Following the success of Phoo Kong Yod Rak, Kiatkamol took part in AF's first musical production "Ngern Ngern Ngern," for which he received a positive review from Bangkok Post for his singing, calling his version of Classical love songs alongside his partner in the performance "arresting and transporting."

Kiatkamol stated in an interview that this was a difficult job for him and that Kongdej had assisted him greatly in understanding the character. As the filming went, he grew accustomed to having two left arms and thought it looked unique. By the end of the shoot, he had been so engaged in the character that when his "extra" arm was removed, he felt something was missing.
