Mum Jokmok

Among Mum's movies during 2006-07 is The Bodyguard 2. The movie is a prequel that tells the story of his character Khumlao and how he came from the fictional country of Nongwaileum to work in an undercover police assignment in Thailand. His character posed as a luk thung singer named Mummy Lao, so in addition to action and comedy, the film features singing and dancing. Mum also featured in another movie in 2007 called Kuu Raet (The Odd Couple), where he played the role of a ladyboy.

Mum wrote, directed and starred in 2005's Yam Yasothon (Hello Yasothon), in which returned to his roots as a nightclub comedian for a musical romantic comedy set in rural northeastern Thailand in 1967. It was an homage to the Thai musical comediess of the 1960s and '70s, especially the films of Mitr Chaibancha and Petchara Chaowarat. The dialogue was entirely in the Isan Lao dialect, and for screenings in Bangkok it Thai subtitles so that central Thais could understand it more easily. In the Thailand National Film Awards, Yam Yasothon received a best-actress nomination for Mum's co-star, Janet Kheaw.

Mum also has shown a flair for dramatic acting. In 2005, he starred in Midnight My Love (Cherm), as a loner taxi driver who has a relationship with a massage parlor girl. Cherm was screened at the 10th Pusan International Film Festival and other festivals. Mum was nominated for best actor at the 2005 Thailand National Film Awards. His co-star, Woranut Wongsawan, was nominated for best actress.

He is often seen in smaller roles as well, including the hit 2005 Thai comedy The Holy Man (Luang Phii Theng), as well as an uncredited role in Dumber Heroes, a part he says he did for "a case of beer".

At the end of 2005 Mum starred in Ghost Variety (Pee Chalui), a comedy-horror story in which he plays the director of a reality TV series that searches for spirits in haunted places. The film was released on December 29, 2005. The film was directed by Adirek "Uncle" Wattaleela, a veteran producer and director, and it featured guest appearances from many Thai film directors and producers, including Somsak Techaratanaprasert, Prachya Pinkaew, Piak Poster, Cherd Songsri, Yuthlert Sippapak.

His first starring film role was in 2001's Killer Tattoo, the debut film of director Yuthlert Sippapak. A story about a group of bumbling hitmen, his character was called Dog Badbomb.
