led him to found his motivational Facebook Page, known as “Think with PingAnn”. After working on this for just a little over a year, he has gained quite a positive and popular reputation as a motivational speaker, which is the primary reason that inspired him to host this first ever “Meet and Motivate” session. According to PingAnn, he is focusing on the Life-Motivation aspect in this particular event through 3 storyselling and metaphors with the first being a story about Self-Love, followed by a story of Self-Value, and finally a story about pushing through the barriers to achieve one’s goals.

Standing in the middle of the room talking to 120 young people who have been following his works through his Facebook Page, PingAnn invited a few of the participants to join him in the roleplay for each story and metaphor. With laughter and almost-tears, the participants were able to resonate with the messages he was trying to send out.

As the conclusion of the event, PingAnn spent some times taking individual photos and having one-on-one conversations with the participants who were seeking for more advice.

It is believed that this event is the first stepping stone for PingAnn to inspire, in person, more and more Cambodian people who are looking for positivity in their lives given how hard and exhausting life can be. #MotivateWithPingAnn

“Pee Nak” the horror and comedy film is Director by Achira Nokthet, and Actors by Chinawut Indracusin, Chutima Naina, Wachara Pan-Iom, Paisarnkulwong Vachiravit, Puvadol Vechwongsa and Jannine Parawie Weigel.

“Pee Nak” telling the story of Nong, First and Balloon, three Thai men who are trying to get ordained as monks, each for their own hilarious reasons. However, the old temple in the outskirts of the city is home to a terrifying legend.

It is said that those who choose to undergo ordination there will be face the wrath of the “Pee Nak”spirit and die before the ceremony is completed. Will they be able to successfully become monks? What is it that the spirit truly wants from them?

According to the director, he got the idea for the movie from his own experience with monkhood.

I was wondering why, in the process of becoming a monk, a young man has to become a “Nak” first – a pre-monkhood stage that everyone has to go through. I did some research and found out that “Nak” came from the legend of Naga.

The legend revolves around Naga, a mythical snake that took on the form of a human man in order to become a monk. However, his disguise was discovered and Lord Buddha ordered him to leave the monastery, as only humans were allowed to become monks.

This brought great sorrow to Naga, whose last request before leaving was that every man who’s about to become a monk be called “Nak”  (a variation of Naga) in his honor, so that at least his name would forever remain a part of Buddhism.

While the Pee Nak spirit in the movie is based on the legend, it won’t be a direct portrayal of Naga.

Naga from the original legend serves as a positive reminder of faith and perseverance. Meanwhile, Pee Nak is filled with anger and constantly trying to take the lives of every “Nak”  who’s ordained at the temple he haunts.

Through a careful build-up of atmosphere, ambient sounds, and attention to detail, the movie manages to create a spirit that’s simultaneously intimidating and sacred. Sure it takes on the appearance of a rotten corpse which is terrifying in itself, but it’s not just how it looks that’ll scare you.

In fact, not seeing the spirit can be just as scary. Just catching a glimpse of its hand or hearing the jingling of its anklets is enough to send chills down your spine.

At the same time “Pee Nak” gets a lighthearted touch from the various comedic moments throughout the movie.

This definitely makes for a refreshing change from the super serious horror movies we are used to. From the trailer itself, we can see how the comedic scenes and witty dialogue are an integral part of the movie. It’ll definitely be an enjoyable watch that even non-horror fans will be able to enjoy.
