Mai Hlap Mai Non (Thai, Saturdays)
This is the entertainment program on our Changkhui podcast station. A place where we talk freely on things that make us up all days and nights such as movies, TV series, music, books, magazines and novels. Our hosts are Gan and Ood, they spend a lot of time discussing the topics that we think they deserve a program of their own. For those who do not know, "Mai Hlap Mai Non" is a phrase, meaning "sleepless"; HLAP is pronounced as Lup, as in cup.
- MaiHlapMaiNon: 53. Based on True Stories
- Direct Download
- MP3 27 MB 58 minutes - May 30, 2009
- Same casts of podcasters in this episode as in the previous one. We simply recorded this back-to-back. This time we mentioned about movies, which were based on true stories. Some were very old and well-known, such as the untouchables, some were new and relatively unknown such as Freedom Fighters. Anyway, it's really a matter of friends talking about movies they enjoyed.
- MaiHlapMaiNon: 52. Inspiring Movies
- Direct Download
- MP3 34 MB 1 hour 13 minutes - May 23, 2009
- A group of 6, that should be a record. Six of us talked about various movies that were supposed to be inspiring. It was supposed to, but some of us had very different inspirations, judging from the selection. Most were quite old, thank god, we had Thanaraj who saw so many movies that he could chimed in some new ones.
- MaiHlapMaiNon: 51. Van Halen
- Direct Download
- MP3 24 MB 53 minutes - May 16, 2009
- With feedback from the Queen episode, Ood was inspired to do another music episode. This time, though, he could not find a musician to help, so we had to settle with song samples. Van Halen, a legendary band of the 80s, had long been one of Ood's idols. We would like to thank Warner Music Group for the courtesy of samples of Van Halen's.

- MP3 27 MB 59 minutes - April 11, 2009
- Due to Gan's medical problem, we had record an ad-hoc episode. Since we had asked Wiroon to join us, we might as well use him as test case. Wiroon tended to like horror/thriller movies so we asked what he liked. Most of the movies were old, and might appear repeatitive to some listeners. However, the joy of discussion should make up for it.
- MaiHlapMaiNon: 49. Queen, part 2
- Direct Download
- MP3 18MB 39 minutes - March 28, 2009
- The response we received at our webboard on the previous episode must have had a big impact to Ood. He scheduled another recording with a very talented musician, Golf. Queen was a legendary band and Ood had been idolizing them since his teenage years. Instead of just playing some of their songs, Ood went one step further by singing those songs himself. Talking about nerve! This could be an irritating episode for those who wanted to listen to some serious review or comments on the band. We just had had too good time with the record so much so that we had to split into 2 episodes. This was the final episode on Queen.

- MP3 24MB 53 minutes - March 14, 2009
- Out of the blues, Ood requested for a recording. This time, Passakorn proposed a topic since both Gan and Ood felt like recording but had no topic. During school holidays, Passakorn had a hard time, finding movies for children, so he asked if both could come up with movies recommendations for Children. Ood still managed to steer the topics out of the way from time to time.

- On the previous three episodes, Ood sneaked out, recording without Gan. This time around, Gan took revenge by recording with Ood and managed to get a listener to help her out. Tum, a long-time listener, talked about some not-so-main-stream TV series that she enjoyed. She must have enjoyed them all right, since she brought along some DVD to show us. There series were Criminal Minds, Foyles War, House MD, Lewis and The Lost Room.

After moonlighting for a few years as an interpreter, he left the job to set up a joint-venture company between Sahapattanaphibul group and a Japanese group and has been there ever since.

- MP3 26MB 57 min. - March 29, 2008
- We put a tribute to our beloved writer, Arthur C. Clarke. We also invited our long-time listener, Zybernav to share some stories. As usual, Ood would steer the team off topic to whatever he was thinking of at the time. Pattanapong and Zybernav prepared some useful for the show as well as some pretty good comment from Piyatad.

Thanaraj (Bay) was a professional photographer and he would co-host his photos with a well-known sound designer, Koichi Shimatsu, at Queen Sirikit Art Exhibition Center near Panpha bridge, so we invited him over to talk about the exhibition.

- Jing, Ood and friends went to Pai in November, therefore, Ood took the opportunity to share the trip experience with photos. You would need to use either iTunes or Quicktime to view the file to enjoy it. Although, the converation, at times, was somewhat personal, but it was funny nonetheless.

- MP3 18MB 1hr 17 min. - September 1, 2007
- While Sutin and Passakorn drove to Phuket, the topic came to their minds; what kind of songs they played when they drove on their own. So each picked 10 albums and compared notes, it turned out that they had nothing in common, in terms of music selection. It was quite hard to believe that Sutin would pick Iron Maiden when he drove.
- MaiHlapMaiNon 37: Thai Songs in the 80s (2) and Lights Out in London
- Direct Download
- BitTorrent Download
- MP3 14MB 59 min. - August 25, 2007
- We recorded the 2nd episode of Thai songs in the 80s right after the 1st one, but decided not to launch it, frankly, due to the facts that we were singing even worse than the 1st one. And then we recorded an ad-hoc episode about a guy who were in London during a blackout evening, Ood was entertaining as usual, but the episode was rather short, so we decided to combine both and make a special episode out of the two. Hope you enjoy it.
- Mai Hlap Mai Non 36: Ghost
- Direct Download
- BitTorrent Download
- MP3 9MB 39 min. - August 18, 2007
- It must have itched Ood somewhat to come up with this topic. It started with a post on our webboard about wanting to hear Changkhui talk about ghosts. But we had talked about it in the Changkhui program, so Ood took it in his own hand and launched it in Mai Hlap Mai Non. This was more towards the Bhuddhist approach, rather than the scientific approach in Changkhui.
- Mai Hlap Mai Non 35: Heroes
- Direct Download
- BitTorrent Download
- MP3 12MB 25 min. - August 11, 2007
- a little-known TV series named Heroes. It started as Pattanapong's posting on our webboard on how interesting the series seemed to be. And then, as usual, Wikanda became the de facto distributor, spreading words of mouths on the series. Sutin also seemed to like it. Since the series only had one season as of 2007 so there was not much to say and spoil our listeners, let's just say that this was one series worth watching.

Zad Zad was formed a few months ago and mentioned our Changkhui site as one of their inspiration, we were quite thrilled and honor to hear that so we would like to know more about them and this should be a great opportunity to promote their site, not that we were very popular! At the moment, the site had 2 podcasts; one was Ezy China, anything about China, and Z Toon, anything about cartoons. You may visit them at http://www.zadzad.com

- Aum won 2 tickets from Air Asia, he went searching for a partner for the trip but no one took it so he had to do it alone. After a long deliberation, he decided to go to China, simply because he was too bored of New York, London and Munich (yes, I was being sarcastic here). He went to Xiamen in June and came back with an impressive story of the local hospitality he experienced there. This was the 2nd and final part of the series.

- It was obvious from the episode that Ood really had a lot of free time, he watched quite a few Thai drama series. The three commented about the ongoing TV series during the time. Gan was up to date as usual, but it was still Ood, who seemed to know the hottest actresses on TV.

- BitTorrent Download
- M4A 18MB 1hr 11min - June 16, 2007
- Pakabutr took us to EMI Music (Thailand) to talk to a BLUR fan, Samkwan Tonsompong. BLUR was a British band that was famous during the 90s, in the same era as Oasis. Therefore, the BLUR-Oasis comparison would come up during the conversation from time to time. I must admit that I never listened to or knew BLUR before this episode. Nonetheless, the songs that Samkwan played during the episode were quite interesting and not that over the edge for my taste. Hope you enjoy it.

Rud led the team in explaining some history of the songs, a few were inaccurate, but it was not interrupted due to the flow of the conversation. Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did. It was so enjoyable that we had to break it into 2 episodes.

Too bad, Ood was MIA again, due to scuba diving in Burma, but we managed to get Aum to join the discussion. This was the first MLMN episode in video, but, we did not to want to exhaust your internet connection, so we still put the MP3 file in the feed and you can see Google VDO on our site.

This list is provided on this link, http://www.cupress.chula.ac.th/bestbook.htm. We felt very incompetent since we all combined to having read about 20 books in total, a few were totally unheard of.
