Controversies
In early April 2020, Vachirawit was embroiled in a controversy after he liked a tweet on Twitter from a Thai photographer containing four cityscape images with the caption that unintentionally referred to Hong Kong as a country. This caused an online uproar from Chinese fans and led him to apologize.

On 25 June 2020, GMM Grammy, the parent company of GMMTV where he is a talent, dispatched lawyers to the Technology Crime Suppression Division to file lawsuits against social media users accused of propagating malicious posts about him.
