He is also urging his young fans to avoid the evils of illicit drug-taking, after Sek's estranged wife published pictures of him allegedly smoking methamphetamines.
The rocker's label, Grammy Entertainment, told reporters it was unhappy about the pictures appearing on Facebook of a man resembling Sek, smoking drugs.
A woman who identified herself as his wife of almost 20 years, Wiphakorn "Kan'' Sukpimai, posted the images.

"I love my wife and kids just like anyone else.''
In the early days of the dispute, Grammy had trouble contacting its singing star.
By Thursday, however, Sek had issued a seven-point apology on Facebook to Kan, his entertainment bosses and fans.
"I don't want to go into detail about those pictures, but it is enough to say that I am older than my fans and should know better,'' he wrote.
"I promise on the name of my wife and children that I will never let myself get into a ituation like this again.
"As for my former wife, I would ask her to stop our fighting. I have never loved anyone as much as you,'' he wrote.
The dispute started when pictures of a man resembling Sek appeared on Facebook, smoking what the poster says was marijuana and ya ice (methamphetamines).
On her Facebook page, Kan accused Sek of throwing herself and their three children out of their home, breaching the terms of a separation agreement, mistreating her physically and mentally, and smoking drugs in front of the children.
"You do little but smoke drugs all day. I'd like to know if Thais would support such a man. The kids have seen what you've done to me, and don't want to have anything to do with you. Your friends only tolerate you because of your money. In fact, work is the only thing you do well,'' she wrote.
The next day, a man identifying himself as Sek published pictures on his Facebook page of model Prangchat "Pan'' Phipatwirawat, 22, whom he identified as the new woman in his life.
"I entrust everything to her, my new wife ... who miscarried just two months ago,'' he wrote.
He also referred to his dispute with Kan, joking that a man with many wives can only expect such trouble occasionally.
"I'm a man - if I am brave enough to do it, I have to accept the consequences. I understand that, and am willing to take the criticism,'' he wrote.
The mother of the model Sek claims as his new lover says the saga has hurt her daughter. She denied Pan fell pregnant to Sek or miscarried. Nor was she involved in a relationship with Sek.
"They met at a casting meeting, but she is not the third hand who brought an end to Sek's marriage. They are not involved romantically,'' she said.
"I don't know what Sek's motives were in publishing her picture, or claiming she miscarried. He obviously thinks much more than the rest of us,'' she added.
In new troubles for Sek, Kan and a woman who identified herself as Sek's manager, Pornpimon Thephichai, have laid police complaints against each other.
Kan said she and two of her children attempted to gain entry to the Sai Mai house she bought with Sek to retrieve the children's school uniforms. Two men whom Sek hires to look after the place refused her entry.
She broke in by climbing a wall, only to find Pornpimon, wearing nightwear, inside the home. She locked herself in Sek's room. Kan has laid a complaint against Pornpimon of breaking into the place.
Pornpimon says Sek's home also doubles as his office. He allows her to stay there when she is not working for him. She has laid a complaint against Kan of damaging Sek's property.
Police say they will call in both women and Sek for questioning. -

Convicted fraudster Nathan Oman has asked for a chance to return to the entertainment industry now that he has served his time for his misdeeds.
Nathan was among the people who were released from jail early last week under the King's annual pardon for inmates.
Nathan, who ended up serving eight months of his one-year term in Loei provincial jail before he was pardoned, was chosen to lead a ceremony in which inmates pledge their allegiance to the King. He was one of 145 inmates given early release from the prison.
Speaking to reporters, Nathan said he had turned over a new leaf. He spent his time inside writing songs and letters to his victims begging forgiveness.
The Manager newspaper said two men who identified themselves as local songwriters picked up Nathan at the jail.
Nathan was convicted of defrauding Sithiporn "Mod'' Kortudomporn of 702,800 baht while he stayed with her family in the province's Chiang Khan district last year.
The court ordered him to pay back 702,800 baht. Nathan left jail with the proceeds of goods he had helped manufacture while in prison worth 2,808 baht.
Mod, a market trader who is battling to make ends meet after Nathan's scheming left her with heavy debts, told the newspaper that Nathan had written asking her to pick him up at the jail. He had also asked if he could stay with her upon his release.
She turned him down, as she was too busy working. She had now managed to repay half the debts.
"I wasn't free to visit him. While I have forgiven him personally, he still has to pay back the money he owes,'' she said. -

Actress and presenter Tanyaret "Tanya'' Engtrakul will get the chance to play the role of a wronged wife with gusto thanks to a soap opera part which some say was tailor-made for the intending divorcee.
Tanya has accepted the role of a wife who is betrayed by her husband in the soap opera Raeng Ngao.
Her character, driven mad by jealousy, hatches evil plots against her husband's girlfriends.
"She will stop at nothing to control her husband. When I read it, I had a good laugh,'' said Tanya.
"Some fans are likely to be amazed at the lengths to which this woman will go - she is afraid of nobody - so much so she might look like a figure of fun.
"Others will feel sorry for her, as ultimately her jealousy makes her mentally ill,'' she said.
Tanya says she has little in common with the character she plays, but admits many fans are likely to draw a comparison between her character and her own relationship problems.
Tanya and her businessman husband Peck Sunchai are divorcing after news broke two years ago of Peck's relationship with actress Savika "Pinky'' Chaiyadej.
The couple spent more than a year apart, with Tanya looking after their daughter, Leeya, in the US.
Now back in Bangkok, Tanya and Peck are now getting along. She has abandoned plans to sue her husband and Pinky for damages.
Asked about Peck's reaction, Tanya said he knew only that she had taken on the role, but not how much she was likely to enjoy playing it. -

| Pae, Pancake |
Pancake said she joined Pae's family for a bite to eat recently, after his parents expressed an interest in meeting her.
"We had some free time, and Pae suggested he take me to see them. It went by well ... everyone was relaxed,'' said Pancake, who admitted she was nervous before the encounter.
His parents follow Pancake's soap operas, so they had something to talk about.
"Pae's mother asked why I didn't bring my own mum. I explained that she wasn't free,'' said Pancake, who also met her boyfriend's younger sister. "Pae's family is family is warm and close,'' she said.
Pancake asked Pae what his parents thought. "They thought you were sweet,'' he said simply.
