Career

Sammy began her career as a model in an ice cream commercial and later participated in the 2007 Thailand Supermodel Contest. She won the title at only 16 years old. Sammy was subsequently signed with Channel 7 Thailand. Her first drama was the sitcom "KuKik Prik Gub Gleur" and her first feature-length drama was "Suparb Burut Satan". As a rising star of that era, “Sammy” wasn’t posed to be a “heroine” or a “villain”, so her work was quite varied. Good and bad roles were intertwined, including Pob Pee Fah, Nang Greed, Tawan Yor Saeng, Sawan Saang, Bundai Dok Ruk and Lui. But the work that made her performance stand out was “Nang Baeb Koke Gradone” which made the highest ratings for 5 weeks in a row. In addition to acting as a villain, she switched between evening drama and post-news drama.

After 2014 with her proven acting potential over the years, Sammy stepped up to be the front lead actress of Channel 7 and was placed in big drama projects, making her a “drama goddess”. Her works at this time are countless. From Lueam Salab Lai, Fai Ruk Game Rohn, Ratchawanee Tee Ruk, Wilok Lhong Lom, Sanaeha Maya, Lhong Ngao Jun, Suparburoot Chao Din, Talay Luang and Plerng Prissana. Throughout her time as a Channel 7 exclusive actress, she had almost all the leading actors and acted in all drama genres. At the end of 2020, when her contract with Channel 7 ended, Sammy chose the path of becoming an independent actress and not affiliated to any channel.
