Prabda completed his elementary school education in Bangkok, then attended high school at the Cambridge School of Weston in Weston, Massachusetts. He went to Parsons School of Design in Manhattan, New York City, for two years, studying communication design, and four more years at the Cooper Union, where he studied graphic design under Dan Friedman and Milton Glaser and film with Robert Breer. He graduated from Cooper Union in 1997 and returned to Thailand in 1998 for military service.
He is widely known in Thailand as a writer and translator. His story collection, Kwam Na Ja Pen (Probability), won the prestigious S.E.A. Write Award in 2002, when he was 29. Some of his books and stories have been translated into Japanese. He has translated numerous modern western classics such as The Catcher in the Rye, A Clockwork Orange, and Lolita.
Prabda is also a prolific book designer, having worked as a graphic designer continuously since his New York days. In 2004, he co-founded a small publishing imprint called Typhoon Books and in 2012 an independent bookshop called Bookmoby Readers' Cafe.
Prabda was for a time a film essayist for an English newspaper in Thailand, but it was a chance meeting with the "Thai New Wave" director Pen-ek Ratanaruang that initiated his involvement with the Thai film industry. He was asked by Pen-ek to collaborate on a screenplay that eventually became the film "Last Life in the Universe". In 2015, Prabda wrote and directed his first feature film, "Motel Mist", which was selected to premiere and compete at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2016. Edit Biography
