CHONBURI, Feb 14 (TNA) – The local barber of the Prince of Brunei who played for the Chonburi Football Club became well-known overnight and was overwhelmed with a long waiting list of customers.

 

The popularity happened to Theerapat Mangmee, the 28-year-old barber, after he had posted a picture of Bruneian Prince Faiq Jefri Bolkiah's visit to his barber shop in Muang Chon Buri district for his service. Despite the long queue of customers and his popularity, he confirmed that he would maintain his 250-baht fee for a haircut and 300 baht for a haircut plus a hair wash.

 

Mr Theerapat said the special interest in his service revived him after COVID-19 had hit his occupation heavily and his barbershop had been very quiet.

And I thought this was a musical, based on the Barber of Seville.
