Kakai and some friends recently went to Thailand, where they met up with Mario and his manager. That was where the online photos came from.
Kakai is vocal about her friendship with Mario, who has broken up with long-time girlfriend Gubgib Sumontip.
“If it’s destined to happen, it will happen. But right now, I’m happy for the friendship. I’m very lucky to have a friend like you not because you are a superstar but because you are a good person,” Kakai said.
Mario, for his part, always had good words for Kakai, especially when they were promoting “Suddenly It’s Magic,” where many people noticed how close they are.
