Pirapat Watthanasetsiri

Pirapat Watthanasetsiri, widely known by his nickname Earth, is a Thai actor and singer represented by the entertainment agency GMMTV. Born in Bangkok, Thailand, on February 23, 1994, he gained prominent national and international recognition for his performances in popular television dramas. Outside of his entertainment career, he engages in painting as a personal creative pursuit.

He pursued his higher education at Srinakharinwirot University, enrolling in the Faculty of Fine Arts. He successfully earned a bachelor's degree in performing arts, graduating in 2018. During that same year, his mother passed away, a time marked by personal difficulty that included a car accident while he was traveling to visit her in the hospital, though he sustained no injuries.

Pirapat began his acting work with notable early television roles, including performances in the series Water Boyy in 2017 and Kiss Me Again in 2018. His career achieved a significant milestone when he was cast as Chief Phupha in the 2021 drama A Tale of Thousand Stars. He starred opposite fellow GMMTV artist Sahaphap Wongratch, earning substantial viewer acclaim for their onscreen partnership.

Following the success of their first major project together, Pirapat and Sahaphap continued to collaborate regularly on subsequent screen productions. Their popular pairing led to the collective fan moniker EarthMix. Expanding their joint projects beyond scripted acting, the duo launched their own YouTube variety show, E.M.S Earth - Mix Space, which made its debut in 2022.

In addition to his creative career, Pirapat is an entrepreneur who owns Nikko Thai Massage, a chain of massage parlors operating in Bangkok. He opened the first location in January 2023, followed by a second establishment in June 2023 and a third branch in 2024.

In August 2023, Pirapat publicly addressed receiving malicious mail directed at his business premises. GMMTV subsequently intervened by pursuing legal measures alongside law enforcement officials. The legal action targeted an individual responsible for defaming the actor, culminating in an agreement where the offender committed to ending the harassment.
