"Sapan Dao" (TH:สะพานดาว) is a 1999 Thai television miniseries adaptation of the 1993 social-conscious best-selling novel of the same name by Thommayanti. Directed by Thapakorn Disayanon, starring Art Supawatt Purdy (as Supawatt Aumprasit) and Sririta Jensen. Produced by Kantana Video Production and written for television by Jintabutr, "Sapan Dao" was originally made for Ch. 5 as part of the 'TeleFive' Network primetime line-up. Fortunately, Kantana decided last minute to present it to the big boss at Ch. 7, Thailand most-watched television network. As luck would have it, Ch. 7 recognised right away a hit, and bought the right to the story for its Wednesday & Thursday primetime slot. "Sapan Dao" became one of ch. 7 biggest hits for 1999 and made Art an overnight sensation in the process.
