BIOGRAPHY

Paul Tanan Lohawatanakul went from a two episode guest spot to the top of a GMMTV poster in about two years. His first credit was Ice in Summer Night (2024); by 2026 he was Achi, one of the leads of When Oranges Fall. In between he collected the kind of small parts that let a studio see what a new face can do.

Tanan Lohawatanakul (ธนัน โลหะวัฒนกุล), nicknamed Paul, was born on 9 March 2007 in Bangkok. He studied in the Creative Media Program at Open School. Before GMMTV he was represented by Mchoice, and he took part in an agency event in December 2023. He signed with GMMTV in 2024.

His debut, Ice in Summer Night, was a guest role. Later in 2024 he joined The Heart Killers as Knot, his first recurring television part. In 2025 he led Boys in Love as Tar, full name Tinnaphop Limwatthanakul, opposite Ken Kanthee Limpitikranon, and made guest appearances as the young Jett in Revamp: The Undead Story, as Beam in Head 2 Head and in an episode of MuTeLuv.

In 2026 he played Achi, Achira Loetwarit, across all twelve episodes of When Oranges Fall, alongside Progress Passawish Thamasungkeeti and Almond Poomsuwan Suwansatit. He also appears in the music video for “Season of You” (ฤดูกาลที่มีเธอ), Satang Kittiphop’s song from the series soundtrack. Next is Tengnueng, a supporting role in Kiss Me, Remember?.

Here is what Paul’s first two years look like on paper: four guest parts, one recurring role, two leads. Every guest role sat inside a bigger GMMTV series, so by the time he carried When Oranges Fall he had already shared sets with a long list of GMMTV leads. That is an apprenticeship done in public.

My tip: watch Head 2 Head and keep an eye out for Beam, then go straight to When Oranges Fall. Two episodes in one and twelve in the other is the shortest route to seeing how quickly the studio moved him up.
