National Artist and beloved long-time TV host Thanadsri Svasti died on Tuesday morning at age 93 following a drawn-out battle with cancer.

Administrators of the Facebook page dedicated to “KrobJukkawan”, one of the shows Thanadsri hosted, the former actor, writer and radio broadcaster went into steep decline on Sunday night.

He died at 11.35am Tuesday, surrounded by his offspring.

Thanadsri is perhaps best remembered as the host of the TV food programme “Shell Shuan Shim”.
