![]() However, Utt gained more than just a plane fare back to California. Utt spent his first year in Thailand working as a part-time model while studying at AU, just to earn extra cash so he could travel to, among other places, his home in California. His parents sent him to Thailand so he could live with his grandparents, in order “to get to know his roots.” Born in California to Thai-Chinese parents, he grew up in the “golden state” and attended California State University, Northridge, majoring in Biology before moving to Thailand, where he transferred to Assumption University (AU), majoring in Communication Arts. With over a decade of experience in the entertainment industry, Utt has made a name for himself, especially in Southeast Asia. “And now, the interesting thing is it’s so calm here for me, and it’s so orderly and I really feel the vibrant activity.” “I remember when I came to Indonesia the last time was in 1998, and it was the riots… For me, at that time, coming to Indonesia and seeing the conflict, that’s what stood out for me,” says the U.S.-born Utt. Known to his fans as Utt, he also did a photo shoot and interview with DA MAN. It has been several years since his last visit to Indonesia, but model/actor/VJ Gregg Uttsada Panichkul dropped into Jakarta recently and hit the fabulous “green carpet” for the MTV VJ Hunt.
