Chatchai Plengpanich ({{langx|th|ฉัตรชัย เปล่งพานิช}}; born January 17, 1960) is a Thai film and television actor. He has appeared in many lakorns (Thai soap operas) and feature films.

Biography

Chatchai was born in Kanchanaburi Province. Having a police officer as a father meant that the family relocated around Thailand constantly throughout his childhood. He attended a prestigious boarding school in Nakhon Pathom (King's College), where he found his passion for rugby.

He became widely known for playing the role of Tee Yai, a real robber in the late '70s. Tee Yai's story was adapted into a TV drama in same name on Channel 5 in 1985.

He met his wife, Sinjai Plengpanich, on a movie set, in which they played the lead characters. They had many chance encounters during the next four years and decided to date each other. A year later, they decided to get married. They have three children.
