He was a country child in Burirum. Both of his parents are teachers. When he grew up he moved to Bangkok to study and graduated from Chandrakasem Rajabhat University. He started to work at SCB (The Siam Commercial Bank Public Company Limited). After that he had a chance to be a model. He finally became an actor after he quit the bank; because he got persuaded to become an actor and he received a reward from a magazine, Cleo in 2004 for being a 'single man in girls' dreams'.
He was a great Thai actor, but suddenly, his news was in every newspaper, the rumors about his death were spread. Out of Ramathibodi Hospital rapidly came news to confirm that he was still alive but in a coma. They said that he got dengue fever which he had gotten before but in a different type. He stayed there for several months. However, he couldn't survive. Even though he had more than 6 operations, his body fought against itself and his internal organs were broken down.
While he was an actor, he wasn't that famous because his appearance wasn't really outstanding, but he still got recognized by his personalities that were kind and friendly. People started to recognize him while he was playing a drama called "Poo Yai Lee Gub Nang Ma", which means "Marshal Lee and Miss Ma". The drama was about a marshal who works in a countryside where there are a lot of farmers, so that inspired him to farm rice along with the initiative "Sufficiency Economy Philosophy" of the King. He decided to buy about 200 acres, and he divided some to the villagers for farming for free.
He always participated in whatever projects helped other people or animals. He donated his organs to Siriraj Hospital and he also posted his picture on his Instagram with a caption "We better pass it to other people who need them, when we don't need them anymore", and that made people participate in organ donations more. He did multiple things for charities, for example, marathon run for prostheses foundation, buying food for homeless people, riding the bicycle.
Because of he spent his own time for charities, he received plenty of awards. He was the first Asian person who got assigned to be Honorary Ambassador of animal protection organizations in the world (World Animal Protection Thailand: WSPA). He also received Stars Entertainment Awards (2009) for Male Protector of the Environments.Even though he had so much money from acting, he lived a normal life as when he wasn't an actor yet. He knew what he needed, what others needed, so he knew what was right to spend money on. He tried to help others as much as he could, and never complained or was tired about it.
