Nida Patcharaveerapong (Thai: นิดา พัชรวีระพงษ์; 13 September 1984 — 24 February 2022), formerly and still colloquially known as Pattaratida Patcharaveerapong (ภัทรธิดา พัชรวีระพงษ์), better known by nickname Tangmo (แตงโม),[1] was a famous Thai actress known for her main roles in several Thai dramas.[2] She made her acting debut in 2003.[3][4]
She was born in Bangkok as Tangmo Patcharaveerapong. Her parents split up when she was just five years old, so she has always lived with her father. She has only one sibling, Toi-Dayos, a half-brother.[5]
She made her show business debut when she was a Matthayom 1 grader (7th grade) by filming commercials. Many years later, in 2002, she entered the Miss Teen Thailand Pageant and placed as the fourth runner-up.[6][7]
Nida was Protestant following Phuket-born Trang father, Sophon Patcharaveerapong. Her mother, Panida Siriyudthayothin, is a former actress from Lopburi who worked in the 1970s.
At the end of 2013, she got engaged to a fellow entertainer, Phakin Khamwilaisak. The couple were engaged for approximately two years before breaking up in 2015.[8]
On the night of February 24, 2022, Tangmo Nida fell from a speedboat into Chao Phraya River. Her body was recovered two days later on February 26, 2022.[9] On April 26, 2022 the Royal Thai Police ruled that no foul play was involved in her death, but pressed charges against six people for "recklessness" and involvement in her death. Tangmo, was cremated this afternoon (Tuesday) at the crematorium in the compound of the Rangsit Methodist Church in Pathum Thani province after the funeral. Her remains were collected by her family members & encased into pendants for loved ones.[10][11]
