BIOGRAPHY

Before Boston started shooting photos in Only Friends: Dream On, Neo was shooting hoops. He played for Thailand’s national youth team and won bronze at the 2018 ASEAN School Games, then left the sport that same year to act. Trai Nimtawat (ตรัย นิ่มทวัฒน์), nicknamed Neo (นีโอ), was born on 14 January 2001 and grew up in Bangkok. He finished secondary school at Bangkok Christian College and studies at Bangkok University in the Faculty of Business Ownership and Management. He has been with GMMTV since 2018.

His first role came the year he signed: Gord, a main character in ‘Cause You’re My Boy (2018). He brought Gord back for a guest spot in Dark Blue Kiss in 2019, and in between he took parts in Wolf, Tonhon Chonlatee and the Girl Next Room series. He also had a supporting part in Our Skyy (2018), and later played Up, full name Preeda, in Vice Versa (2022) and Tony as a guest in episode 5 of Midnight Motel (2023).

The step up came in 2021 with Fish upon the Sky, where he played Duean as a main role alongside Thanawin Teeraphosukarn (Louis). The two worked together again in The Eclipse (2022), where Neo played Khan, and returned to those roles in the anthology Our Skyy 2 in 2023. That year he also made his film debut as Mai in My Precious, played Boston in the ensemble series Only Friends and played Fire in Cooking Crush.

In 2024 he reprised Mai in My Precious The Series and played Tao in A Love So Beautiful. 2025 brought Tonkla in My Golden Blood, Tum in That Summer and Kat, the friend a spirit takes over in the MuTeLuv story Diva Deva Mata. In 2026 he returned as Boston, now a photographer, in Only Friends: Dream On, and played Nop, full name Nopphan Kongkram, in the GMM 25 thriller Mr.Kill.

GMMTV has already named him in several new series. He is in the cast of Plan B To U and Your Eyes, My Ears, plays Boat in Surf ‘n’ Love and plays a character called Ohm in Shooting Stars.

Neo has a habit of coming back. Gord came back, Mai came back, Khan came back, and now Boston is back with a camera around his neck. My tip: watch Fish upon the Sky and The Eclipse as a pair, since his work with Louis connects the two, then try Mr.Kill for a darker Neo. Fair warning: after six years of returning characters, I half expect Gord to wander into Plan B To U.
