The beauty of Nong Poy has sparked envy among many women. Since winning the title of Miss International Queen in 2004, Nong Poy has become a household name. She has not only appeared at numerous events in Thailand but also graced various international fashion weeks.
After nearly 20 years since her international beauty pageant victory, Nong Poy’s life continues to captivate many. Recently, she shared moments with her fiancé, entrepreneur Oak Phakwa Hongyok, as they prepare for their wedding scheduled for March 1st. This exciting news has created a stir in the Thai entertainment industry.

Defying All Odds to Live Authentically
Born in 1986, Nong Poy (real name: Treechada Petcharat) grew up feeling like a girl trapped in a boy’s body, desiring to transform into her true self. From a young age, she embraced femininity, wearing dresses and make-up.
However, “the road to authenticity wasn’t without its challenges,” as Nong Poy faced family resistance when she began her transition. Initially, she was discouraged from wearing feminine clothing or makeup, instead being told to play sports and behave like a boy. Nevertheless, she followed her heart and filled her room with Barbie dolls to express her identity.

At the age of 17, Nong Poy made the significant decision to live authentically, despite societal pressures and family expectations. She was aware that if she underwent gender reassignment surgery, her life expectancy might be limited to just over 40 years. However, she chose to embrace her identity as a woman, believing that transitioning would allow her to lead a fulfilling life.

After her life-changing surgery, Nong Poy emerged as a stunning woman with striking features, captivating audiences everywhere. Since then, she has become a symbol of inspiration for the LGBT community.
Nong Poy has won numerous titles in beauty pageants, including Miss Tiffany Universe and Miss International Queen. Beyond her pageant success, she has also ventured into acting, appearing in several films such as Thailand’s Love, Kill Bill, and The White Storm.
Today, as she approaches 40, Nong Poy remains radiant, beautiful, and even more glamorous. Sharing her secrets, she reveals that she does not use stimulants or illegal substances, and rarely takes hormone injections. Instead, she maintains her figure through regular fitness training, playing tennis, and riding bikes.

A Beautiful Union with a Childhood Friend
In terms of romance, Nong Poy previously had a long-term relationship with her boyfriend Warwick Pong, lasting five years. Warwick was someone who made her feel loved and protected. However, he was also the one who caused her the greatest heartache.
The relationship between the two had its challenges, especially as Nong Poy’s fame grew. Their busy schedules made it difficult for them to spend time together, leading to emotional distance. Ultimately, after five years together, they decided to part ways.
Both Nong Poy and Warwick decided to part ways as their life paths were no longer aligned. However, Nong Poy cherishes the time she spent with Warwick, who supported her journey.
After their breakup, rumors circulated online that Nong Poy ended her five-year relationship due to her feelings for actor Gao Liang. At that time, she was filming “The White Storm” alongside Gao Liang. According to Thai media, Nong Poy and Gao Liang developed feelings for each other. Although Nong Poy confirmed her breakup with Warwick, she acknowledged her connection with Gao Liang, stating that he was like a brother to her and had never made any romantic advances.
Following the end of her five-year relationship, Nong Poy has not publicly confirmed a new romantic partner. Instead, she has focused on her career and personal life. She recently made headlines by officially announcing her engagement to entrepreneur Oak Phakwa Hongyok in June 2022. Interestingly, Nong Poy and Oak have known each other for over 20 years, as Oak is the younger brother of Nong Poy’s childhood friend. They attended school together and have known each other for a long time.

Oak was the one who pursued Nong Poy first, demonstrating his sincere feelings and dedication. This has contributed to their strong bond and mutual understanding.

Recently, Nong Poy and her fiancé have officially declared their engagement. Her joyous announcement has received heartfelt congratulations from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry. It is known that the wedding ceremony will take place on March 1st. Oak supports Nong Poy’s career development, allowing her to continue her projects and acting ventures.
