Love your ask answers they’re so great!! Is it possible to have a general run/down of who is confirmed dating and who rumored to be dating?
Thanks! Lol i don't know if it's actually possible cuz the mix of fan-service, conservative investor dependency, and vague language put through translators makes it nearly impossible for active and legitimately dating CPs to come out in a way that's totally decisive. I’ll jus do my best, and you can judge the same way you judge the authenticity of other celebrity couples, I guess. I've kept it to the G and T side of the rainbow—that's my speciality. But lmk if you want to know others, and I'll do some research.
Official
These couples are officially dating. No ifs, ands, or buts. They have confirmed in an official capacity (in front of press or in written announcements). They are as official as any celebrity couple can be.
Porsch Apiwat & Arm Sappanyoo (married)
Mew Suppasit & Tul Pakorn (engaged)
Jeff Nathadej & Nat Thewphaingam (dating)
Yoon Phusanu & Ton Saran (first CP to officially announce they were dating, edit: but seem to be broken up...?)
Zee Pruk & Nunew Chawarin (officially announced on The Woody radio show)
Both Nuttapong & Newyear Kitiwhut (broke up after 12 years and an engagement)
Pong Pongsakorn & Tong Thanayut (officially announced by BoC before breaking up)
Don't Call It a Koojin
These couples (all CPs, except for Mike and Godji) have either made repeated statements on official platforms that heavily suggest they are dating, or they have made a statement on an unofficial platform like a livestream but have not confirmed it on an official platform (public interviews or in writing). Importantly, they are not denying they are dating. There's too much ambiguity to call it officially dating, but they are putting in efforts to see that their relationship is treated as more publicly legitimate than a koojin (the Thai word for imaginary coupling).
Note to the unfamiliar, despite other kinds of fan-service, CPs tend to avoid directly saying they are dating or referring to each other as partners or faen, the gender-neutral Thai term for a boyfriend/girlfriend. I’ve seen actors in interviews jump and immediately correct themselves when they cross that line, even in jest, so the below examples really stand out. Typically you can look up a ship name and “confirm” on tiktok or google for more evidence if you’re interested.
Billy Patchanon & Babe Tanatat (starting around the 14 minute mark)
Boss Chaikamon & Noeul Nuttarat (see here)
Chalarm Siam & James Pongsapak (see here)
Chance & Guno aka Wang Jyunhao (see here)
Daou Pittaya & Offroad Kantapon (see here)
Mike Chinnarat & Godji Tachakorn (see here)
Mos Panuwat & Isbanky Mondop (see here)
