Channel 3 has announced its year-end mega-drama 'Guard the Land,' a border-spanning epic blending romance, war, and the drug trade.

The drama premieres October 22, 2026, airing Wednesdays and Thursdays at 20:30.
Channel 3 launches its year-end mega-drama 'Guard the Land,' starring Phan, Ice, Um, Alex, and Om in a sweeping tale of love and war. Young soldier Chonlat (Phan Nawas) dies clashing with drug dealers, leaving his mother and nurse girlfriend Irene (Ning Saranya) devastated. On the Thai border, Kaset warriors Mintada (Ice Phanuwat) and Si Phrai (Alex Rendell) swap guns for books as exchange students, where Mintada falls for Phanthusa (Um Isaya). Their cross-border romance triggers tragedy when Phanthusa's father shoots Mintada, who vanishes into the border river. Phanthusa grieves until Chonlat, also scarred by loss, helps her heal. Mintada survives, becomes a key rebel fighter, and crosses into Thailand seeking medicine, reuniting with Phanthusa — reigniting Chonlat's heartache. As the Kaset face a final assault by the Sawin regime at the river frontier, duty and love collide for Chonlat, Mintada, and Phanthusa. Premieres Thursday, October 22, 2026 at 20:30 on Channel 3. Written by Pan Dee, teleplay by Jarunporn Prapakprai, directed by Phutthanes Hongmanop. Executive producers: Noppakhun Komarachun and Priyanuch Panpradab from Pee Jin Jong Production. Airs Wednesdays and Thursdays at 20:30 on Channel 3. Full cast list includes Nawas Pupanthachasit as Chonlat, Isaya Hosuwan as Phanthusa, Phanuwat Premmanee as Mintada, Alex Rendell as Si Phrai, and many others.
