Pompam Niti Chaichitathorn

An Asian Television Award for hosting usually goes to someone who stays behind a desk. Pompam Niti Chaichitathorn won his in 2017 for the talk show Talk with Toey, and the years since have put him in front of the camera as a teacher, a film director, a man called Popcorn and another called Pakphoom. Niti Chaichitathorn (นิติ ชัยชิตาทร), nicknamed Pompam (ป๋อมแป๋ม), is a television host, creative, producer and actor born on 7 October 1981 in Bangkok. He graduated from the Faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University.

His base is GMMTV. He became head of the creative group at Bang Channel, the studio’s cable and satellite channel, and that is where the travel show Toey Tiew Thai, which he co-hosts, was first broadcast. He also hosted the late night talk show Talk with Toey.
