## Early life and start in entertainment

Max entered the entertainment industry through modeling, working as a runway model and shooting magazine spreads before taking screen roles.<sup>[4](https://www.trueplookpanya.com/knowledge/content/92285)</sup> Rather than a performing-arts route, he studied civil engineering at King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi, a detail Thai profiles repeat alongside his early modeling work.<sup>[2](https://www.dramabl.com/actor/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup> His screen debut came in 2017 with a guest part in *Diamond Eyes*.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup>

**Name change.** In early 2022 he changed his given name from Saran to Kornthas after consulting a Buddhist monk, a practice common in Thailand.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup> Older credits and database entries still carry the previous name, so his filmography appears under both Saran and Kornthas Rujeerattanavorapan and can be split in half by mistake.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup>

## Acting career

The career took hold in 2020 with the role of Dew in *Why R U?: The Series*.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup> From there he became a fixture of the Domundi roster: Sun in *Y-Destiny* (2021), Titan in *Close Friend* (2021), and the role he is best known for, Yi (Phayak Chatdecha Chen) in *Cutie Pie* (2022), which he carried through to *Naughty Babe* (2023) as a lead.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup> Thai profiles also credit him with a strong rating year in 2022 for *Cutie Pie*, in which he played the well-dressed Hia Yi.<sup>[4](https://www.trueplookpanya.com/knowledge/content/92285)</sup>

Later credits include Thai in *Two Worlds* (2024), Thorn in *Zomvivor* (2025), and Sun in *Suntiny* (2025).<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup> 2026 has been his densest year: Pen-neung, Jay's best friend, as a guest in *Payback*; Lalit in *ChermChey*; X in *Duang with You*; and Song/Sam Traiphop Adisuan in *[Your Third](https://www.edgepedia.org/your-third)*, his first outright lead of that year.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup> In *Payback* his character Pen-nueng appears in two episodes broadcast in July 2026.<sup>[5](https://www.tvmaze.com/people/255194/kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan)</sup>

Beyond acting, his Domundi work extends to hosting on programs including *DMD Friendship The Reality*, in which he appears as emcee.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://fmdb.mov/en/people/2771759)</sup> IMDb's biography also notes that he works as a DJ.<sup>[3](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm11529274/bio/)</sup>

## Partnership with Nat Natasit Uareksit

Max works as one half of the pairing **MaxNat** with actor Nat Natasit Uareksit, a partnership that began with supporting roles in *Why R U* (2020) and continued through *Cutie Pie*, *Naughty Babe*, and later lead roles such as Sam in *Your Third*, in which the two are billed as the leads.<sup>[1](https://blglflix.com/profiles/max-kornthas-rujeerattanavorapan/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[7](https://www.iq.com/album/your-third-2026-2aoejlaowv9?lang=en_us&sh_pltf=4)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[8](https://kprofiles.com/domundi-pairings-profile/)</sup>
