On September 22nd, 2024, Thai national media reported that Akkaphan “Om” Namart, a famous Thai actor from Channel 7HD, has passed away at the age of 39 after battling cancer.
Channel 7HD, his agency, announced the sad news this morning, leading to an outpouring of condolences from fans and followers of his work.
Om Akkaphan had been diagnosed with heart muscle cancer in October 2023, which forced him to withdraw from all his acting projects. He reportedly underwent surgery and chemotherapy, followed by a long recovery period.
In May 2024, Om made a rare public appearance at the TDEX2024 diving event held at Queen Sirikit Convention Center, looking cheerful and healthy after months of absence. Fans warmly greeted him, and he took photos with them, though he had yet to resume acting.
Om Akkaphan had a prolific career, starring in several hit dramas, including Satja Nai Chum Joan, Insee Daeng (2019), and many more. Sadly, he passed away peacefully yesterday morning at the age of 39.
