Life and career

Peranakan family born, as a child, Petcharat realized she was a transgender woman. In front of her parents, however, she had to hide her identity and was forced to live as a male. She felt disgusted by her genitals, so at the age of 17, she underwent gender affirming surgery. Since then, she has said that she feels as if she has been reborn.[2]

At age 19, Petcharat won the Miss Tiffany's 2004 and Miss International Queen 2004.[3]
