Originally named Poy Treechada, the 38-year-old model had gender-affirming surgery in 2003 and went on to win the 2004 Miss International Queen contest.

Beyond her modeling pursuits, she is also known as an actress and entrepreneur.

She was the first Thai transgender individual to be featured on TC Candler’s list of the 100 most beautiful faces in 2015.

Her spouse Hongyok, 42, is the successor of Baan Ar-Jor, a prominent restaurant, coffee, and tourism service enterprise in Phuket.

The duo celebrated their marriage in a contemporary ceremony on March 2, 2023, in Bangkok. Since then, Nong Poy has actively posted photos of her and her husband at various events and their travels together.
