thoughts at the time stage with opportunities for
expansion in various entertainment

when you decided to industries, which is different from
contest Miss Grand other stages like Miss Thailand World
and Miss Universe. The Miss Grand

Thailand despite the Thailand stage is guaranteed that
fact that there were the beauty queen will be an actress
on Channel 7. At that time, the

many more well-known purpose of the stage was to find
women who are role models for

stages such as Miss women together in society. The

Universe Thailand and organizer, Mr. Nawat is a reliable
person with a connection to

Miss Thailand World? corporate with Channel 7. So, I see it
as a new stage that was created by

highly experienced people. I trust

the credibility of the organizer, so I

At that time, I think the format of the contest was When I received the crown of Miss

good either. I might not have walked
very well but walking looking good,
not walking as a rocking horse. Ah ... I
believe all of these parts can be

thought and attitude. Mr. Nawat sees
the overall composition as a woman
who can serve the purpose of the
stage, which is to be a role model for
women. Being a modern woman can
be an inspiration to other women. So,
he chose me to receive the winning of

The inspiration at that time, I liked
'Noosi Sirirat Ruangsri', who was Miss
Thailand World. I will look at Noosi as a
model for a me with a good
appearance and she has a very good
attitude.

THE TURNING POINT

Nowadays, many people see you as a
smart and assertive person. Do you think
that is different from your childhood?

I'm not sure how everyone looks at me. For me,
the fundamental is my self-assertiveness from
childhood. I like to speak in front of the
flagpole, I like being a leader and have a
leadership position, but when I grew up with the
fact that I worked and studied at the same time.
I've been working to make money by myself
since high school, grade 12. I've always worked
when I came to Bangkok, I work to make money,
I don't have to ask my mom for money.

When I got 2 be number 1 contest, I collect
money from work here and when I was with Miss
Grand Thailand, I had the opportunity to work in
the entertainment industry and collect money
from this job. In my work, I have met a lot of
people, and the more it is an event in the
entertainment industry, there will be a wide
variety of people. For example, the theatre I met
from the senior person or the theatre organizer
until the electrician. I met people on many
levels, so I quickly learned and understood
humanity. Then, it made me realize that living
life is speaking less better than speaking a lot
and getting nothing. This is how I feel.

If asked what is the turning point in my life? I
think it's working. Being Miss Grand Thailand
was a very turning point in my life. That allows
me to work together and study as well. I learned
to manage my time and work. It allowed me to
gradually learn and grow faster than anyone else
of my age. Before I say anything, I'll think more,
and speaking less can make it smart because
now I have turned to focus more on learning, I
hope to be smarter than before (laughs)

Goal in the future

NOW, YOU ARE SUCCESSFUL IN THE CONTEST, AND DO
YOU HAVE OTHER GOALS IN THE FUTURE?

If you think that getting Miss Grand Thailand is a
success, I admit it is a success. In the past, I
thought I would try to work in the entertainment
industry to be the best. I want to know how far to
go or how successful will it be I gave myself 4
years and I found out. Well, it's not going to be my
way. So, I thought, oh, I was in my late 20’s,
almost in my 30’s. There should be something to
do already. It uses my individuality to make money
or to create something that I am proud of in my
life that comes from my brain and it is not about
appearance. It's time for a change since last year.
So, I'm going to continue my master's degree in
media communication, digital media.

My next goal in life is to graduate here and go
back to work in Thailand. Even though I study
communication, but it's not like the Faculty of
Communication Arts, it's communication in
political science, which I hope I want to work for
NGOs. Which is an organization with social
matters involved, or it can be a political
organization, but it has to be the communication
side or the image of the organization. I feel that I
am involved in this field of work. An organization
that I have in mind right now I want to work with
the UN, it could be a department of the UN, or it
could be an embassy. International first, so it's not
easy because it also requires work experience.
Hopefully, I can grow up in this field and do
whatever it takes to benefit society. I do not see
myself as an image of that organization or
anything. I want to be a worker, but I'm a part of
making it a movement, maybe a campaign or
whatever project. I would like to take part in
building good campaigns for society.

To younger generation

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT YOUNGER GENERATION WHO ARE
LOOKING FOR DREAMS LIKE YOU?

Um ... I'm not sure, I can be a role model for the The younger who did not want to be a beauty queen

people who look at me in education. One thing in

trying. Don't stop dreaming. Everyone has the right
to dream but the difference is whether you will
make your dreams come true.
