Today, July 28, fans around the world are celebrating the birthday of Singto Prachaya Ruangroj—an actor whose performances have left a lasting mark on Thai BL.
From the confident university freshman who first challenged Arthit in SOTUS to the thoughtful producer reunited with his former boyfriend in The Ex-Morning, Singto has brought warmth, vulnerability, humor, and emotional depth to a wide range of characters.
If you are looking for the perfect way to celebrate, revisit some of the roles that have defined his journey.
Kongpob in SOTUS
For many viewers, Singto will always be Kongpob.
Released in 2016, SOTUS follows first-year engineering student Kongpob as he repeatedly challenges Arthit, the intimidating leader of the university’s hazing team. Their confrontations gradually develop into something more personal, giving audiences one of Thai BL’s most recognizable romances.
Singto returned to the role in SOTUS S, which followed Kongpob and Arthit as their relationship faced new pressures beyond its university beginnings. The couple’s story later received another chapter in Our Skyy, offering fans one more opportunity to spend time with the characters who started it all.
Mes in He’s Coming to Me
He’s Coming to Me gave Singto one of his most tender and emotionally layered roles.
He plays Mes, a lonely ghost who has spent years waiting beside his grave until a young man named Thun discovers that he can see him. As the two grow closer, they begin searching for the truth behind Mes’ death while confronting the impossible nature of their feelings.
Singto’s gentle portrayal of Mes helped make the supernatural romance a favorite among fans who still return to it for its combination of mystery, humor, heartbreak, and hope.
Maze in Paint with Love
In Paint with Love, Singto took on the role of Maze, a demanding event organizer whose carefully controlled world is disrupted by Phab, a free-spirited artist played by Tae Darvid.
Their contrasting personalities create plenty of friction, but the professional arrangement connecting them slowly develops into something neither man expected. The role allowed Singto to balance Maze’s sharp, guarded exterior with the vulnerability beneath it.
Dan in Shadow
Singto stepped into darker territory with Shadow, portraying Dan, a student haunted by disturbing visions after transferring to a Catholic boarding school.
The supernatural mystery explores trauma, faith, identity, and the secrets surrounding Dan’s past. Its unsettling atmosphere and emotionally complex story gave Singto an opportunity to show a more intense side of his acting, carrying a character caught between forces he does not fully understand.
Tamtawan in The Ex-Morning
Years after SOTUS, Singto reunited with Krist Perawat for The Ex-Morning.
Singto plays Tamtawan, a producer who unexpectedly finds himself working with his former boyfriend, disgraced television weather reporter Patapi. Their professional reunion forces both men to confront the relationship they left behind—and decide whether an old love deserves another chance.
For longtime KristSingto fans, the series was more than a reunion. It also served as a reflection on how much the actors, their characters, and the audience had grown since their first series together. GMMTV even included small references to their shared history throughout the story, connecting this new chapter with the journey that began in SOTUS.
A career worth celebrating
Across romantic dramas, supernatural mysteries, workplace comedies, and emotional reunions, Singto has continually given audiences characters worth remembering.
