Fans of Thai actor Est Supha Sangaworawong gathered in large numbers today at Gateway at Bangsue Mall in Bangkok. The 24-year-old GMMTV star took the stage for a special performance as part of the ‘AWC’s The Season of Giving 2026: Give a Hug. Give a Miracle’ event. It started at 4 p.m., and the place was packed with supporters eager to see him up close during the holiday season.
Est Supha first gained attention as a national swimmer before moving into acting. Many know him best for playing Po in the popular series ‘Thame-Po: Heart That Skips a Beat’ alongside William Jakrapatr. That role helped build a strong fan base, and his supporters call themselves Westies. They come from all over, including Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Ahead of the show, Westies got things going online. They pushed the trend #GiveAHugGiveAMiraclexEST starting around 3:45 p.m. Posts included messages like “Warm hugs” and “Est, you are unstoppable.” Some shared pictures of shark toys, cat hugs, and holiday setups with Christmas trees and giant teddy bears. It created a lot of excitement before Est even stepped out.
The event fits right into the year-end celebrations in Bangkok. Malls across the city have been putting up decorations and hosting activities to mark the shift to 2026. Gateway at Bangsue, a big shopping spot in the north of the city, turned into a festive area with lights and themes around giving and miracles. The hug idea seems to tie into spreading warmth during the holidays.
Est has been busy this year. He appeared in several GMMTV projects and keeps connecting with fans through events like this. Even when he felt under the weather at a recent New Year activity, he still showed up and interacted playfully, like meowing during games. Fans appreciate that kind of effort.
At today’s mall show, people waited for photos, waves, and whatever moments they could get. International fans joined in online, sharing live updates and quotes from the stage. It turned into a coordinated effort across countries, with posts and retweets keeping the energy high.
Events like this are common in Thailand around Christmas and New Year. Malls compete to draw crowds with celebrity appearances, concerts, and themed displays. For Est Supha, it gives a chance to thank supporters who followed his journey from swimming competitions to TV screens.
The crowd stayed cheerful throughout. Some brought signs or gifts. Others just wanted to see him perform songs or talk about his work. With upcoming projects mentioned, like a new series in 2026, fans have more to look forward to.
By evening, the mall felt full of holiday spirit. The Westies made sure Est knew how much they care, and the trend kept going strong on social media. It’s one of those simple events that brings people together at the end of the year.
