In 2021, it was announced that Nattawin would return as an actor in the Thai boys' love (BL) series, KinnPorsche The Series, in the lead role of Porsche.

On 24 August 2023, the Thai historical movie, Man Suang starring Nattawin in the lead role as a traditional Thai dancer, Khem was released. The movie smashed Thailand box office records earning more than 11 million baht nationwide on the first day, breaking the record for the highest number of movie ticket reservations in 20 years of Thai movies.[8] On 29 February 2024, Man Suang was released for worldwide audience on Netflix.[9]

In September 2023, Nattawin was named Friend of the Maison Southeast Asia for Swiss luxury watchmaker and jeweler, Piaget.[10] Shortly after his second collaboration with Piaget in April 2024, Nattawin is appointed as Global Ambassador of Piaget.[11] This marked a significant moment as the first Thai global ambassador for the 150 years old brand.[12]

By early 2024, Nattawin placed top amongst Thai Stars ranked by earned media value[13] from luxury fashion collaborations, with $48.2 million as tallied by marketing agency Lefty.[14]
