View Wannarat Deeply Saddened as She Bids Final Farewell to Grandfather Mac Weerakhanit Stands by Her Side for Support

After the young actress View Wannarat Sonthichai faced a great loss when her grandfather, Wichai Kluaymai Na Ayutthaya, passed away peacefully amid the family's deep sorrow.

Most recently, View Wannarat shared photos and videos of her grandfather's cremation ceremony on her Instagram story. At one point, she delivered a eulogy, saying her grandfather was a true fan who always followed her dramas, often asking if she had any new shows. After returning from filming, he would inquire about where she had filmed, the story, and its airing date. He always took pride in her work.

When View was at home, her grandfather would engage in long conversations, sharing old stories. He must have felt very lonely. She became busy with work and lost track of time, and before she realized it, her grandfather had aged significantly. Due to macular degeneration, his eyesight was poor, his walking was unsteady, and he was no longer able to do much. He would sit in a chair watching the news and sports he liked on TV, though mostly he would fall asleep rather than watch.

At one point, with a trembling voice, View said that her children and grandchildren wanted to do many things for their grandfather, but he fell asleep and did not wake up again. Everyone at home loved him dearly and misses him greatly. Their home feels very quiet now — no longer filled with the sound of the TV that he liked to watch or his voice asking if there was a new drama of View's today. She concluded by thanking all the guests who came to the cremation ceremony.

Many people attended the cremation ceremony, including figures from the entertainment industry who sent messages and wreaths to express their condolences and pay respects for the passing of her grandfather. Meanwhile, Mac Weerakhanit Kanwatthanakul, View's boyfriend, stayed close by her side to offer support.
