This type of video, common on TikTok, is a compilation of clips and photos designed to highlight the allure of the idol in question. The edit Pond reposted was set to the explicit track “Batman” by LPB Poody. It also had a playful caption that read, “as many kids as he wants.” Check it out below.

Who is Pond Naravit?

Pond, a rising star in the Thai entertainment industry, was born on February 1, 2001, in Bangkok, Thailand.
