Early life and education
Nattawat was born in Bangkok, Thailand on 18 October 2004. He was nicknamed Fourth as he was born on King Rama IV's 200th birthday and because he is considered by his mother to be her fourth child, having experienced loss from her three previous pregnancies.[5][6] He is the eldest child and has one younger sister. His father was of Thai Chinese descent.[7] His mother, known as Mae Pui (Thai: แม่ปุ๋ย), is from the Isan province of Sakon Nakhon.[8][9]
Fourth shared that his mother wanted him to become a star ever since he was a child. As far as he could remember, she would take him to auditions since kindergarten (Anuban 3), but he often missed out due to being camera shy.[3] He aspired to work in the entertainment industry because he dreamed of being able to take care of his family.[10]
He graduated from Saint Gabriel's College by taking the grade twelve equivalency test.[11] He is currently studying law at Chulalongkorn University.[12]

Personal ventures
In February 2023, Fourth ventured into entrepreneurship with his own clothing line, Numone.[37] The name comes from the combination of nu from Thai หนู nu, mo from English mouse, and ne from Japanese 鼠 nezumi, each meaning "mouse". The word หนู nu can also be used as a pronoun to refer to a younger person, giving the brand name a feeling of youthful brightness. The name can also be reinterpreted as num and one, as in "number one".[38]
