Top 20 Thai Actress

In this blog post list, I'm going to list my favorite Thai actresses. Now, this list has only been create recently for this blog post purpose, I don't really like to write down the list because it seem to change as I discover new actresses or watches more and new lakorns. If you are not familiar with me, as most of you, I actually grew up watching Thai lakorns in Hmong dub before I started watching them with subtitles. I went on mydramalist.com to search up all the Thai actresses and made a list. I wrote everyone name down along with a ranking number from one to ten. From that list of names I chose my top twenty actresses. I am going to create another list dedicated to the older actresses who usually play the grandmother, mother, and/or supporting roles in Thai lakorns. This list contain actresses who played the main role in their lakorns. 

Top 20 CH, TW, HK Dramas

I watch so many dramas that I lost count of them nor do I have enough fingers to count them all. The reason why I decided to put Chinese, Taiwanese and Hong Kong dramas together is because I don't have a lot of dramas under the Hong Kong and Chinese list while my Taiwanese list can go on forever. Since they are from the same region, location on a map next to each other with similar language, I decided to put it together to save me from writing another list and you from reading another list. I was originally going to do this list as a top ten only but when I was writing this list down and choosing the dramas to put on this list, ten wasn't enough. Majority of the dramas on this list was Taiwanese therefore I added another ten. Ranking on this list would be base off how much I love, like, hated this drama, how many times I have watch this drama, memories watching this drama, and is worth watching this drama also how much I would like a remake of this drama. 

Top 10 GMM 25 and ONE31 Lakorns

GMM 25 and ONE31 is owned by GMM Grammy. It's shows dramas, music, news, and entertainment targeting teenagers. According to the Wikipedia page, it stated that GMM Grammy claims a 70 percent share of the Thai entertainment industry. 

I decide to put GMM 25 and ONE31 under the same list because they both are from the GMM Grammy.

Top 10 Channel 5 Lakorns

Channel 5 is a public television network owned by the Royal Thai Army and launched in 1958. There aren't a lot of lakorns release from Channel 5 that I have seen, so far I think even less than 45 lakorns only but I have love a lot of them and it was really hard to choose my top ten lakorns. Nonetheless, let's just get started because it going to be a long writing process for me and a long reading process for you.

1. Ngao Asoke (2008)

Ngao Asoke is a remake of the original release in 1999 follow by this release and the most current release in 2016. This version starred Pong Nawat Kulrattanarak and Monthai and Peung Kunya Leenuttapong as Bpeeyachat. The story starts when Montha is going to live in Australia to pursue his study. He is from a rich family and his father was a womanizer, seen by the fact that Monthai has a half brother from a different mother. There was a maid's daughter name Lakkana who liked Monthai but Monthai already had a fiance, Viyada, a spoiled woman from rich family. Monthai's mother know about Lakkana's love so she mistreat her and make her suffer till she hang herself to death. Years later, Monthai's mother is sick and the only way to recover is that Viyada take care of her. Viyada did't want to take care of her future mother in law so she sent her servant instead. Monthai is coming back to Thailand and when he sees that Bpee is replacing his fiance, he misunderstand her and treat her badly.

This lakorn is one of my favorite and I love the story line and meaning behind it. Although the actors and actresses weren't my favorite at the time, I grew to love them after this lakorn. There were parts that I didn't love as much as other parts but over all the lakorn itself was a very good lakorn. I going to say that if you are going to watch or have already watch this version before, you should really watch the new version too. If you watch the new version before, I think you should really watch this version too. They are both the same but the actors and actresses playing them changes everything.

Top 20 Channel 3 Lakorns

Channel 3 is Thailand first commercial television station and started back in 1970. It's actually one of the first channel I started noticing on the lakorn that I was watching growing up.  I am going to be a little honest that I love the actors and actresses that are in Channel 3 and they are some of my favorites actors and actresses therefore there is a lot of lakorns on this list compare to Channel 7. I was planning on writing this in two parts because there is a lot of series in this blog but instead I think it better to see a whole entire list instead of two different blog post. Instead of starting at number 20, I am going to switch it around and starts at number 1 because I can go on and on about them all.

1. 4 Huajai Haeng Koon Kao (2010)

This is Channel 3's biggest project as a Channel 3's 40 years celebration. This series consisted of 4 separate but intertwining lakorns. It is based from a series of 4 books by the same name and uses the same casts for all 4 lakorns. 

This is one of my favorite series ever and I think this is the series that started the series trend in Thailand because of the last couple of years the series game for lakorns has been going very strong and everyone seems to like it. I personally love it. This series also starred some of my favorite koojin couples and also some of my favorite actors and actresses. 

Do I wish for a remake of this series? No. I think this series is very good already. Although it is 9 years old already, this series can't be remake at all because, the actors and actresses already play this series so well that a newer version isn't going to replace this series at all. I might want another version later in the future.
