Then, Beam traveled to Australia to study English program from Queensland College Of English for about six months.
In 2005, Beam and Dan come back as duo band Dan-Beam. Their album had received positive feedback just like D2B did, but, finally, they announced the termination of D2B on October 25, 2007. Their last special album "DB2B (Dan-Beam to Big)" was also the charity album for Big's family.
In 2008, Beam's solo album was released. Furthermore, he was assigned as the first WWF Ambassador of Thailand[4] for three years continuously to participate in many environmental events,[5] such as Earth Hour.[6]
A year before termination of RS's contract in 2010, Beam was suspended by RS. So, he began to spend two years looking after his own business Trip Buster Ltd, which was closed down in 2013.
