Sunday 22nd February 2009
On the event of 18th Subhanahongsa Awards on Feb. 22 in Bangkok, Tony Jaa was at the event for his Best Actor nomination from Ong Bak 2. Moreover, he was sporting a new haircut and a new elegant suit. Not enough, Tony Jaa had changed his first name from Panom Yeerum to Thatchakorn Yeerum, and this was the very hot topic that news reporters asked him in the interview rather than about his nomination. Tony Jaa said that his new name and new haircut was some new auspicious thing for him.

Q: What is about the proceeding of Ong Bak 3 ?
A: Ong Bak 3 will double or triple the action when comparing with Ong Bak 2. About the budget for this project, it depends on Sia Jieang. But I think he is a real sport man to finance this large-scaled movie. However, I wont get myself into money management like I used to do because I already learn a lesson. I have to do new things for myself such as changing haircut and my first name.
Q: What is your new first name, and why you change it ?
A: It is Thatchakorn Yeerum. I change it because I believe in better fortune. The meaning of this new name is the great inventor endowed with generosity and faith. I select this name from a list of names because I feel best with it. I feel that it suits a new characteristic of my character in Ong Bak 3 that is to turn from the dark side into the white side.
Q: And what about your old name Panom Yeerum which is more well-known to every one ?
A: I keep this name as my actor name. I will still be Jaa Panom to my fans around the world, to my parents and to elephants as well.
