Praiwan Wannabut ( Thai: ไพรวัลย์ วรรณบุตร; born 2 October 1991), nicknamed Parry ( Thai: แพรรี่), is a Thai influencer, writer, and actor. He was formerly a Buddhist monk known as Phra Maha Praiwan Worawanno ( Thai: พระมหาไพรวัลย์ วรวณฺโณ).
Praiwan was born into a poor family in Tha Mai, Chanthaburi. [1] Upon completing primary school, he entered monastic life so that he could further his study despite his family's financial situation. [1] He was first ordained as a novice in Sukhothai province. By the age of 18, he had attained Level 7 in the study of Pali, the language of the Theravada canon. [2]
He moved to Wat Soi Thong in Bangkok for advanced studies and became the first novice monk from Sukhothai to complete Level 9 in Pali – equivalent to a bachelor's degree. By the time he was 20, he was ordained as a monk under the auspices of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. [3] He graduated with two-second degrees from Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University and Ramkhamhaeng University. [4]
In September of 2021, he was made popular by his appearance on a Facebook Live in a joint appearance with Sompong Nakhonthaisong (Luang Phi Sompong Talbuddhadho). More than 200,000 people watched the livestream. The Facebook Live was unpopular among Thai conservatives, however, as they believed the duo was making a mockery of Buddhism. Fans defended them, auguring the duo wanted to teach about dharma to Thai teenagers in a contemporary fashion. [5] [6]
He is no longer a monk, deciding instead to instead pursue a career in entertainment and literature. [7] He also has been an influencer and actor since February 2022. He is openly LGBTQ+. [8]
