Celebrity Crush List Update: We're Fangirling Over These Thai Heartthrobs!

Suppasit Jongcheveevat, a.k.a. Mew

The 29-year-old started his career as a model and went on to be cast in some of Thailand's most popular romance series. Most recently, he was paired with Gulf Kanawut in a show called "TharnType." The show has a bold premise for mainstream Asian TV: a love interest between a straight male lead and his openly gay roommate.

Gulf Kanawut

Speaking of Mew's on-screen love interest, here he is! Gulf Kanawut is a relatively newcomer in the Thai drama scene, but his introduction to the industry proved incredibly successful. He's one half of the #MewGulf fandom, and a second season to "TharnType" is already in the works for release next year. Before acting took over, Gulf had aspirations to become an engineer.

Korawit Boonsri, who prefers to be called Gun

Gun stars alongside Bright and Win in "2gether," but what sets him apart from them in real life is that he's openly gay. He's never had qualms about being open about his sexuality and relationships, making him an icon in Thai's LGBTQIA+ community. He's a newbie in Thailand's TV and movie industry, but something tells us we'll be seeing more of him in the years to come.

Metawin Opas-iamkajorn, or just Win for short!

Despite Win's success as young actor, he's putting education on the same level as his career. He's currently a university student and, before that, was an exchange student in the United States! He's best known for a show titled "2gether: The Series" where he plays lead character Tine, a sought after college campus cutie. If you're looking for an introductory Thai series, his seems to be a good choice as Filipino fans have raved about it on social media!

Vachirawit Chivaaree or Bright

Bright is the other actor featured on "2gether," as Win's "kind of" boyfriend (we won't spoil the story for you any further). This 22-year-old actor is currently taking up Marketing in Bangkok University. He started his acting career in 2013 and has appeared in a film and several television shows and music videos.

Thitipoom Techaapaikhun, nicknamed New

Compared to many of the Thai actors we're just beginning to get to know, New has been in the scene for quite some time. He's been acting since 2014 in TV shows and in movies, but got his big break in 2018's "Kiss Me Again," after which he's always landed leading roles in his projects. He's got a lengthy filmography to choose from, so if you can't get enough of New, there's more than enough material to satisfy you.

Arak Amornsupasiri

Arak's last big series was 2018's "Oh My Ghost," and if that sounds familiar, it was actually a Thai remake of the popular K-Drama of the same name! He's a little more rugged than the typical Thai drama actor, but that's because he's also a rockstar and a model, and basically an all-around creative. "Oh My Ghost" is streaming on Netflix, so if you want to take a K-Drama break, it's definitely a title worth checking out.

Sunny Suwanmethanont

Sunny plays an angel in new series "Answer For Heaven"—and with his dashing good looks, it's really not difficult to see why he's so fit for the role. He's definitely a pillar in Thai's acting industry and with a following like his (three million on Instagram alone), we're pretty sure his career will enjoy many, many more years of swooning fans. A little extra for those who want to get to Sunny more: his 2005 movie "Dear Dakanda" landed him a Best Actor win, so that's worth a watch, too!

Chanon Santinatornkul, or Non for short

Guys and girls alike go crazy for Non because of his boyish face paired with a super toned body. Underneath all the physical attractiveness though is a pretty subdued dude; Non is a practicing Christian who's rather low-key for the most part, and spends most of his free time staying physically fit. He's won four Best Actor awards in his career, so be sure to check out his movies and series that range from comedy to romance to drama.

Perawat Sangpotirat, but call him Krist

Here's a guy for the eclectic lovers. Krist is sometimes clean cut and fresh, sometimes edgy and tough, or stylishly geeky. Despite a long hiatus in the beginning of his career (he had a seven year acting gap), he had zero issues bouncing back and is now known in Thailand and other parts of Asia, too! We recommend his "Sotus" series as your personal introduction to Krist.

Prachaya Ruangroj, stage name Singto

It's not uncommon in Thailand for celebrities to be multi-talented; they act, they sing, they model, they do sports, all that jazz. Singto is no exception at 26 years old, he's already amassed a pretty big following. He's received more acting nominations and awards alike than the credits in his filmography which should speak for how strong his onscreen presence is.

Puttichai Kasetsin, more famously known as Push

That smile! Those dimples! That face! His wife is sure one lucky lady! Push, who began his career in acting in 2013, is one of the industry's most versatile names as he's not only a great on-screen talent, but knows his way around a camera, too. He's also a music man—he does a bit of DJ-ing from time to time, and by the looks of it, he has fans for that talent, too! He starred in four (wow!) series in 2019 alone, so there's a ton of choices for new and loyal Push fans alike to choose from.
