Career

Wannarot Sonthichai, widely known as Vill, made her entry into the Thai entertainment scene in 2008 through an audition with Exact/OneHD, where she was paired with Yuke Songpaisan in her debut drama Kaew Lom Phet (Glass Encircles Diamond).

The series became a nationwide sensation, achieving a peak rating of 17 and instantly turning the duo into one of Thailand’s most adored “golden couples.” Her role as a gentle yet resilient heroine not only captured the audience’s attention but also earned her nominations for Best Rising Newcomer, signaling the arrival of a promising star.

Following her breakout, Vill quickly built a reputation as a versatile actress, transitioning from sweet romantic leads to emotionally intense characters and even antagonists.

She starred in Sakul Ga Dao (2009) and the romantic success Dok Ruk Rim Tang (Flower of Love by the Road) in 2010, where she portrayed dual characters, Anusorn and “Uud,” showcasing her depth and versatility.

She made her mark on the big screen with Jan Dara: Final Capture (2013) and Take Me Home (2016) while diversifying into anthology series like Club Friday The Series (2015–2021) and period epics such as Kahon Maha Ratuek (2017) and Bangkok Naruemit (2017).

Her ability to embody complex personas shone through in roles like the vengeful Fai Sui in Talay Rissaya (Sea of Jealousy, 2018) and the mystical Annyawadee in Kiss of the Cobra Snake Goddess (2019).

In the 2020s, Vill has continued to evolve, taking on roles in fantasy romance dramas like The Prince Who Turns into a Frog (2020), action-comedies such as My Lovely Bodyguard (2021), and emotionally charged works like Heman Tawan Ron (2022).
