He is usually the voice of reason and, being the most financially stable, the main patron in the quartet of BKL men especially when it comes to paying for food and nightlife.

She is usually aware of Pentor's plans and still has feelings for him, but is afraid to resume the relationship. * Kanthep is Porjai's current boyfriend (as of Season 2018). He sometimes participates in Pentor's antics, and their relationship is usually on a "lion and tiger" basis, meaning that they equally respect each other in terms of their man skills.
