If you've ever stumbled across a TikTok that feels like hanging out with your effortlessly cool friend who *also* happens to be a rising Thai actor, you've probably found @20aungpao. Scrolling through his feed, it’s less about polished performances and more like catching glimpses of Ochiris Suwanacheep—known to fans as Aungpao—just vibing. Born on March 20, 2006, in Chaiyaphum, Thailand, he’s got that rare mix of small-town warmth and big-city charm. You’ll spot him against the bustling backdrop of Bangkok one minute, then sharing a lazy clip of himself strumming a guitar in what looks like his bedroom the next. His style? Think relaxed streetwear with a twist—like pairing an oversized hoodie with a single delicate silver chain. It’s never trying too hard, which feels refreshing in a space crowded with overproduced content.

Aungpao’s journey into the spotlight wasn’t exactly a straight path. He made his acting debut almost by accident in GMMTV’s *Cooking Crush* (2023), stepping in last-minute when another actor dropped out—a story he references with a self-deprecating laugh in a now-viral TikTok where he reenacts his frantic first audition. Before that, he’d already cut his teeth on survival shows like *To Be Number 1 Idol* and *Project Alpha*, though he exited the latter early. Instead of dwelling on the setbacks, his TikToks turn these experiences into relatable moments: there’s one where he’s mock-crying into a bowl of spicy papaya salad with crab (his favorite meal, apparently), captioned *"Survivor trauma snack therapy."* It’s vulnerability with a side of humor.

What keeps followers hitting that follow button isn’t just his acting gigs—it’s how he shares the *in-between*. He’ll drop a 15-second clip of himself attempting to cook *pad kra pao* while his dog photobombs the camera, then pivot to a serene video of tulips (his favorite flower) swaying in a vase, all set to an indie folk track. His love for pastel pink seeps in subtly—pastel pink nail polish during a Q&A, a blush-hued guitar pick flying across the frame. And yes, he actually *can* play multiple instruments; a grainy clip of him jamming a Thai folk song on a *saw* (a traditional string instrument) has over 200k likes. It’s these unguarded slices of creativity that feel genuinely *him*.

At 177 cm and all of 19 years old, Aungpao connects by leaning into the awkward, joyful messiness of growing up. In one comment section, he replied to a fan asking about his MBTI with *"IDK, but I can raise one eyebrow—does that count?"* (Spoiler: he can, and there’s proof). He’s vocal about his dream to eventually run a tiny restaurant while chasing music, and fans rally behind it—like when he polled followers on potential menu items for his *"future crab-papaya-salad-only spot."* It’s not just fandom; it feels like collective daydreaming.

Aungpao’s TikTok isn’t about chasing virality. It’s a digital scrapbook of a guy figuring things out: an actor testing his range, a musician humming melodies, a foodie burning rice. He’s got the talent, sure, but it’s the low-stakes authenticity—like that recurring bit where he tries (and fails) to replicate his *Nana*’s recipes—that makes you root for him. Whether he’s destined for concert stages or running a hidden-gem eatery, one thing’s clear: scrolling his profile feels like catching up with a friend who’s always worth keeping tabs on.
