Nook Suttida Kasemsant Na Ayutthaya

BIOGRAPHY

Nook Suttida Kasemsant Na Ayutthaya (Thai: นุ๊ก สุทธิดา เกษมสันต์ ณ อยุธยา; born March 15, 1977) is a Thai actor, model, singer and television host whose fame dates to the 1990s and who has worked continuously since. She appears in both of the 2026 Thai series covered on this site: as Nahathai in Love Upon a Time and as Pavinee in Payback.

She was born in Chiang Mai on March 15, 1977 and grew up in Bangkok. Her entry into the industry came through a music video: an appearance in Somchai Kemglad’s “Bodyguard” in 1992, at fifteen, brought her to public attention. She then recorded as a solo artist, releasing the album Nook in 1994 under RS Promotion and Sweet Hot in 1997.

Her critical high point came early and in film. Romantic Blue (1995) won her Best Actress at both the Suphannahong National Film Awards and the Golden Doll Awards in the same year, aged eighteen. She followed it with Extreme Game (1996), Friendship Breakdown (1999), 4 Romance (2008), The Unreasonable Man (2014), Ruk Na Soup Soup (2020) and Dangerous Boys 2 (2024).

Television has been the larger part of the work, running from 1993 to the present. Main roles include Angel Destiny, Kamin Gub Poon, Raeng Chang, Kularb Tud Petch, Fah Mee Ta (2022) and Club Friday Love Seasons Celebration (2021), alongside a long run of supporting parts: Soi Nakhee (2023), The Opera of Love (2024), House of Flames (2025), Stolen Wings (2025), The Gift (2026), House of Grace (2026) and the two 2026 series covered here. She also works as a host and, more recently, as a YouTuber.

Dangerous Boys 2 (2024) is a quiet point of connection: she and Net Siraphop Manithikhun, who leads Love Upon a Time, both appear in that film, two years before the series brought them onto the same production again.

MUSIC CAREER

Nook’s recording career belongs to the 1990s Thai pop industry. Her first public exposure was itself musical: an appearance in the music video for Somchai Kemglad’s “Bodyguard” in 1992, aged fifteen, which brought her to the attention of the industry three years before Romantic Blue.

She released her debut album, Nook, in 1994 under RS Promotion, one of the two dominant Thai labels of the era, followed by Sweet Hot in 1997. Those two albums are her complete discography; she has released no new recorded material since the 1990s, and her later career has been in acting, hosting and video content.
