Bas Hassanat Piniwat is a Thai-American-Chinese singer and actor born in Bangkok and raised in Chiang Mai, Thailand. His cousin is actor Chaiyapol Julien Poupart. After studying at Montfort College in elementary school, he went on to study at the Thai-Chinese bilingual school Chongfah Xinseng Wanish Bamrung. However, when he quit table tennis and chose to pursue acting, he switched to a GED programme. Afterwards, he enrolled in the Faculty of Communication Arts at The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce. As a youth table tennis player, he was a District 5 representative (northern region). In national competition, Bas managed to place 2nd runner up. When he was substituted, he decided to make the career change from athlete to singer-actor. Starting out, he landed mainly extra work. It wasn't until "2Moons" (เดือนเกี้ยวเดือน) in 2017 that Bas landed his first leading role. In 2018, he joined the recurring cast of his first Chinese series "Cinderella Chef" (萌妻食神). In February 2018, he made his debut as a vocalist in the boy group SBFIVE (เอสบีไฟฟ์) which disbanded in 2020. In 2023, Bas left Star Hunter Entertainment (สตาร์ ฮันเตอร์ เอ็นเตอร์เทนเม้นท์) and signed as talent under Studio Wabi Sabi (สตูดิโอ วาบิ ซาบิ). Born Suradet Srithongnopphawong, he changed his last name in the beginning of his career before changing his first name to Hassanat in 2024.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
