To be a good actress we

must embrace all the

roles we are given.

Out of all the characters you have portrayed, which was
your favourite?
My favourite was when I acted as Peung (Bee) in the lakorn Mae
Kah in 2013. Peung’s actions mimic real-life scenarios that people
in the substandard regions usually face. The character only cares
about herself and what she wants, although it is the opposite of
what her older sister, who takes care of the family, deems right.
I liked portraying this character, as she taught younger children
how they shouldn’t behave in front of their parents and the public.
Many people still remember me for this role.
Did you regret any of the characters that you have portrayed?
I think to be a good actress we must embrace all the roles we are
given. Thus, I do not regret any roles that I have been assigned.

You are currently typecast as the nang rai (nemesis) in all the
soap operas you have acted in. If you could break out of that
stereotype, what would be your dream role?
I want to act in a period drama — a historic tale set in Thailand.
Being in an international film would also be my dream.

You have been approached for a role in Bollywood before, why
didn’t you accept the offer?
I was once cast in a Fair and Lovely commercial in India. While
living there for a month, I felt that the place just wasn’t for me.

What improvements would you suggest for Thai television
soap operas?
Thai TV series should have seasons, so that the audience has a
chance to get attached to the character, instead of soap operas
telecasted only three to five times a week for about three months.

Is it challenging to keep up to date with all the beauty
requirements of the industry?
Yes, we have to make sure we look our best onscreen because we
are always critiqued on our beauty and body shape. As they say,
the TV adds an extra 10 pounds to your body, so film stars will
always assure that they are in shape, healthy and fit. We also have
to look good off-screen, so whenever our viewers meet us, we
retain that onscreen image.
What is your skincare routine like?
As I wear a lot of makeup, exercising and drinking lots of water are
important to me. Hydrating the skin is absolutely vital, as our skin
needs to be nourished with vitamin C, D and E.
