Khun Pongsit,
I live in Bangkok. Where are you? Did you buy these teapots in Bangkok? Where? I know where there are other good teapots for sale. You can send me a private message.
From the photos, it is difficult to tell what the clay is. Could be Chao Zhou clay which would be zhuni found there.

+1. Looks like Chao Zhou Red Clay, not yixing. But if you have a pic on the stamp, that will help. T

Doesn't the handle say da hong pao? But it probably isn't da hong pao clay. Because that is rare right?

Right. It's not clear what this means. The artist/studio may use a clay they call DHP but it is not the same 'famous' clay that yixing potters have used.

i also have other pot from this artist but the pot doesn't have the word "da hong pao" on the handle. the color look less red than this one. may be the artist means to tell the type of clay used.
