Orm Kornnaphat’s rise in Thai entertainment hasn’t quite followed a neatly mapped trajectory, but it has reached a point where her name is increasingly hard to miss. Early television roles gave an early glimpse of her on-screen presence, before Channel 3’s The Secret of Us brought her international stardom and turned her pairing with Lingling Kwong into one of the most talked-about duos in recent Thai pop culture. That success soon gave way to brand ambassadorships with Dior and Bvlgari, as well as new projects like Only You and In Love Forever.
And while it’s perfectly possible to go on and on about Orm’s list of achievements, it’s much more fascinating to delve into the person she is under the stardom. Get to know our 2026 June/July cover star down below.
She’s Technically Acting Royalty
Talent clearly runs in the family. Orm is the daughter of Thai actress Koy Narumon Phongsupa, so the entertainment industry was never exactly unfamiliar territory. That said, she didn’t lean on the surname when she started out, reportedly auditioning independently at the beginning of her career. Orm and her mother eventually crossed paths as working professionals in The Secret of Us, marking a rare mother–daughter acting collaboration within mainstream Thai drama.
She’s Building A Career And A Transcript
Despite her natural screen presence, Orm didn’t originally plan on pursuing acting. Her early path was more academically focused—a side of herself she clearly hasn’t left behind, even after launching a successful on-screen career. In 2024, the star graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Economics from Srinakharinwirot University, and is currently working toward a master’s degree in Film and Digital Media at the same university. Do we smell a future filmmaker in the making?
LingOrm Is A Trailblazing Pairing
By now, you’ve most definitely seen or heard of LingOrm, the duo made up of Orm Kornnaphat and Lingling Kwong, popularised by their work in The Secret of Us. The pairing was not only popular, but somewhat revolutionary—The Secret of Us marked the first sapphic lead pairing for the television network Channel 3, and was a breakout hit in the Thai GL space. Since then, LingOrm have gone on to do brand campaigns and public appearances together, most notably making their highly anticipated Paris Fashion Week debut as Dior brand ambassadors in March 2025.
She’s Got A Side Quest In Fashion
Apparently the double life of an actress and student is just too easy for Orm. The young talent is also the founder of Keep Silent, a fashion label she launched in 2024. Spanning bucket hats, casual t-shirts, and street style sweatpants, the brand has been positioned as an extension of Orm’s minimal and fun personal aesthetic. Keep Silent also frequently collaborates with Thai fashion and lifestyle brand, Always Wonder, which is founded by Lingling Kwong. Another perfect LingOrm partnership to add to the list!
Her Pets Are Instagram Famous
Orm’s famous family just keeps growing. Known as a certified pawrent, Orm is a devoted owner to a Pomeranian named Uni, who has a dedicated Instagram account under the username, uni.sdiary. Uni’s frequent appearances alongside Orm have made the pup a star in his own right among the fandom. His Instagram is home to a few other of Orm’s animal family, including a turtle named Juad and a fish named Fwend. The actress also used to have a Monk parakeet named Abu, said to be gifted to her by co-star Lingling Kwong. Sadly, Abu has since flown on to greener pastures. While Uni and friends have been relatively silent on Instagram as of late, here’s hoping that the menagerie will return with some Insta-worthy posts soon.
