Sometimes it´s Surachat Hakpan. In this article it´s Sarachete och Surachate Hakparn??? We all know that this man work as if he would be more than 3 persons, but I bet on that he only goes by one name. Oouch, sorry! Betting was illegal, right? I think that everything just comes down to one Big Joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
