Veteran Actor Lung Ed Krailas Gets First Facelift at 76
Veteran actor Lung Ed Krailas, 76, underwent his first facelift with Dr. Darin Mueangthai to maintain a natural, age-appropriate look for continued casting opportunities.
Veteran actor Lung Ed Krailas (Krengkrai) has opened up about his decision to refresh his appearance at nearly 76, marking his first major cosmetic procedure. He entrusted his facelift to renowned surgeon Dr. Darin Mueangthai at The Sib Plastic Surgery. After a career spanning more than 100 productions — playing drivers, servants, and close family friends in period dramas — Lung Ed says aging naturally changed his look, and he worried it might affect his casting opportunities. "I don't want to change so much I lose myself; I just want to look appropriately good for my age and regain confidence," he explained. He emphasizes a natural, age-appropriate result over an overly youthful look, crediting Dr. Darin's expertise and noting that even stars like Petchara Chaowarat have visited the clinic. Lung Ed says he is very satisfied with the outcome, feeling his face still carries the familiarity audiences have known for decades.
