Social works and political activities
Pyay Ti Oo founded the "Pyay Ti Oo Education Foundation" with a seed investment of ($10000) 10 million kyats. Outstanding students, who qualify to study at medical universities but cannot afford the tuition, are eligible to apply for a grant from his foundation. Each student will receive K50,000 a month for the duration of their studies but must adhere to certain rules and regulations. Students who take up the scholarship are required to stay and work in Myanmar for five years after completing their degrees. They are also not permitted to leave the country or get married while they are studying. Poor grades and attendance records are also grounds for termination of support. For fund-raising, Pyay Ti Oo and his fellow artists made Pyay Ti Oo Foundation Fun-Raising Concert on 4 December 2011 at Thuwunna Indoor Stadium, Yangon. They produced two videos of that and donate all their artist fees.
Following the 2021 Myanmar coup d'état, Pyay Ti Oo participated in the anti-coup movement by attending anti-government rallies and denouncing the coup through social media, starting in February. He joined the "We Want Justice" three-finger salute movement. The movement was launched on social media, and many celebrities joined the movement.
On 17 February 2021, authorities issued an arrest warrant for Pyay Ti Oo, along with those for several other celebrities, for encouraging civil servants to join ongoing civil disobedience movement.
On 9 April 2021, Pyay Ti Oo and his wife Eaindra Kyaw Zin surrendered to the police. They were released on March 2, 2022.
