The Next Big Thing: Why You’re About To Be Obsessed With Thai Star Prim Chanikarn

If you’re looking for the Thai actress who’s about to blow up your feed, meet Chanikarn “Prim” Tangkabodee. Born in 2004, Prim is far from a rookie; she started her career at age seven, making her a true industry veteran before she even hit college (where she’s currently studying at Chulalongkorn University!).

You probably already know her from the global sensation F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers, where she played Kaning, the adorable, fiercely loyal friend to the female lead. That role earned her a Best Supporting Actress award at the Asian Television Awards—casual.

But she’s not just doing the sweet friend role! Prim quickly leveled up to leading roles, starring in the 2023 supernatural thriller Enigma (alongside Thai heartthrob Win Metawin) and leading the popular 2024 romantic comedy, A Love So Beautiful—a Thai remake of the Chinese smash hit.

Beyond the screen, Prim is a fashion darling, partnering with major luxury houses like Dior and Louis Vuitton, and gracing the pages of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. With a knack for picking viral projects, Prim is officially the young Thai star you need to follow immediately.

If you want to catch a glimpse of Prim, she will be gracing jeweller GRAFF’s 65th anniversary exhibition on October 15 at ION Orchard Art Gallery, Singapore.

Don’t forget to catch this bright star!
