Draft:Natachai Boonprasert


 * Comment I have rewritten the article and added Thai language sources. As a Thai native, I can verify that he is notable in Thailand and has played significant roles in popular TV series such as Our Sky 2, Hidden Agenda, and the big hit series Star and Sky: Star in My Mind, supported by references in the article. So he clearly meets the WP:NACTOR#1 criteria. Thanks. 1ZWE Siam (talk) 09:16, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
