BIOGRAPHY

Sammy Samantha Melanie Coates has been in Thai BL casts since 2014, and she has a habit of coming back to the same people. She played Manaow in Until We Meet Again (2019) and again in Between Us (2022), and Bow in Love by Chance (2018) and again in its 2020 sequel. Her debut role and one of her 2026 roles even share a name, Nan, twelve years apart.

Samantha Melanie Coates (ซาแมนท่า เมลานี่ โค้ทส์), nicknamed Sammy, was born on 30 August 1995. She went to Pattaya Arunotai School and studied digital marketing communication and branding at Rangsit University’s College of Communication Arts. Alongside acting she makes comedy videos on Instagram and TikTok.

Her first role was Nan in the first season of Love Sick in 2014, repeated in the second season a year later. Signed to Studio Wabi Sabi from 2018, she worked through a run of BL titles: Nok in What the Duck, Bow in Love by Chance, Cake in 2 Moons 2 and Manaow in Until We Meet Again. Her first main role came with Proud in the anthology 7 Project (2021), in a sapphic storyline opposite Pannin Charnmanoon. Guest turns followed in Star in My Mind (2022), Dinosaur Love (2023) and, as Fon, We Are (2024).

When her Studio Wabi Sabi contract ended in 2024 she joined GMMTV, and the supporting roles have come quickly since. She was Mei Li in Fourever You and Ming in ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat (2024), then Natcha in Us and Bly in MuTeLuv (2025). Her 2026 list includes Sodchuen in Love You Teacher, Mai in Good Boy and Nan in Built in Love; she also plays Mirin in Dare You to Death, with So in I Will Always Save You still ahead.

Here is why Sammy is worth tracking: her list runs through two studios, six years at Studio Wabi Sabi and the GMMTV years since. The Studio Wabi Sabi years gave her the returning characters; the GMMTV years have given her volume, with four 2026 series already on the list.

My tip: watch Until We Meet Again and then Between Us. Manaow is the same girl three years on, and following one supporting character across two separate series makes the second feel like a reunion.
