On Aug. 2, Pond (Pond Naravit Lertratkosum) and Phuwin (Phuwin Tangsakyuen) successfully held their Rendezvous fan concert in the Philippines, which marked the Thai BL (Boys’ Love) pair’s first official show in the country.
Serving as the last stop of the tour, Pond and Phuwin gave their all during performances, and the crowd made sure to match that energy. Even when Pond and Phuwin weren’t on stage and pre-recorded videos featuring scenes from their series were showing, the cheers were unmatched.

“We’re so grateful Manila was our last stop,” said the boys.
It was an intimate show, like a casual gathering where PondPhuwin and their fans talked about their interactions, with the boys asking if the audience had ever been to the GMMTV building in Bangkok before and if this was their first time seeing them live on stage.
PondPhuwin’s Rendezvous fan concert truly lived up to its name, giving fans a chance to interact with the duo while enjoying performances that showcased their dancing skills and vocal prowess.
Pond and Phuwin performed “You and Me” and “Me and You” from their series Peach and Me and Me and Thee, respectively. Pond also took the stage with a solo performance of “Take It Off,” while Phuwin performed “All In,” among other songs.

When the duo asked the fans whether they preferred comedy or drama, the crowd screamed for both. The boys then realized that fans love anything as long as it features them. Whatever Pond and Phuwin are singing or whichever genre they are acting in, their fans support them no matter what. This was evident whenever a song started on stage; fans screamed consistently as soon as they heard the melody or beat drop, cheering in excitement to finally see and hear them perform live.
Before the show came to an end, Phuwin told the crowd, “The tour has been a journey for us. It’s been around nine months since we performed everything in Bangkok. We didn’t imagine we would come this far with this fan concert. We’re really grateful we’re here today for our last stop,” adding that he felt the Rendezvous fan concert served its purpose well by bringing fans together in different places.

Pond shared, “We had a really good memory during the Rendezvous journey. Thank you for supporting us since the beginning. I hope you had a good memory. We hope to come back to see you again. Thank you for always supporting us.”
Pond and Phuwin concluded the nearly two-hour show with “You’re My Star,” telling fans they are ready to move into their next chapter together—to space. The fans sang along with their phone flashlights on, creating an incredible atmosphere throughout the venue.

The show reminded everyone in attendance that the artists they support aren’t just good at portraying emotions on screen, but are equally skilled at delivering emotion, talent and hype live on stage through their vocals and dancing. Their performances were elevated by a live band on stage, making the entire show even more extraordinary.
