Apasiri Nitibhon

Apasiri Nitibhon has been the mother of a character called Pete twice. In Love by Chance (2018) she is Pete’s mom, and in Who Are You (2020) she is Pacharee, Pete’s mother all over again. GMMTV keeps handing her the same son’s name, and she keeps making the mother a different woman.

Apasiri Nitibhon (อาภาศิริ นิติพน), nicknamed Um, was born on 14 September 1971 in Bangkok and studied at Bangkok University’s School of Humanities and Tourism Management. She started as a model after the Trend Setter search for new models, which led to shoots for Image magazine. Her first starring film role was Angsumalin in Sunset at Chaophraya, the screen version of Khu Kam. She trained as a likay dancer when she was young, and for The Victim (2006), where she plays a beauty queen who performs likay, she took a refresher course in Thai classical dance.

Her television list runs to dozens of dramas across Channel 3, One 31, GMM 25 and PPTV. She was Kwan’s mother in both seasons of Hormones, Nipha Jiraanan in In Family We Trust (2018) and Headmistress Pornthip in Bad Genius (2020). The BL and GL credits came with the GMMTV years: Mae Napa in Love at First Hate (2018), Roci in Baker Boys (2021), Russamee Thananusak in the GL series The Secret of Us (2024), Thara Amarittrakul in the vampire series My Golden Blood (2025) and Janya in Moonshadow.

Film keeps bringing her prizes. As Jean and Jay’s mother in Happy Old Year (2019) she won Best Supporting Actress in Film at the 16th Kom Chad Luek Awards. In 2025 she took a main role as Suman in A Useful Ghost, and the part swept the supporting actress category in 2026: the 15th Thai Film Director Awards, the 22nd Kom Chad Luek Awards, the 34th Bangkok Critics Assembly Awards and the 34th Suphannahong National Film Awards.
