Early Foundations
Traiwas was born in a Thai family in Bangkok, Thailand, where the foundation for creativity and hard work was laid during his childhood but it wasn't enough for him. While he was growing up in a close-knit family, he was active in academically and extracurricular activities at home. During his free time, his main focus was arts—painting, dancing, and he always wanted to be the super model and a business person.
After graduating from Traimit Wittayalai School, he wanted to continue his education—but not in Thailand. He wanted to explore a different part of the world. So, he moved to New York City, where fashion is everywhere, along with his husband, who helped him see the other side of the world.

Tragedy & Strength
The loss of Traiwas’ mother in 2019 marked the start of a painful chapter. Not long after, he also lost his father and grandparents. With his family gone, Traiwas was forced to grow up quickly and face the world alone. Grieving and unsure, he held onto what was left of his family’s legacy. In the midst of it all, he turned to his older brother, Panudesh, for comfort—and a place to call home.

DEVOTION
While living with his brother, Traiwas met Chris Miller in the neighborhood. What began as a simple connection soon blossomed into a deep, romantic relationship. Their love gave Traiwas the strength to move forward through grief and uncertainty. Side by side, they began building a life together—supporting each other, growing together, and eventually starting a new chapter in New York City.

A New Chapter
Traiwas made the bold decision to move to New York City in 2023. Growing up in a neighborhood surrounded by challenges—including casinos and drugs—he had always longed for a better environment to grow and learn. New York, with its dynamic fashion scene, felt like the right place to pursue his passion and reshape his future.
Once in Manhattan, Traiwas wasted no time diving into the city’s vibrant energy. He enrolled in tech and business programs, sewing workshops, and joined nonprofit clubs. He attended fashion events, built meaningful connections with people from around the world, and began carving out his place in the industry. For Traiwas, this marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter.
