Dharmthai Plangsilp (Thai: ธามไท แพลงศิลป์, RTGS: Thamthai Phlaengsin, pronounced [tʰāːm.tʰāj pʰlɛ̄ːŋ.sǐn]; born January 2, 1996), known professionally as Timethai (ธามไท, [tʰāːm.tʰāj]), is a Thai singer, songwriter, and dancer. Timethai was discovered in 2010 when Kamikaze's casting staff came across Timethai's YouTube videos which have been uploaded by a channel named 'Dharmthai'.[1] Timethai's dancing and choreography skills, cultivated since he was 7 years old, which couple uniquely with his ability to play traditional Thai instruments such as the Thai alto xylophone, Thai alto bamboo xylophone and Kong Wong (Thai: ฆ้องวง),[2] captured the attention of the casting staff, who offered Timethai a one-year singing and dancing training opportunity, and soon signed him to their label Kamikaze under RS PLC. He graduated with a bachelor's degree from Srinakarinwirot University.
