Treechada Petcharat (Thai: ตรีชฎา เพชรรัตน์; rtgs: Trichada Phetcharat), born Saknarin Marnyaporn (Thai: ศักดิ์นรินทร์ มาลยาภรณ์; rtgs: Saknarin Manyaphon; October 5, 1986), better known by the names Poyd (Thai: ปอย; rtgs: Poi), Nong Poy,[2] or Treechada Malayaporn, is a Thai actor and model. Assigned male at birth, Petcharat underwent sex reassignment surgery at age 19.

Life and career

As a child, Treechada knew she was a girl, but in front of her parents, she had to pretend and live as a male. She felt disgusted by her "male" genitals, so at the age of 17, she underwent sex reassignment surgery and since then, she has said that she feels as if she has been reborn.[2]

At age 19, Treechada won the Miss Tiffany's 2004 and Miss International Queen 2004.[3]
