Early Life

Thanawat Rattanakitpaisan was born on October 13, 1998, in Lamphun Province, Thailand. His ethnicity is Thai, and he follows Buddhism. Raised by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Rattanakitpaisan, he grew up with a younger sister.

His father passed away when he was seven, shaping his resilience and drive. Growing up in Lamphun, Khaotung developed an early interest in music, learning guitar and songwriting, and later discovered his passion for acting, which led him to pursue an entertainment career.

Education

Khaotung attended Monfort College in Chiang Mai for his secondary education. In 2017, he enrolled at Chiang Mai University’s Faculty of Medical Technology, where he was named the faculty’s “Moon” (a campus heartthrob title).

He later transferred to Kasetsart University in Bangkok in 2018 to study Environmental Engineering and was a finalist in the 2018 Freshy Boy and Girl contest.

Career

Khaotung’s career began in 2018 at age 19 when a GMMTV casting manager discovered his photos on social media, leading to his acting debut as Au in ‘Cause You’re My Boy. He took supporting roles in The Charming Step Mom (2019) as Kothom, Blacklist (2019) as Joe, and 2gether (2020) as Fong.

His first lead role came in 2020 as Chonlatee in the BL series Tonhon Chonlatee alongside Podd Suphakorn. In 2021, he played Longtae in A Tale of Thousand Stars and Paul, a closeted man in a teenager’s body, in 55:15 Never Too Late, also releasing his debut single “Never Too Late” for its OST.

His breakthrough came in 2022 as Ayan in The Eclipse with First Kanaphan, earning critical acclaim and the Best BL Series at the 2022 Thailand Digital Awards. In 2023, he played Gaipa in Moonlight Chicken, winning Best Supporting Actor at the Y Universe Awards, and Ray, a troubled student, in Only Friends.

In 2024, he starred as Bison, an assassin, in The Heart Killers with First, and became a host forSchool Rangers. In 2025, he appeared as Kaitong in Ossan’s Love Thailand (guest role), Jeng in Sweet Tooth (guest role), and Good Dentist (guest role), and is set to play Lynx in Cat for Cash (upcoming).

Personal Life

Khaotung, 26, is single and stands at 175 cm tall. He lives in Bangkok and is known for his playful, “naughty” personality, as described by co-star First Kanaphan. He enjoys playing guitar, composing songs, gaming, and eating stir-fried crispy pork with basil and desserts, but dislikes spicy food.

His clothing brand, A*FLEUR, reflects his creative side. Khaotung keeps his romantic life private but shares a close, brotherly bond with First, often seen together at fan events. He’s passionate about his craft and values authenticity, frequently engaging with fans through social media.

Net Worth

Khaotung’s estimated net Worth is between $100,000 and $500,000. His income comes from acting, singing OSTs, hosting School Rangers, and his A*FLEUR brand.

Some sources claim up to $5 million, but given his career stage, I’ve used a conservative estimate based on his GMMTV projects and endorsements.
