David Asavanond is a Thai-French actor born in France from a French mother and a half French half Thai father and then raised in Thailand from young age. At the age of 12, he was sent to study abroad in boarding schools in England until Asavanond was 19. He studied at Boston University and acquired a degree in Psychology. In 2006, Asavanond decided to pursue acting as a career and took off for New York to study acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. He finished a two-year training in 2008 and had nothing going for him until 2012. That was the year he left New York and went to Thailand to shoot a movie called “Countdown.” Because of that movie, Asavanond went on to receive Best Actor Awards from three of the most prestigious institutions of the country – The Thai National Film Association Award, The Bangkok Critics’ Assembly Award and the Golden Statue Award.
