BIOGRAPHY

May Piangpaitoon Satrawaha (Thai: มาย เพียงไพฑูรย์ สาตราวาหะ) is a Thai screenwriter, acting coach, casting director, director and production manager, and one of the two credited screenwriters of the 2026 Domundi TV historical Boys’ Love series Love Upon a Time, which she adapted with Porndee Satrawaha from littlebbear96’s novel ภพเธอ.

She holds both a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in Dramatic Arts from the Faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University, the same programme attended by Den Panuwat Inthawat, the director of Love Upon a Time. Alongside writing, her working roles include coaching performers, casting, directing and production management.

She founded SPARK DRAMA STUDIO and serves as managing director of Chaiyo Hooray Productions.

Her screenwriting credits run from 2012 to the present. She wrote for the long-running anthology Club Friday (2012), then for titles including Glarb Pai Soo Wun Fun (2019), Mother (2020), Cutie Pie (2022), My Golden Blood (2025) and Love Upon a Time (2026). Cutie Pie is a Domundi TV production, four years before the 2026 series.

She also takes small on-screen parts: Teacher Mild in Hormones Season 2 (2014), a teacher named My in Boyband (2023), a nurse named Ju in To Be Continued (2024), and a shipper in Dating Game (2025).

Her coaching work covers lakorn, series and films, and her casting work is for advertisements. She also works as an assistant director and as a theatre and television producer, and at SPARK DRAMA STUDIO she is the main acting instructor and the manager.

May co-wrote the screen version of Love Upon a Time, which moves littlebbear96’s novel into the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

The source is ภพเธอ (Phop Thoe), published by DEEP in November 2021 at 617 pages. The adaptation relocates the story to Ayutthaya and wraps a present-day frame around it.

She shares the screenplay credit with Porndee Satrawaha, and Den Panuwat Inthawat directed. The series is at Love Upon a Time.

In my view a writer who also coaches actors and casts commercials has a practical feel for performers. Watching Cutie Pie and then Love Upon a Time, four years apart at the same studio, is the simplest way to see how her writing moved from a contemporary setting to an Ayutthaya-era one.
