PLAYING OVERSEAS
She has played for clubs in the Czech Republic, Japan, Turkiye, and Austria. "It's a great opportunity to meet more world-class players as both teammates and opponents. I'm determined to practise harder every day by seeing them every week. It has been a great experience and it can't be found from practising only in Thailand."

EARLY DAYS
She decided to leave formal education after completing the sixth grade at school to pursue table tennis. "When I began to achieve in competitions, I wanted to go out and compete even more. But then I couldn't come back to school in time. So my family consulted with my teachers that I wanted to turn to table tennis instead. I just didn't have much time to go to school, so I decided to study informally. No parents would dare to let their children do this. Since we had set our mind to it, we had to do it to the fullest." (khaosod, 29 Jul 2021; stadiumth, 17 Jun 2021)

FURTHER EDUCATION
She has studied for a master's degree in the Faculty of Political Science at Thonburi University in Bangkok, Thailand, as part of a sports scholarship. (gooduniversity, 29 Mar 2021)
