Tayme Thapthimthong, previously a bodyguard and talent show contestant, finds himself cast in HBO's The White Lotus set in Thailand. Thriving in the role of Gaitok, a security guard at a luxury resort with a crush on a colleague played by Lisa from Blackpink, Tayme reflects on his rapid rise in the entertainment industry. Despite initial feelings of imposter syndrome, he expresses gratitude for his journey and transformation from a nightclub bouncer to television star, highlighting his upbringing in London as a third culture kid and overcoming challenges along the way.
When I think back to what I was doing a year ago compared to now, I feel very blessed and I appreciate everything so much.
Tayme was born and raised in London, where his Bangkok native parents ran a successful restaurant in the well-heeled Kensington district.
