- In 2023, Manit took to Instagram to share a childhood memory. In the post, he described how his father once supported him while he rode a horse, and two days after that, Manit offered to help his father ride a horse to which his father laughed and said he’d ride a horse that Manit would buy when he grew up. Years later, Manit bought a mare named Poetry and offered to assist his father in horse riding. His father, however, chuckled and suggested that Manit should ride the horse instead, stating that he would look better doing so.
