Portrait of Thai TV host and actor Pompam Niti Chaichitathorn

Pompam Niti Chaichitathorn

BIOGRAPHY

An Asian Television Award for hosting usually goes to someone who stays behind a desk. Pompam Niti Chaichitathorn won his in 2017 for the talk show Talk with Toey, and the years since have put him in front of the camera as a teacher, a film director, a man called Popcorn and another called Pakphoom. Niti Chaichitathorn (นิติ ชัยชิตาทร), nicknamed Pompam (ป๋อมแป๋ม), is a television host, creative, producer and actor born on 7 October 1981 in Bangkok. He graduated from the Faculty of Arts at Chulalongkorn University.

His base is GMMTV. He became head of the creative group at Bang Channel, the studio’s cable and satellite channel, and that is where the travel show Toey Tiew Thai, which he co-hosts, was first broadcast. He also hosted the late night talk show Talk with Toey. Hosting has brought most of his prizes: Best Entertainment Presenter/Host at the 22nd Asian Television Awards, Outstanding Solo Presenter at the 32nd Golden Television Award, and TV Personality at GQ Men of the Year 2018. He has also hosted Take Guy Out Thailand (2020) and Mission Tham Duai Chai (2023).

The acting list is long and mostly comic. Early film parts include Turian in Like Love (2012), Daengtoi in Grean Fictions (2013) and Boy in The Library (2013). On television he was Teacher Amorn in Ugly Duckling (2015), Joe in Fate Mission (2017), Nat in Wake Up Ladies The Series (2018) and Kawao in F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021). He played the director in the film One for the Road (2022), Chao in Love Hurts (2023), Somkit, called Kitty, in To the Moon and Back (2023), Mr. Sud in The Believers (2024) and Baimon in The Trainee (2024).

His recent GMMTV work keeps him close to the BL and GL slates. He played Popcorn in one episode of The Heart Killers, Edith in four episodes of MuTeLuv (2025) and M.L. Ray in Enigma Black Stage (2025). He is part of the comic ensemble of A Dog and a Plane, and in WEIRDO-101 (2026) he is Teacher Boriboon, one of the grown-ups at the school. In Enemies With Benefits (2026) he plays Pakphoom across all ten episodes. He has also recorded two stand-up specials, Pompam’s Stand Up Comedy 1 and 2.

Pompam is the rare GMMTV face who works both sides of the studio. The creative lead of Bang Channel also turns up as a teacher in a school comedy and a supporting part in an office GL. The man who hosted the talk show now gets interviewed by the plot.

My tip: watch WEIRDO-101 for Teacher Boriboon, then Enemies With Benefits for Pakphoom. Same actor, two workplaces, and he looks at home in both.
