His BL Journey

Offroad stepped into the BL arena with quite a guest role in the 2022 romcom “Rak Diao). His first prominent role was in the show “Our Days”. Starring as Saint, Offroad plays a complicated character in love with his old friend, Mon. Despite being the third angle, Offroad makes a deep impression with his portrayal. Saint isn’t exactly negative, but he cannot be dubbed as a positive character either. The complexities of the emotions that Saint feels for Mon cannot be undermined, but in the end, his wholehearted acceptance that they should remain as friends makes all the difference.

Offroad has a diverse profile. As with his previous role which had grey tones, Offroad plays an endearing, fluffy character in the 2023 hit “Love in Translation” opposite his LAZ1 bandmate, Daou Pittaya. Popular for their chemistry even when they were in the same band, DaouOffroad made their official appearance as an onscreen couple with this show. Their romance was an instant hit, people noticed their pairing outside their musical collaborations, and they set the stage on fire with their sweet camaraderie offscreen as well.

Offroad was next cast as the main lead in the reincarnation saga “Century of Love”. The show had an impressive twist. Offroad has to play a character with a defensive arc. His co-star Daou plays the role of San, a Chinese immigrant who falls in love with Khun Wat, the daughter of a Thai aristocrat. Tragically, as star-crossed lovers, Khun Wat dies and San enter a century-long contract of immortality with Goddess Nuwa, agreeing to wait for Khun Wat to be reborn. Only Wat reincarnated as a man, named Vee. San is a slightly homophobic character who refuses to accept that his lover has been reborn as a man. Offroad does a commendable job embodying Vee’s confusion and pain at being spurned by the man he loves. Yet again, Daou & Offroad excel in the chemistry department, dedicating to a romance that leaves you wounded yet is fairly addictive!

After making waves with their prior two projects, Daou & Offroad returned to the silver screen with “The Wicked Game”. Offroad’s character Pheem is slightly edgy and quite antagonistic. Pheem is ruthless, calculative and despicable. His painful past has turned into a demon, and he callously seeks revenge from his own family, severing familial bonds. He even uses his love interest, Than as a pawn and discards him when he turns against Pheem’s overambitious nature. Pheem isn’t a forgivable character and Offroad portrays him with a ruthlessness that is unmatched & unheard of before.

Offroad is one of the brightest stars in the Thai entertainment industry. He is careful with money and frequently accumulates large amounts of savings. His desire to become an actor was motivated by the dramas he saw as a child, along with his mother and grandmother. In particular, he is quite close to his LAZ1 bandmate, Daou who appreciates his trustworthiness and considers him an observant person. There are rumors about them being in a relationship, which obviously fuels their popularity. Offroad is making waves with his acting talents, he is slowly evolving as an actor and his singing skills are insurmountable as well!
