August Band (The August) (Thai: ออกัส ) is a Thai boy band that consists eleven members. They were discovered at the movie The Love of Siam (a Thai romantic-drama film written and directed by Chookiat Sakveerakul). Originally, the band was made for the movie but, they found themselves comfortable with each other so decided to pursue it into the Thai Entertainment Industry. At first, the band consisted of Pchy, Non, Nine, Tor, Em, Wan, Arm, Mike Ong, Mac, and Petch. Eventually, their managers added up Goo, Joker, Taw and summing up a total number of fourteen members. Hence, two of the original members namely Em and Mike withdrew due to personal issues and Goo (who was by then replaced by Tle) also left because of controversies. Recently, Joker had left the band to concentrate on his studies.
