BIOGRAPHY

PingPong Suwanun Pohgudsai (Thai: ปิงปอง สุวนันท์ โพธิ์กุดไสย์) is a Thai screenwriter and director. She is one of the three credited writers on Cherry Magic (2023), the Thai adaptation of Yuu Toyota’s Boys’ Love manga, alongside Manow Waneepan Ounphoklang and Mook Jarinee Thanomyat, and she is the only member of that writing team with directing credits of her own.

She graduated from the Film Department in the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology at Silpakorn University and is described as a full-time scriptwriter and part-time filmmaker. Her name is romanised as both Suwanun Pohgudsai and Suwanan Phokutsai, and the aliases Kinc, Khiba and ขิบะ also appear alongside PingPong.

Her earliest credits are the short-form series Remark (2016), on which she was both writer and director, and the GMMTV web series Club Sapan Fine (2020). She also worked on the independent feature Blue Again (2022), taking a third assistant director credit and appearing briefly as a classmate.

As screenwriter her credits include Dive (2019), 46 Days and F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021), No Worries and Cherry Magic (2023), Kidnap and ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat (2024), and Boys In Love (2025). In 2025 she returned to the dual writer-director role on MuTeLuv, nine years after Remark.

Projects listed for 2026 include Match Point, My Romance Scammer and two further MuTeLuv instalments, Love Me if You Swear and Love Lock.

PingPong is the only one of the three Thai Cherry Magic writers who also directs.

She wrote and directed Remark in 2016 and held the same dual role on MuTeLuv in 2025, nine years apart, with writing credits filling the years between.

The 2023 adaptation of Cherry Magic was directed by X Nuttapong Mongkolsawas from a script credited to her, Manow Waneepan Ounphoklang and Mook Jarinee Thanomyat. She and Manow are also both credited on 46 Days and F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers, both from 2021.
