As a child, Poy saw herself as a girl, but in front of her parents, she had to pretend and live as a male.
She felt disgusted by her male genitals, so at the age of 17, she underwent sex reassignment surgery and since then, she has said that she feels as if she has been reborn.
At age 19, Poy won the Miss Tiffany's 2004 and Miss International Queen 2004. Soon after, Poy appeared in the 2005 music video Mai Chai Poo Chai (I'm Not a Man) by Doo Ba Doo. Since then, Poy has been renowned throughout Thailand.
Soon after, Poy appeared in several Thai television series such as Rak Ther Took Wan (Love You Every Day) and Muay Inter (The Chinese Girl).
She is currently studying at Faculty of Law, Assumption University.
