Born and raised in Bangkok, he studied film at Chulalongkorn University.[2] His short film Red Aninsri; Or, Tiptoeing on the Still Trembling Berlin Wall won the Youth Jury Award in the Pardi di Domani competition at the Locarno 2020 Film Festival.[3]
He began writing A Useful Ghost in 2017, partially as an indirect metaphor for the political environment of Thailand following the 2014 Thai coup d'état.[4] The film, a dark comedy-drama in which a deceased woman's spirit possesses a vacuum cleaner, had its world premiere in the Critics' Week section of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival,[5] winning the Grand Prize.[6]
It was submitted as the Thai entry for Best International Feature Film at the 98th Academy Awards,[7] although it was disqualified due to submission errors by the production studio.[8]
