Faye Peraya: The Thai Celebrity Of The Year 2025 (Top 3 Finalists)

PURCHASE MAGAZINE IN PRINT AND DIGITAL WORLDWIDE:

2025 was the year Thai entertainment didn’t just knock on the global door; it kicked it down and walked in like it owned the place. Sold-out 4U2 concerts across Asia and Latin America, series that shattered Netflix records in 190 countries, lakorns that had TikTok flooded with crying edits, brand deals that made luxury houses fight over Thai faces, and variety shows that turned Twitter (and now X) into a 24-hour screaming festival. From Bangkok to Buenos Aires, the Land of Smiles became the Land of Obsession. Thailand didn’t follow trends this year; it rewrote the entire playbook with heart-melting chemistry, next-level visuals, and that signature Thai sweetness laced with lethal charisma.

For five feverish months, the Netizens Choice Thai Celebrity poll turned into pure chaos. Fandoms from Thailand, China, Japan, Brazil, the Philippines, Mexico, and beyond treated voting like an Olympic sport. Lightsticks became phone batteries, wai-ing turned into war cries, and the vote counts went absolutely nuclear. This wasn’t just a poll; it was a love revolution.

Now the crown has been decided by the only court that matters: the fans themselves.

Here are your Top 3 Thai Celebrities of 2025 — three unstoppable forces who carried the Thai flag higher than anyone else this year:

2. Gulf Kanawut

The Nation’s Treasure Who Conquered Every Continent (Gulf Kanawut: powerful stage capture mid-dance, golden skin glowing under stadium lights, that lethal smirk that causes global blackouts.)

Second place feels criminal when you’re Gulf Kanawut. 2025 was the year he went from Thai superstar to certified international heart attacker. A world tour that sold out stadiums from Jakarta to Los Angeles, three magazine Vogue covers in one year (a national record), the most-streamed Thai male solo track in Spotify history, and a movie with a major Hollywood studio that already has Oscar buzz. His deep voice melts steel, his dance lines could cut glass, and his dimpled smile funds half the planet’s therapy bills.

Gulf doesn’t perform; he possesses. Every ad campaign he touches turns into a cultural moment, every live stage becomes religion. He carried his fandom through thick and thin with nothing but loyalty and that ridiculous face card that never declines. Second place only proves how insane this year was.

3. Build Jakapan

The Actor Who Broke the Internet and Rebuilt It Stronger (Build Jakapan: intense dramatic shot, tousled hair, eyes that hold entire galaxies of pain and charm, pure leading-man energy.)

Rounding out the holy trinity is the man who turned 2025 into his personal redemption arc and made the whole world cheer: Build Jakapan. A triumphant comeback series that became the highest-rated Thai drama of the decade, a luxury ambassador deal that crashed brand websites, emotional ballads that lived rent-free in everyone’s “crying at 3 a.m.” playlist, and apology-level acting that reminded everyone why he was born for the screen.

Build didn’t just return; he evolved: deeper voice, sharper visuals, and a vulnerability that felt like he was letting millions of fans hold his heart. His laughter in interviews healed us, his tears on screen destroyed us. Third place is just a number; his impact is eternal.

Why he owns us forever: “Build doesn’t act pain; he gifts it to you wrapped in those eyes.”

This Top 3 is lethal: unmatched talent, insane visuals, and raw emotional power, all packaged with that addictive Thai charm that no one else on earth can replicate. 2025 proved once again that when Thailand decides to shine, the entire world looks south and falls in love.

Faye Peraya: The Thai Celebrity Of The Year 2025

The Queen Who Reigned Supreme – The Undisputed Ruler of 2025 (Faye Peraya: ethereal close-up under soft golden light, that piercing gaze and gentle smile that ends lives worldwide.)

Faye Peraya didn’t just win; she ascended. 2025 was her coronation year and the entire planet attended. Two back-to-back record-breaking GL series that dominated Netflix Global Top 10 for months, a solo OSTs that ruled Spotify Thailand for half the year, sold-out fan meetings from São Paulo to Seoul, and every fashion week front row begging for her presence. Her voice is velvet fire, her acting rips hearts out with a single tear, and her quiet power on screen makes you forget how to breathe.

But what truly crowned her was the way she carried an entire genre on her back while staying impossibly kind, articulate, and devastatingly gorgeous. She spoke about women loving women with such grace that she changed minds and saved lives. Fans didn’t just vote for beauty; they voted for revolution. Faye Peraya is now the face of modern Thai entertainment, and the world is happily on its knees.

Why the globe is obsessed: “She looks at you like you’re the only person in the universe, then destroys you with one smile.”
