Weee.. Mario and Pchy in a Controversy??!!

     One of the factors contributing to The Love of Siam's success is the chemistry between Mew and Tong, played by Mario Maurer, now a rising star in Thailand. Pitch told reporters Mario and him are just good friends. He credited film editing for the good chemistry displayed on-screen. "We are not that sweet to each other," Pitch laughed. "Usually, when having dialogue in the movie, we were facing different cameras." On the movie set, Pitch's eyes usually met the film crews, who made sure he made the right expression.

SNOB?

Because Pitch had initially expressed his discomfort with fame, some reporters interpreted that he did not like the entertainment business.
Chukiat Sakweerakul who has become his mentor told Lips magazine that "Pitch is very direct with his facial expression, when he is tired or bored, his facial expression just shows."Chukiat has taught Pitch that "You study Journalism and Communications, it would be strange if you say you don't like fame!"

Now, Pitch has adjusted to his life as a public figure.

Music

     Pitch continues to sing on stage regularly with his band, August.
To create widespread awareness about the campaign, Dove has invited Pitch and Chukiat Sakweerakul to compose and sing a very special song entitled "Chao Wan Mai" (Better Morning). The song was composed especially for Dove and reflects Dove’s commitment to empowering women, for them to gain more self-confidence, feel good about their ownselves, and encourage them into making something good for themselves and society every morning. The CD, which is not for sale, will be given to women throughout Bangkok, together with Dove Therapy System with Repairing Serum samples

     August Band also appeared in a TV commercial for Mama instant noodles.
The public, of course, demands more appearances from Pitch. However, Pitch wants to concentrate on his studies: "If the job offered is in conflict with my studies, I won't take it." Chukiat who is also songwriter and producer for August told Lips Magazine that Pitch really feels part of August band and he would not take job offers that ask him to go solo. As Thai schools are in summer break between March - Early June 2008, August (whose members are all students) has held several mini-concerts in Bangkok. The Band also played an auditorium concert in Chiang Mai on April 5–6, 2008.

     Spending most of their weekends practicing music, the August Band continues to perform on stage regularly. The band plans to release their second album in October–November 2008. August's new album has been named "Radiodrome." The first single "Sunshine" has been aired on radio starting from August 27, 2008 (on FMMax 94.5) and September 1, 2008 (for all radio stations). The full album "Radiodrome" was released in December 2008. August held a lot of miniconcerts in Bangkok and also one in Chiang Mai. The Band successfully held their first big concert "August Let's Swing Aha! Aha!" on March 7, 2009 in Main Hall, JJMall.

     Pitch also sings a theme song for a stage play by his university faculty. The stage play is called "Dear Passenger" and start showing in September 2008. The theme song is called Peek (Wings).
The popularity of Pitch/August Band has spread to countries like China, Indonesia, The Philippines, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam and USA. Witwisit Hiranyawongkul has been performing with the August Band at numerous countries across Asia.
In November 2010, August Band released their brand new single, Summer.
