Treechada Petcharat

Treechada Petcharat (, ), originally Treechada Malayaporn (, ) and better known by the nicknames Poyd (, ) or Nong Poy (, ),

Life and career Born into a Thai Chinese family, in childhood, Petcharat realized she was a transgender woman. In front of her parents, however, she had to hide her identity and was forced to present as male. She did not want 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. She completed her studies in the Faculty of Law at Assumption University and is currently pursuing a degree in molecular genetics and genetic engineering at Mahidol University.

At age 19, Petcharat became Miss Tiffany's Universe and Miss International Queen of 2004, winning the latter's Best Swimwear award deservedly because her home province, Phang Nga, is known for its coastal landscapes.

She is an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community and openly shares her personal journey, including her surgery. In 2013, Petcharat actively participated in parliamentary discussions in Thailand, advocating for the legalization of same-sex marriage. Furthermore, she collaborated with fellow transgender celebrities in a Pantene advertisement, aiming to promote transgender visibility and raise awareness about the transgender community.

Petcharat now serves as the managing director of Biomtpharma, her own laboratory and supplement manufacturing company.
