Toptap Jarukit Kaewmoonrueang

Toptap Jarukit Kaewmoonrueang (Thai: ท็อปแท็ป จารุกิจ แก้วมูลเรือง; born October 2, 2003) is a Thai actor and pageant titleholder signed to Aplan International. He is best known for playing Athip “Jay” Wanitsakitphaisan, the unlisted managing director of an entertainment agency, opposite Min Thanakorn Wichanukhor in the 2026 Boys’ Love revenge thriller Payback, a lead role that also happens to be his first screen credit.

Toptap comes from Chiang Mai rather than Bangkok, and studied at Rajamangala University of Technology Lanna, the northern technical university based in the city. His route into the industry ran through pageantry: in 2022 he was named Mister Looker Thailand 2022, the title that put him in front of casting agents and led to his signing with Aplan International, the Thai company that also sits among the co-production partners on Payback.

Before Payback his performance experience was on stage rather than on camera, including the theatre project The House of Mirrors. That makes him unusual among 2026 Thai BL leads: most arrive with several supporting credits behind them, whereas Toptap went from pageant stage and theatre directly into a ten-episode lead in a series adapted from a Korean webtoon.

In Payback he plays Jay across all ten episodes. The character is the company’s managing director, deliberately kept off the public org chart, whose attention to Sun, the debt-collector-turned-deliveryman trying to reach his ex-boyfriend, turns out to be neither professional nor accidental. He also appears as a regular member of the companion programme Payback Behind the Scenes.

He is a Libra, born in the year of the Goat. He posts under the handle toptap.cnx on both Instagram and TikTok, the suffix a nod to Chiang Mai’s airport code, and uses JARUKiTzX96 on X. No height, weight or blood type figures for him have been published by his agency or any database, and BLGLFLIX leaves those fields blank rather than reproduce fan estimates.
