PoohPavel
The PoohPavel pairing was created by the 2023 series Pit Babe, in which Pavel Naret Promphaopun plays Babe and Pooh Krittin Kitjaruwannakul plays Charlie. Both performers are managed by CHANGE2561, and the agency publishes the pairing under the roman name PoohPavel and the Thai form พูห์พาเวล in its own promotional material, which is the basis on which this record exists.
The two came to the series from opposite ends of a career. Pavel had been working since 2019, with a lead in 2 Moons 2, a travel programme he presented in 2020, a lead in Coffee Melody in 2022 and a supporting role in Fierce & Furious Academy in 2024. For Pooh, Charlie was a first credited role, and a lead one. Six years separate them: Pavel was born in May 1997 and Pooh in July 2003.
Pit Babe itself was an unusual launch vehicle. It went out twice a week in two different edits, a free-to-air cut on One31 at 21:15 and a second version on iQIYI an hour later, so the version a viewer saw depended on where they watched. The premise put a racing team together with characters who carry abilities of their own, which is why the record carries fantasy and science fiction tags alongside sports and romance.
What followed is the part worth noting. Rather than repeating the register that worked, the pairing moved. Pit Babe 2 returned both to their original roles in 2025, and the same year brought Goddess Bless You From Death, a horror mystery in which Pavel plays Singha and Pooh plays Thup Thammawat. In 2026 came The Grim Lover, with Pavel as Won and Pooh credited in a double role as Fourteen, also rendered Sipsi, and Rafah. Four productions across three registers in four years.
The pairing appears as a unit outside the work as well, at the agency’s own CHANGE FANDAY events and on the Thai awards circuit, where a large share of its recognition has come in couple and chemistry categories entered as a pair rather than individually.
The pairing’s recorded joint work here runs a little past ten hours.
This site logs Pit Babe at thirteen episodes running 47 to 62 minutes each, which totals 611 minutes. That is ten hours and eleven minutes of Babe and Charlie sharing a frame. The fifteen minute spread between the shortest and the longest episode is worth a note of its own. It says the running time answered to the story rather than to a fixed slot.
Those episodes were spread across a broadcast that opened on 17 November 2023 and closed on 9 February 2024. Nearly three months, then, for ten hours of material, at a pace that put a week between instalments. The record carries an MA rating, the largest single band in this catalogue.
Read the genre list against the clock and it sharpens. Pit Babe is filed under romance, drama, action, sports, fantasy and thriller, six registers inside those same ten hours. Racing sequences, a fantasy premise and a thriller structure all take minutes that a straight romance would spend elsewhere. Whatever the pairing established, it established inside a tightly shared budget of screen time.
Pavel Naret Promphaopun and Pooh Krittin Kitjaruwannakul have worked together on every screen project either has released since 2023, across motorsport fantasy, horror mystery and supernatural romance. They are six years apart in age, arrived at the pairing from opposite career positions, and are managed by the same company, which books and promotes them as a unit.
