The son of Thai diplomat Kaosayananda, he lived and studied in Pakistan, where his father was posted in Islamabad as an ambassador.

His second film and American debut (which he directed under the shortened name "Kaos") was the 2002 thriller Ballistic: Ecks vs.

Sever, which upon release was widely panned by both critics and moviegoers as one of the worst films ever made.

[1] Kaosayananda's post-Ballistic films include Tekken 2: Kazuya's Revenge (2014), Zero Tolerance (2015) and One Night in Bangkok (2020).

[2] Dead Earth tells a parallel story to Kaosayananda's The Driver, focusing on events that happen within the same post-apocalyptic world, with characters and locations intersecting between both films.
