Career Thin Seng Hon was born on 25 April 1986. She was born with a right leg defect, with it ending below the knee, and deformities to some of her fingers. To attend school in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia, Hon needed to walk on crutches. She stood out in her village as she was the only person with a disability, and was bullied at school because she was different. She was bought her first prosthetic at the age of eight. Hon's trainer, Phay Sok was frustrated at the level of equipment available to other nations.

At the 2015 ASEAN Para Games in Singapore, Hon took part in both the T43/44 100 metres and the 200 metres. Although she took the lead initially in the 200 metres, she finished in fourth position. In the 100 metres, she took second place and the silver medal. She was running on blades designed for long-distance running rather than sprinting.

Personal life In 2011, Hon moved to Melbourne, Australia, where she has permanent residency. She works at an orchid nursery.
