Nadech Kugimiya is a top superstar in Thailand, famous in Vietnam through a series of blockbusters. Not only is his acting top-notch, he also conquers the audience with his clean private life, modesty, professionalism and dreamlike love affair with the "mixed-race rose" Yaya Urassaya.

Nadech Kugimiya was born on December 17, 1991, and quickly rose to the top, becoming one of the most powerful actors and models in the Golden Temple country. Nicknamed "Barry" and known as "national male god", "advertising king", or recently "Handsome Tee Yod", Nadech not only captured the hearts of Thai audiences but also spread his strong influence throughout Asia, especially in Vietnam through a series of famous TV series and movies.

The special beginnings that Nadech brought to the Thai entertainment industry

Nadech Kugimiya was born Chonlathit Yodprathum in Khon Kaen, a province in the northeast of Thailand. He has two special bloodlines: his biological mother is Thai and his biological father is Austrian. However, Nadech did not grow up with his biological parents but was adopted and raised by his biological aunt and her Japanese husband.

From then on, he took his adoptive father’s surname, becoming Nadech Kugimiya. The multicultural environment from a young age shaped Nadech’s adaptability and openness, as well as creating conditions for him to be expose.d to many different languages and ways of thinking. Growing up in Khon Kaen, an area that is not a bustling entertainment center, also partly helped him maintain his simplicity and modesty when entering the glamorous showbiz.

In 2009, at the age of 17, Nadech began his career as a model. Standing at 1m78 tall, with a handsome face that blends Asian and European features, and a well-proportioned body, Nadech quickly attracted attention.
