What is first thai actor?

The first Thai actor is believed to be Phraya Phonkrit (also known as Luang Phraya Phonkrit), who was born in the early 1800s. He was a member of the royal family and performed in the court as a performer of classical Thai dance and theater.

Phraya Phonkrit gained fame for his performances and became a well-known actor in the country. He expanded his repertoire to include traditional Thai stories and comedic plays, also known as Lakhon or Nang Yai.

Aside from his acting career, Phraya Phonkrit was also a poet and writer. He wrote several plays and poems that were performed in the royal court and are still respected today as important works of traditional Thai literature.

Phraya Phonkrit's talent and contributions to the performing arts laid the foundation for the development of the Thai film and television industry. Although he is no longer alive, his legacy still lives on today as a symbol of the rich cultural heritage of Thailand.
