Supanat "Aof" Chalermchaichareonkij (Thai: ศุภณัฐ เฉลิมชัยเจริญกิจ; RTGS: Suphanat Chaloemchaicharoenkit; born 31 July 1986) is a Thai singer, actor, and the winner of the second season of UBC Academy Fantasia in 2005.

Biography

Chalermchaichareonkij was born in Chai Nat, Thailand. He is the third and youngest son to a family who runs one of the largest construction material businesses in the province. He graduated with a Master of Business Administration from Dhurakij Pundit University in Bangkok.

He began singing at a young age and tried to participate in many singing contests. He won and lost contests on and off until his success on UBC Academy Fantasia season 2, the most popular reality show in Thailand. He won the show with the highest popular vote from an audience across the country.

After winning the reality show, Chalermchaichareonkij, along with all of the second season's contestants, released an album titled Ray Khai Fun (transl. 'Dream for Sale') with the label UBC Fantasia (now called True Fantasia) in October 2005. This followed his debut solo album, Show Aof, in March 2006; this album contains various styles of music including pop, hip-hop, and luk thung, with the pop song "Plian Jai Noi Dai Mai" (transl. 'Could you change your mind?') climbing to number one on Seed 97.5 FM's top 20 chart and broadcast nationwide for three weeks, as well as remaining number one in various national radio charts.

In October 2006, UBC Academy Fantasia contestants from both seasons one and two released an all-star album titled Dream Team. On it, Chalermchaichareonkij shows his talent in the luk thung genre on the song "Hua Jai Wang Wang" ('The Single Man's Heart'), the only of that style on the album.

After his debut and the all-star album, Chalermchaichareonkij shifted towards performing almost entirely luk thung. His second solo album, Rak Thon Rak Nan, features luk thung without pop, with luk thung superstars Aphaphorn Nakhonsawan, Pornchita Na Songkhla, Pamela Bowden, and Luk Nok Supaporn. The title track, "Rak Thon Rak Nan" ('Enduring Love, Lasting Love'), featured all four guests singing together.

In December 2007, he was invited to appear on Just the Two of Us, the most popular reality show hosted by Hunan TV in China, to promote luk thung music.

In 2009, Chalermchaichareonkij released another album, Su Kho Sa Mo Sorn, with Nim from True AF 5. This album covered popular songs and included only one new song, "Phu Chai Ngai Ngai". He released another album, Rue Doo Hang Kwam Rak, in early 2010 from a cooperation between True Fantasia and Sure Audio. It yielded two singles: "Khad Kwan Aob Aun Yang Rang" and "Roy Yim Peun Nam Ta" in late 2010 with other AF winners from seasons 1–6.

Besides these albums, Chalermchaichareonkij also starred in drama series and movies. In October 2010, his contract with True Fantasia expired and he subsequently signed a 5-year contract with Grammy Gold.
