Tod Panapong Reveals That His First Love is Transgender
Thai actor and model Tod Panapong first came to the attention of the audience with his role as ‘Nick’ in the series ‘What the Duck’ that aired in 2018. After that, he focused on modeling rather than acting and disappeared from the audience’s lips for a while.
However, in 2023, he played the main character in the BL (Boys' Love) series ‘Venus in the Sky’ and regained the love and support of the fans.
In addition, Tod is usually known for his real-life love life. Tod has been dating actor Jo Kavinpat since 2016, and this matter has been a secret that has not been confirmed for many years.
However, in 2025, they broke up. Only after this breakup have both parties revealed their ten-year relationship, so fans are both happy and sad.
As you all know, Tod is currently participating in ‘Love (X) Reality’, a genderless dating show where people can find partners regardless of their gender.
The show airs every Saturday on the WeTV platform and has now completed 8 episodes. By now, fans have surely been enjoying the usual heart-wrenching moments of dating shows.
In the last episode, viewers will have seen a special segment where the contestants shared some of their past stories. In it, Tod also opened up about his first love.
As everyone expected, Tod’s first love was not a regular man or woman, but a transgender woman. In Thailand, they are called Ladyboys.
When Tod fell in love with that woman, he was only 16 years old, almost 20 years ago. At that time, Thailand was still not as open and understanding about sexuality was still lacking, and Tod's first love story was not easy.
But Tod, regardless of what his friends or those around him thought about his relationship, was brave enough to love. He focused on his feelings and revealed that even though they were only together for a short time, it was a very happy relationship.
Even now, he is still proud of his courage at that time. Moreover, everyone respects and emulates Tod for sharing this story without hesitation on the screen, which is eagerly awaited by many viewers.
Within hours of the episode airing, Tod's story went viral among the audience, and everyone was praising him.
After learning about his unexpected past, many concluded that he is a pansexual who loves people regardless of their gender, sexuality, or LGBT status. However, it is important to note that a person's sexual orientation is something that cannot be accurately predicted based on personal opinion unless they express it themselves.
