Meet Treechada “Poyd” Petcharat, a beauty queen and actress who is best known for being crowned the winner of two transgender beauty pageants in 2004: Miss Tiffany’s and Miss International Queen. She transitioned from male to female 20 years ago when she was 17 years old. She realized at a young age that she did not identify with the male gender, but had to hide this from her parents.
Following her beauty pageant stints, she moved on to modelling and acting. She starred in the Chinese 2014 crime action film The White Storm as well as the 2016 romantic comedy Insomnia Lover.
She and her husband, Oak Hongyok, announced their engagement in February 2022. Hongyok is a descendant of Tan Jin Nguan, a Chinese immigrant who was pivotal in beginning Phuket’s tin mining industry.
