Bangkok: Actor Mike Pataradetch has hinted at some exciting news and a surprise next month, leaving fans guessing whether he will move into a new home or marry his long-time partner, actress Pooklook Fonthip, first.

According to Thai News Agency, Mike has been making mortgage payments on their marital home for two months and plans to have it ready by June. The couple, who have been publicly dating for several years, announced last October that they were building a large house worth over 70 million baht, excluding decorations. This project is a joint effort, which lightens the financial load for both. They didn't set a specific budget, opting instead for practicality over luxury, with a clear division of labor in the design phase. Mike focuses on ideas for the fitness room and bar, while Pooklook takes charge of the overall design, ensuring it doesn't become too romantic.

Despite occasional disagreements, Mike insists he often concedes for the sake of harmony, though he asserts he's not afraid of Pooklook. He describes her as much kinder than people perceive. This year, he plans to stand up for her on occasion and not always yield to avoid misconceptions about their relationship dynamics. Mike humorously mentioned practicing arguments in front of a mirror, though he hasn't needed to use these skills yet.

As for the anticipated good news regarding their marriage, Mike suggested waiting until February for a surprise, though he remains tight-lipped about specifics. Surprising Pooklook proves challenging, as she tends to know his intentions. To ensure success, he coordinates with family and household members. Regarding their future, they haven't planned for a child's room yet, as the topic hasn't been discussed. Mike remains silent on whether a wedding or house move will occur first.
