Fuaiz Thanawat Shinawatra

Fuaiz Thanawat Shinawatra (Thai: ฟูไอซ์ ธนวัตร ชินวัตร; born January 21, 2006) is a Thai actor managed by Be On Cloud. He is best known for playing Tonkla in the 2024 series 4MINUTES and “White” Watcharin Siriphan in the 2023 horror-mystery Dead Friend Forever, and for Thanapat “Bank” Loetkraisorn in the 2026 revenge thriller Payback, the ex-boyfriend who vanishes with Sun’s money and resurfaces five years later as a rising actor billed under the name Sunny.

He has been working on screen since childhood. His first credit came in 2017, at the age of eleven, playing the young Dong in Project S: The Series, Side by Side, and the following year he appeared as the young Yi in the ensemble drama In Family We Trust. Both were child roles playing the earlier years of characters carried by adult actors.

His adult career began in 2023, a year in which he appeared in three dramas and two variety formats: Don’t Touch My Gang as Boy, Dead Friend Forever as White, one of the friends at the centre of that series, and himself on The Hidden Character and Hungry Tiger Game. Dead Friend Forever is a Be On Cloud production, as are 4MINUTES (2024) and Shine (2025).

In 4MINUTES he played Tonkla, and in Shine he played Wut. He then joined the cast of Payback for all ten episodes. The series is based on a South Korean webtoon by Samk, illustrated by Fujoking, and aired on One 31 in Thailand on Saturdays from May 30, 2026, with iQIYI carrying it internationally.

Payback follows Sun, a former debt collector who now works as a delivery rider. He discovers that Bank, the ex-boyfriend who took his money, is now an actor called Sunny, and he enters the entertainment industry to take revenge. There he meets Jay, a senior director at Dream Entertainment. Min Thanakorn Wichanukhor plays Sun and Toptap Jarukit Kaewmoonrueang plays Jay, with Woodie Pongchaiphat Sethanand directing. Fuaiz was twenty years old while the series aired.
