Thai entertainment industry mourns the loss of beloved comedian and actor Danny Sriphinyo, who passed away on April 20, 2025, at the age of 57. His wife, Pojanee Sriphinyo, known as Kwang, confirmed the news through a heartfelt social media post, sharing that Danny died peacefully at 12:54 p.m. At Jaoprayayom Hospital in Suphan Buri Province.
The announcement came after Danny had been hospitalized since April 14 due to an irregular heartbeat. According to his wife, he had initially experienced body aches and self-medicated, but when his condition worsened and he began struggling to breathe, she rushed him to the hospital. Medical evaluation revealed low blood pressure, arrhythmia, and signs resembling pulmonary edema, leading to his admission to the intensive care unit where he underwent dialysis.
In her emotional post, Kwang shared a clip showing the moments leading up to Danny’s hospital arrival, capturing his final conscious hours. She also revealed his last wish: if anything were to happen to him, he wanted his funeral arrangements made at a local temple near their home to avoid burdening the family. Preparations are underway to move his body to Wat Pa Sakae in Tambon Pa Sakae, Doem Bang Nang Buat District, for merit-making ceremonies.
Danny’s health history included a cerebral blood vessel rupture in 2009, from which he recovered with support from senior figures in the entertainment industry. Notably, veteran comedian Pa Kik Kiart Kitjaroen and artist Tik Glinsri helped cover his medical expenses during that time. Pa Kik later visited Danny in the hospital upon learning of his condition, underscoring the deep bonds within the Thai comedy community.
Friends and colleagues have since expressed their grief online. Comedian Tak Burirun posted a tribute featuring cherished memories and photos, reflecting on Danny’s decades-long contribution to bringing laughter to Thai audiences. Known for his wit, warmth, and generosity, Danny leaves behind a legacy not only as a performer but as a cherished friend and family man.
As of now, the family has not released further details about public funeral proceedings, but they have emphasized their desire for a quiet, intimate ceremony in accordance with Danny’s wishes. Fans and peers continue to share condolences, celebrating the joy he brought to countless lives through his work in television, film, and live comedy.
