Hundreds of fans of singer ''Big'' from the boyband D2B flocked to蜂擁而至 Siriraj hospital(馬依多爾大學Mahidol University 詩里拉吉醫院) yesterday to bid farewell to the 25-year-old vocalist, who died of a blood infection血液感染 after lying comatose for four years. The hospital ground was packed with young fans who mourned and wept over the death of Paranawat Kittikorncharoen, better known as Big, a member of the boyband trio D2B.






Big was diagnosed with a fungal infection of the brain 確診為真菌感染腦部 after dirty water entered his lungs 肺積水when his car plunged into a roadside ditch 開車陷入路溝邉in Samut Prakan province巴幹省沙沒 on July 22, 2003.

After a series of brain operations and treatment lasting months, the singer was discharged from hospital出院 and has been nursed by his parents since then.

On Nov 30, Big was admitted to Siriraj hospital for a lung infection, but did not response to treatment and died yesterday, only six days after his family and fans celebrated his 25th birthday.

Udom Kittikorncharoen, Big's father, said he had prepared himself for the loss of his son as his condition had deteriorated.

''We have done our best to take care of him over the past four years,'' he said. Big was a patient under Her Majesty the Queen's patronage.

Woravej Danuwong and Kawee Tanjararak, the other two members of the band, returned from Surat Thani province, where they were on a concert tour, to attend their best friend's funeral at Wat Namdaeng in Samut Prakan's Bang Phli district.

The temple was packed with Big's fans and people from the entertainment business. Mourners queued to enter a small pavilion where the body was placed for religious rites.

Police boosted security to provide safety for funeral guests, said Samut Prakan police chief Wittaya Prayongphan.

A 15-year-old girl who travelled from Bangkok to attend the funeral said Big's departure was one of the saddest incidents in her life.

The girl, calling herself Kat, said she had never missed a D2B concert since the band was formed in 2001.

Nichada Jitngamsujarit, 16, also from Bangkok, said she liked all of D2B's songs, but her favourite was Ter Jeb, Chan Jeb (You Hurt, I Hurt).

The song was composed after Big entered a coma, and has become a theme song which Big's fans and the two members of the band sing for him at every concert.

Nareerat Traiyasuth, a 40-year-old fan, said she had followed Big's condition because her 20-year-old daughter was a big fan.

''Now I've become a fan too. I always believed that he would recover and sing again. I never thought that he would die so soon,'' she said.

名人之死 Merchants of death (Big,Parnrawat Kittikorncharoen D2B - บิ๊ก ดีทูบี)

Thais are as good as anyone else at spying an opportunity to make money, and the death of a celebrity is no exception.

Six days have passed since the death of 'Big' of boyband D2B, at the age of 25 from a blood infection.

Within hours of his body being moved from a Bangkok hospital to Nam Daeng temple in Samut Prakan, merchants had arrived with their handcarts to cater to mourners.

The boy's parents are holding funeral rites for the boy for 100 days, to give fans a chance to visit the temple and pay their respects. The temple is packed daily, according to news reports, with some fans coming from as far as Singapore.



Merchants are doing well out of mourners' grief, with Big (บิ๊ก ดีทูบี หรือ ปารณวัฐ กิตติกรเจริญ) souvenirs including t-shirts and badges doing a roaring trade.



Lottery vendors also report brisk trade in tickets which bear numbers relating to the boy's age, or the date of his death.

The most popular numbers are those ending in 25 (his age), 52 (the same numbers reversed), and 925 (the time of his death - 9am - and his age). The price of a set of eight tickets has shot up from 900 baht to B1500 baht.

Single tickets bearing those numbers have risen in price from B100 to B110-120, with vendors having to order in more just to keep up with demand.

Most customers hoping Big's death will bring them good luck are his teenage fans, and locals.
