Pirapat Watthanasetsiri (; born 23 February 1994), nicknamed Earth (), is a Thai actor known for starring in the television series Water Boyy (2017) and Kiss Me Again (2018). He gained further recognition for his lead role as Chief Phupha in the television series A Tale of Thousand Stars (2021) starring alongside Sahaphap Wongratch (Mix).
Personal life and education Pirapat was born in Bangkok, Thailand. He graduated in 2018 with a bachelor's degree in performing arts from the Faculty of Fine Arts at Srinakharinwirot University. In addition to being an actor and singer, Pirapat also paints as a hobby.
In 2018, Pirapat's mother died. Before her death, he was in a car accident while on his way to see her in the hospital. He was uninjured but speaks about this period in his life as a particularly difficult one.
Pirapat is the owner of a chain of Thai massage parlors named "Nikko Thai Massage" and located in Bangkok. The first branch opened in January 2023, the second in June 2023 and the third in 2024.
In August 2023, Pirapat took to X (formerly Twitter) to complain about letters containing malicious content being sent to his business. He threatened legal action unless the malicious mail stopped. Later that month, Pirapat's management company, GMMTV, issued a statement that it had met with inspectors and taken legal action against an individual whose actions defamed Pirapat and damaged his image. According to the statement, the individual agreed to cease this behavior. The company further stated that it would take such action against similar behavior in the future.
