The Matthayom 3 (Grade 9) student, known only as Kreaw, goes to Udomsitthisuksa School in Sangkhlaburi. He was spotted while Louis Vuitton's men's line designer Kim Jones and the team of fashion magazine GQ Germany were shooting at the ancient Muang Badan temple in Kanchanaburi. Photographer Brett Lloyd noticed the striking young Thai and decided to hire him on the spot.

Jones held a held a pop-up store for his Spring/Summer 2016 collection at Siam Paragon in February.

Despite the internet hype about Kreaw's modeling debut, the fashion world is less glamorous than you might think. According to Thairath, he was only paid B1,000 for his contribution to the campaign.
