BamBam finished his recent world tour in May, and will make a comeback in July followed by a showcase tour starting in August, and fans believe his schedule is too swamped.
"Twice in less than a month he has said, 'I want to rest'," a fan wrote on X. "Why does he have to ask so much? Stop treating him like a money bag and take care of him."
Earlier this month, BamBam, 27, posted on X: "I really, really want to rest".
When a fan responded: "Take a couple of weeks to do nothing, sleep or spend time with your family," the Thai singer-rapper responded: "If they let me…"
if they let me...

BamBam apologised for worrying fans in another Story update yesterday and assured them he will be "okay".
He wrote that has been under "a lot of pressure and stress" over the last year and his body hasn't been feeling well "for a long time now", and so he sometimes gets "sensitive and emotional".
"I'll do my best this year and will find my time to rest," he added.

Yuri from Girls' Generation has come under fire for some dangerous photos she took on a trip to Jeju Island.
A now-deleted Instagram post she made on July 24 showed her standing and lying on breakwater structures called tetrapods.
According to Brighthub Engineering, tetrapods are four-legged concrete structures that come together to form an "interlocking, porous barrier" and " dissipate the force of incoming waves by making the water flow around rather than against them".
However, because they have large gaps, someone could fall in between the structures and get trapped. According to South Korean media, the country's Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries designated them as "dangerous zones" in 2020 and people trespassing on them could face fines of up to 1 million won (S$970).
Fans expressed their worries for Yuri, 34, before her Instagram post was deleted, reportedly commenting: "Tetrapods are dangerous, don't go up there!"
K-netizens on anonymous forum Theqoo criticised her, with some saying these areas tend to have warning signs against climbing onto the tetrapods.
"I don't understand why she went in despite the warnings posted everywhere, and then even uploaded it to Instagram," a netizen wrote.
Others also feared that fans may try to copy her dangerous behaviour.
A netizen wrote: "When celebrities post things like this, a lot of regular people try to imitate them."
"Wow, there are so many people who really don't know about this," another commented. "There needs to be a large-scale campaign [warning about it]. Please, it's dangerous, never go there!"
