Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich

Nuttanicha Dungwattanawanich, better known by her nickname Nychaa, was born on April 12, 1996 in the historic city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, where she grew up as the middle child of three siblings. After completing her secondary education at Srivikorn School, she pursued a bachelor's degree in Communication Arts at Bangkok University, a choice that later proved instrumental in honing her on‑screen charisma and public‑relations skills. From an early age, Nychaa displayed a keen interest in performing arts, participating in school plays and local modeling contests, which paved the way for her entry into the Thai entertainment industry. In 2013, she made her professional debut with the popular TV drama “Tong Neu Gao,” quickly gaining recognition for her natural screen presence and versatility. Over the next few years, she built a solid résumé with supporting and secondary‑lead roles in series such as Cubic, Sam Bai Mai Thao, and Mafia Luerd Mungkorn: Raed, culminating in her breakout leading role in the 2016 drama Nang Ai. Her performance earned critical praise and established her as a leading actress, leading to subsequent starring roles in notable productions like Sapai Jao (2015), Plerng Prang Tian (2019), Watsana Rak (2020), and Duang Jai Nai Montra (2021). In 2021, Nychaa expanded her repertoire to the big screen, appearing in the horror film Ghost Lab, produced by GDH, which showcased her ability to handle genre‑bending material. She continued to diversify her portfolio, featuring in BamBam’s 2025 music video “WONDERING.” Despite her demanding career, Nychaa’s personal life has attracted media attention: she dated Thai politician Parit Wacharasindhu for three years before their 2017 breakup, and later entered a relationship with actor Phakin Khamwilaisak in 2018, which lasted until 2025. While she remains unmarried and has no publicly known children, her fan base admires her dedication to both her craft and her public image, cementing her status as one of Thailand’s most dynamic young entertainers.
