RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW

With the soon-to-be-released series, Shine, Thai actor and Piaget's Global Ambassador, Apo Nattawin is ready to radiate with joy once more

Ten years. That is how long Thai actor, Apo Nattawin has been in the business. Though it was only in 2022, with Kinn Porsche, that he catapulted to superstardom. The series starred Apo as Porsche, and fellow actor, Mile Phakphum as Kinn. With the massive success of the show, Apo landed firmly on the radar for luxury brand collaborations. And the pair of actors proved they were no one-hit wonders - they teamed up again for Thai historical mystery-drama film, Man Suang, which went on to become one of the highest-grossing Thai films of 2023. A walking testament to the value of humility and hard work, Apo was named Piaget's Friend of the Maison for Southeast Asia before the end of 2023. By April 2024, he was elevated to Global Ambassador. It won't take long before Apo sweeps more headlines - he is set to dazzle, together with Mile, in the upcoming romantic comedy period series, Shine.

Hi Apo! You were recently in Abu Dhabi with Piaget. How was the experience?

I was really impressed. It was beyond what I imagined. Every moment of the trip was so valuable and is etched in my memory. For instance, it was the first time I rode a camel in the desert! It felt like I was floating in the galaxy. Of course, with such a warm, family-like welcome from Piaget.
