Career
2008–2014: Early career
Maengmum entered the entertainment industry by becoming a TV show host for "Strawberry Cheesecake" in 2008. She quit being a TV show host in 2010, and started appearing more on TV series and movies. One of her first dramas was "Seub Suan Puan Ruk" (สืบสวนป่วนรัก), where she played the supporting character Tit on August 16, 2010. In 2011 she also appeared on its sequel "Suepsuan Puan Kamlang 3" (สืบสวนป่วนกำลัง 3) where she reprised her role as Tit. After those series, she continued to appear on smaller, less known dramas; "Khwam Hwang Sudthai" as Smorn in 2012, "Luk Mai Lai Lai Khon" as Thiporn (Nuwi) in 2012–2013 and "Hlung Tham Ha Chon" as Po in 2013–2014.
She made her film debut in 2012 in the film called "Rak Sudthai Pa Na" as a character named Sa, and later appeared in another movie in 2014 titled "Hmuy Cin Din Kong Lok" as Hmuy.
2016–2018: Rising popularity
On January 6, 2016, she appeared on a drama called "Sao Noi Roy Larn" (สาวน้อยร้อยล้าน) playing another supporting character called Mali. Then, she finally had her first major drama role in "Bad Romance" where she played the sassy main character Yihwa alongside Tomo Visava Thaiyanont who played Yihwa's love interest, Cho. The series aired from July 18, 2016 to September 5, and it was a great success and garnered positive citations not just in Thailand, but also in specific communities in the Philippines, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, and Singapore.
In 2017, Maengmum also appeared in the prequel for "Bad Romance" titled "Together With Me" as Yihwa again, acting alongside co-stars Max Nattapol Diloknawarit and Tul Pakorn Thanasrivanitchai who played Korn and Knock, Yihwa's two best friends. This series was very popular too, which gave Maengmum and the other actors in the series a lot of recognition, allowing for them to give multiple interviews and attending fan meetings such as "Together With Me in Chengdu", "Altogether in Manila" and "Together With Me Warm Up Party in Krabi".
In early 2018, "Together With Me The Next Chapter" was announced, the sequel to "Together With Me", where Maengmum would once again reprise her iconic role as Yihwa alongside her old cast. It has been announced that the series would first air September 28, 2018. On September 28, 2018 Maengmum along with the cast of "Together With Me The Next Chapter" held a fan meet event in Krabi, Thailand where they also premiered the 1st episode of the series.
Singing career
October 3rd, 2018 Maengmum released her first official song titled "ยังไงก็เสียใจ (SORRY)" as the OST for Together With Me The Next Chapter. She sang it live for the first time in Thai TV show "Masterkey" on October 5, 2018.[4] The song is available in Youtube, Spotify and other music apps.
