Bangkok: The countdown to meeting their baby is almost over for Foam Benjamas, the wife of actor James Jirayu. She’s over 8 months pregnant with their first child, a baby boy, and recently went live to chat with fans, updating them on her pregnancy and the expected delivery date, which is January 2026.

According to Thai News Agency, during the live stream, a comment criticized Foam for her speech style, saying, “Why are you so abrupt in your speech? You barely use polite language.” Foam responded calmly, stating, “I don’t know. That’s how I grew up. Whether I’m abrupt or not doesn’t hurt anyone, right?”

Following her response, netizens explained that the “abrupt” speech perceived by some is actually a norm in northern Thailand, particularly in provinces like Lampang and Phrae. This style, known as “oo-kom,” involves speaking quickly and concisely. While it may sound harsh, it is not intended to be impolite.
