Actor and model
At 16 years old, Maurer was approached at Siam Square to try out modeling. From then on, he started doing photo shoots, commercials and music videos. In 2007, he made his feature film debut in a leading role in Love of Siam, written and directed by Chukiat Sakweerakul. The role "Tong" was his first big break; it brought him many accolades and instant fame far beyond Thailand's borders. Commenting on his newfound fame, Maurer said, "I didn't want to do it, acting wasn't on my to-do list." He decided to do the movie because he trusted director Chukiat and the movie would give him many opportunities and money to help his family.
He won the Best Actor award in the Starpics Thai Films Awards, and was also nominated in the Bangkok Critics Assembly and Star Entertainment Awards.
Director Bhandit Rittakol had approached Maurer for Boonchu 9, but he was tied up with other projects. He was cast in the 2008 Chatchai Naksuriya film Friendship. The film is set around 1983. Maurer starred opposite Apinya Sakuljaroensuk, as a 12th grade student. That same year, he appeared in a segment of the four-story anthology 4 Romance, (segment "Joob" or Kiss) directed by Rashane Limtrakul. Maurer's projects after 2008 included a comedy-horror film written and directed by Yuthlert Sippapak, and the 2009 film Rahtree Reborn, in which he starred opposite Chermarn Boonyasak.
Maurer gained popularity after he starred in the 2010 film First Love and Thailand's highest grossing film of all time, Pee Mak.
