My Take

Treechada Petcharat, better known as Poy, is a genuinely significant figure, and I think her impact goes well beyond modeling and acting. Becoming one of Thailand's most recognizable public figures while being openly transgender, and using that platform as an activist, carries real cultural weight in a region where visibility still matters enormously. I admire that she didn't just coast on the title of Thailand's most beautiful transgender woman; she leveraged her fame toward advocacy. Her university background at Assumption also signals someone substantive behind the glamour. To me she represents how celebrity, handled thoughtfully, can quietly shift social attitudes for the better.

Overview

Treechada Petcharat (Thai: ตรีชฎา เพชรรัตน์, RTGS: Trichada Phetcharat), originally Treechada Malayaporn (Thai: ตรีชฎา มาลยาภรณ์, RTGS: Trichada Malayaphon) and better known by the nicknames Poyd (Thai: ปอย, RTGS: Poi) or Nong Poy (Thai: น้องปอย, RTGS: Nong Poi), is a Thai actress and model who underwent gender affirming surgery at age 17. She is dubbed Thailand's "most beautiful transgender woman".
