History
All three members of this band were former actors who were played as the students in A-Nueng-Kid-Tung-Por-Sung-Khaeb (Thai: อนึ่งคิดถึงพอสังเขป). Boyscout was the first boy band to form as a trio at RS Promotion. They were the second boy band to appear with Hijack.[1]
The band released two studio albums in 1993 and 1995, and a one-off special album.
While promoting the release of their third studio album, band member Ta-Winrawee was found to be a drugs criminal. Because of this they decided to eventually split up.[2]
After 15 years, Boyscout returned as a band again. They regained some fame, until Joe-Tanut Chimtaum died from a heart attack on September 11, 2017.[3]
