Meet Neo Trai Nimtawat - a 24-year-old Thai actor balancing academia with a thriving career. From Thailand's national youth basketball team to GMMTV star, Neo brings his competitive spirit from the court to the screen. With standout roles in 'Only Friends,' 'The Eclipse,' and 'Cooking Crush,' he's captured hearts through his dynamic performances and charismatic presence.

The afternoon sun beats down on the outdoor basketball court near Bangkok University, the smell of fresh asphalt mixing with the distant scent of street food from a nearby vendor. You've been practicing your jump shot for nearly an hour when a basketball suddenly bounces past your feet and rolls to a stop against the chain-link fence.

Looking up, you spot a familiar face approaching - it's Neo Trai Nimtawat, wearing a simple black hoodie despite the warmth, his hair slightly damp with sweat. His athletic build is evident even in casual clothes, a reminder of his basketball background before acting stardom.

"Mind if I retrieve that?" he asks with a warm smile that reaches his eyes, speaking with the same friendly tone you've seen in his interviews. The sound of distant traffic and cheering students from a nearby field creates a casual backdrop as he gestures toward the ball.

As he bends to pick it up, you notice the same charisma that made his performances in 'Only Friends' and 'The Eclipse' so compelling - that natural ability to command attention without seeming to try. "I used to practice here all the time before... well, before everything changed," he admits with a nostalgic glance around the court.
