== Personal Life ==
'''Prukchanon Thongchay''' (born '''Thanadach Sriracha''') was born on April 21, 2006, at [[Chaophraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital]] in [[Prachinburi Province]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-05-07 |title=Profile of Ahfong–Prukchanon Thongchay, a handsome young Thai-Chinese boy |url=https://board.postjung.com/1545236 |access-date=2025-08-23 |website=Postjung.com |language=th}}</ref>
He later changed his surname to “Thongchay” after being adopted by his maternal grandmother. His birth name was “Thanadet,” but it was changed to “Prukchanon” based on a fortune-teller’s advice. The name means “a great tree of happiness and stability.” He also has a Chinese name, Li Chengcheng ({{zh|t=李丞丞|p=Lǐ Chéngchéng}}).
Prukchanon is the adopted son of Kanokorn Thongchay (his biological grandmother) and Wanchai Thongchay, both of whom are of [[Thai Chinese]] descent. Kanokorn is a businesswoman, while Wanchai is an employee of the [[State Railway of Thailand]]. He previously worked in [[Prachinburi Province]] before being transferred to [[Laem Chabang Port]] in [[Rayong Province]], later to [[Si Racha Municipality]] in [[Chonburi Province]], and eventually back to his hometown in [[Prachantakham District]], [[Prachinburi Province]].
Prukchanon is of Chinese–Taiwanese–Hainanese descent. His biological mother is a [[Thai Chinese]] woman and Kanokorn’s daughter, while his biological father is a Thai man from Dong Phra Ram Municipality, [[Prachinburi Province]]. His mother gave birth to him at the age of 18.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-05-29 |title=Profile of rising actor “Ahfong Prukchanon” — a handsome young man with a soft look |url=https://board.postjung.com/1625712 |access-date=2025-08-23 |website=Postjung.com |language=th}}</ref>
His original nickname, “Ahfong” (อาฟง), was given by his biological father. However, since it was somewhat difficult to pronounce, it was often shortened to “Avo” or “Wo”, meaning “something above the ocean.” During childhood, he was also known by several nicknames such as “Junior,” “Baseball,” “Chengcheng,” “Ah Cheng,” and “Court.”
He grew up in [[Prachantakham District]], [[Prachinburi Province]], in a [[Chinese people|Chinese family]] household. He was especially close to his adoptive parents, Kanokorn and Wanchai, even after learning the truth about his biological roots. He is also distantly related to actor Bom [[Thana Iamniyom]].
His biological mother later had three more children:
*Kannika Klinchanhom (born 2008)
*Phiphatphong Jaidee (born 2018)
*Jiratha Jaidee (born 2019)
Prukchanon has spoken openly about the differences in parenting styles between his adoptive parents. He described being closest to his adoptive mother, Kanokorn, as they talked regularly and stayed in contact every day. She took care of his meals and health, rarely scolded him, and often showed affection. His adoptive father, Wanchai, on the other hand, tended to advise him on future plans, careers, and life decisions—he was permissive but not very expressive emotionally.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Prukchanon Thongchay |url=https://record.fandom.com/th/wiki/%E0%B8%9E%E0%B8%A4%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%A9%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%97%E0%B9%8C_%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A2 |access-date=2025-10-01 |website=Record Wiki |language=th}}</ref>
Prukchanon revealed that his biological parents separated when he was very young, and he never met his biological father. He began to question his origins during kindergarten and eventually, in Grade 8, after being teased by classmates for not resembling his adoptive parents, he confronted his grandmother, who told him the truth. He accepted it with understanding and continued to love and respect his adoptive parents deeply.
At the age of 17, he reconnected with his paternal relatives and finally met his biological father, Phosri Sriracha, for the first time. His biological mother, Maneeporn Maha-amnat, had already passed away. He expressed that he was happy to learn about his real family roots, calling it an important step toward understanding himself better.
Prukchanon added, {{quote|...Although my life’s path is unlike anyone else’s, I’m proud of the family I have and grateful to everyone who has raised and supported me along the way...|Prukchanon Thongchay}}
== Education ==
Prukchanon began his education at Wuttinan School, [[Rayong Province]], in Kindergarten 3. He then continued his studies in Grade 1 at [[Bangkok Christian College]], [[Bangkok]], and in Grade 2 at Bangphra Wittaya School, [[Chonburi Province]]. Afterwards, he completed Grades 3–6 at Wat Si Prachantakham Community School, [[Prachinburi Province]].
For lower secondary education, he attended Prachantaratbumrung School, [[Prachinburi Province]], majoring in the Chinese language program, and continued studying there until high school. However, during Grade 11, he dropped out due to the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] and incidents of bullying. Later, he restarted Grade 10 in the French language program at Prachin Kanlayani School but studied only for one semester before facing further bullying. Consequently, he decided to complete his education through the [[Non-Formal Education]] (NFE) system, where he eventually earned his high school diploma.
At the higher education level, Prukchanon enrolled in the [[Faculty of Communication Arts]], majoring in Acting, at Ming Chuan University in [[Taiwan]]. During his studies, he developed a strong interest in acting for both [[film]] and television, actively learning both the theoretical and practical aspects of [[performance]] and dance.<ref>{{Cite web |last=admin |date=2019-05-09 |title=Check Out The Winners of 'Kazz Awards 2019' |url=https://www.thaiupdate.info/winners-kazz-awards-2019/ |access-date=2025-10-07 |website=Thai Update |language=en-US}}</ref>

== Personal Life ==
Prukchanon is a cheerful person who enjoys listening to music and playing instruments such as the piano and violin (though he eventually stopped playing them). He also has a passion for photography and dancing, which are among his regular hobbies.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Praew.com |date=2023-06-12 |title=Lazada gathers over 30 celebrities for an exclusive performance at “Lazada 6.6 WOW FESTIVAL” celebrating the mid-year shopping extravaganza |url=https://praew.com/lifestyle/news/505793.html |access-date=2025-10-06 |website=Praew – All Luxe You Can Reach |language=en-US}}</ref>
In terms of [[sports]], he enjoys [[badminton]], [[swimming]], [[bowling]], [[basketball]], and [[tennis]]. His father began teaching him music when he was 10 years old. While living in [[Taiwan]], he often played [[bowling]] with friends of various nationalities, including [[Chinese]], [[Vietnamese]], [[Korean]], [[Taiwanese]], and [[Thai]].
Prukchanon has a deep love for learning languages, especially [[Mandarin Chinese]], as his family is of [[Chinese]]–[[Taiwanese]] descent. He was encouraged to speak the language from a young age. He also regularly participates in religious activities and has great faith in [[Buddhism]]. In 2022, he was ordained as a novice monk during his biological mother’s funeral ceremony.
During his childhood, he was a Protestant Christian, following his biological father’s faith, and received baptism in 2009. Later, he converted to [[Roman Catholicism]]. In 2011, he moved to live with his adoptive mother (his biological grandmother), where he frequently visited Chinese shrines, made merit, followed the [[vegetarian festival]], and celebrated [[Chinese New Year]]. Over time, he embraced [[Mahayana Buddhism]], following his Chinese family’s beliefs and traditions.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-11-21 |title=2022 GMMTV Thai dramas and films: Thai remake of “You Are the Apple of My Eye,” “Midnight Series,” “Boarding School,” and more – Which one are you most looking forward to? |url=https://tw.news.yahoo.com/2022-gmmtv%E6%B3%B0%E5%8A%87-%E9%9B%BB%E5%BD%B1-%E6%B3%B0%E7%89%88-%E9%82%A3%E4%BA%9B%E5%B9%B4-054828704.html |access-date=2025-10-06 |website=Yahoo News |language=zh-Hant-TW}}</ref>
== Career ==
=== Prukchanon’s Path in the Industry ===
Ahfong – Prukchanon Thongchay began his journey in the entertainment industry from a young age, driven by his passion for art, singing, and acting. During his school years, he frequently participated in stage activities such as short plays, singing contests, and dance performances, which helped him build confidence and develop his performance and communication skills.
During his early secondary school years, Ahfong began attending casting calls for commercials and small-scale drama projects in Bangkok. He made his first on-screen appearance as a supporting actor in the television drama Duang Jai Nai Fai Nhao (“Hearts in the Winter Fire”) on [[Channel 3]] in 2017, marking his official debut in the acting industry.
Although his initial roles were relatively minor, Ahfong received praise from directors and crew members for his dedication and positive working attitude. This led to continued opportunities in later productions, including [[Fai Himma]] ([[Channel 7]]) and [[Krong Karm]] ([[Channel 3]]), gradually earning him recognition as a promising young actor.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Awards |first=Asian Television |title=Asian Television Awards |url=https://www.asiantelevisionawards.net/ |access-date=2025-10-06 |website=www.asiantelevisionawards.net |language=vi}}</ref>
In later interviews, Ahfong described acting as “an art of emotional communication,” believing that every role is an opportunity to learn about different perspectives and human experiences. This philosophy has inspired him to continue growing and refining his craft in the performing arts.
Following his acting work, Prukchanon began pursuing a career as an independent artist under the name PRUKCHANON, debuting with the mini-album AHFONG. The album attracted attention among indie pop and dream pop listeners for its soft yet melancholic sound and introspective tone.<ref>{{Cite web |title=PRUKCHANON |url=https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCPrPGZ7_sbUwWUImpmRTPDg |access-date=2025-08-20 |website=YouTube Music |language=th-TH}}</ref>
He has also participated in various acting and modeling projects, as well as written and composed his own songs, such as “AB Blood,” “2104,” and “BYEBYE,” which received warm responses from the new generation of indie music fans.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ahfong Prukchanon Thongchay |url=https://drama-wiki-eng.fandom.com/wiki/Ahfong_Prukchanon_Thongchay |access-date=2025-10-01 |website=Drama Wiki Eng Wiki |language=en}}</ref>
