As much as I love a good series, I also enjoy reading novels because they offer a different experience, and sometimes, different storylines.
Here's a list of Thai GL authors whose novels have been adapted into series.
Which Thai GLs Are Based on Novels and Who Wrote Them?
Average Price for Translated Thai GL Novels
As of writing, the English-translated novels I've seen on Meb range from around THB 329 (about USD 10) to THB 439 (about USD 14).
If you can read Thai, you'll benefit not only from reading the original source material but also from lower prices, since the OG is always cheaper than the translations.
Aside from English, I've also seen Indonesian, Portuguese, and Spanish versions on Meb.
Thai GL Authors Behind Series Adaptations
Note: I used the author's X profile pictures, which is why Daniel Radcliffe is here. 🤭
Zezeho
Zezeho brought us the fantasy romance stories Reverse 4 You (ChristineMae) and Reverse With Me (NattPitcha).
More recent series adaptations include Like a Palette (PrighkhingFah), which premiered last year, and the upcoming MilkLove drama Ditto.
Snow Leopard (เสือดาวหิมะ)
After GMMTV adapted Whale Store xoxo (MilkLove) last year, two more of Snow Leopard's novels will be adapted this year: Bake Love Feelings (ViewMim) and Enemies With Benefits (JanJingjing).
Chao Planoy (เจ้าปลาน้อย)
Chao Planoy is the author behind several adaptations, including:
Gap (FreenBecky)
Blank (FayeYoko)
Pluto (NamtanFilm)
Us (EmiBonnie)
Mate (GraceOaey)
Apple My Love (OrmFolk)
Affair (LMSY)
My Marvellous Dream Is You (FayMay)
reallyb
Author reallyb brought us Roller Coaster (ShellyPundao) and the third LingOrm GL Wedding Dream (วาดฝันวันวิวาห์)
MeeNam
Two of MeeNam's novels have been adapted into series: The Secret of Us (LingOrm) and Poisonous Love (GinJay).
Flower of Memory (ดอกไม้แห่งความทรงจำ)
Four of Flower of Memory's novels will be adapted into series this year:
Moon Shadow (Emi Bonnie),
Remain (AndaLookaew),
My Only Sunshine (AtomMersedes)
Hidden Heart (NoonPraewa).
KA9ESAMA
While it's common for Thai GLs to be adapted from novels, ClaireBell's story was the opposite.
Showrunners Davika and Ter had the concept before giving it to KA9ESAMA. They knew that GLs were usually adapted from novels, so they wanted the same for ClaireBell.
If I understood correctly, KA9ESAMA co-wrote Petrichor as part of the writing duo SIXTEENSEVEN. It was later adapted into a GL starring EngLot.
Monmaw (ม่อนแมว)
Monmaw is the author behind The Loyal Pin (FreenBecky) and Somewhere Somehow (FayMay).
THEK34
KaoJaneJaneKao fans have THEK34 to thank for bringing us last year's hit series Love Design.
Ma-Bung
Motion Minds recently confirmed that ShellyPundao's next series will be based on Ma-Bung's novel, By Your Side.
FoxyFox
YingAom's upcoming GL was adapted from FoxyFox's novel of the same title, Buy My Boss.
Luxurious. W
Luxurious. W's novel Formidable Eyes (Khom Klang) will be adapted by Star Hunter, and will star BintPui.
Nalan (ณลัน)
Cranium, which will star FreenBecky, was based on Nalan's novel of the same name.
While there's no update yet on whether the series will push through, you may still enjoy the story through its novel.
Navika (นาวิกา)
After Apple My Love and Your Apple, Orm and Folk will reunite in Love Bound by Navika.
Takling Kaemjai (นามปากกา ตากลิ้งแก้มใจ)
New GL pair NattyYeepun will debut in the series adaptation of Takling Kaemjai's Frozen Valentine.
Karnrada (กานต์รดา)
AndaLookaew's debut GL Love Senior was adapted from a novel by Karnrada.
Serenista (เซเรนิส)
After debuting as a GL couple in Affair, Serenista's Harmony Secret reunited Lookmhee and Sonya in their second GL.
Peony (พีโอนี)
Enjoyed Denied Love? Then, don't forget to thank Peony, who wrote the novel that EnjoyJune's debut GL was based on!
Peony also wrote Chasing Love, which has been recently announced by Change2561 as the upcoming debut GL of NileNamwan.
Khun Puying (คุณผู้หญิง)
TKNur's first GL, Dangerous Queen, was based on the novel of the same name by คุณผู้หญิง.
Blue (น้ำเงิน นามสมมุติ)
MilkLove's high school romance 23.5 felt like a healing show for a lot of us, regardless of age. We have author Blue to thank for the novel 23.5: When the Earth is Spinning Around, which inspired the series!
Lambo (แลมป์โบ)
LMSY's third GL series, Hometown Romance, was based on สามีบ้านนอก by Lambo (แลมป์โบ).
While there's no English version yet, Lily House announced it will be released in February!
I can't find some of the authors on X, but if anyone knows their social media handles, please comment below so I can update the post. Thanks!
