After working on multiple successful television projects back-to-back,&nbsp;Thai actress Nychaa is ready to reveal a new side of herself in her first film role

With her fresh-faced beauty, it can be easy to forget that Thai actress Nychaa has dedicated a decade to working assiduously in the entertainment industry. After debuting with hit drama Tong Neu Gao, she continued playing the second lead and supporting roles &mdash; in television shows such as 2014&rsquo;s Cubic and 2015&rsquo;s Sapai Jao &mdash; until 2016, when the actress landed her first leading role in Nang Ai. Since then, Nychaa has become a fixture in Thai television, with key appearances in dominant dramas every year.

Hi Nychaa! Since last year, you&rsquo;ve been busy with multiple projects including the recent dramas Devil-in-Law, Retribution, My Friend, The Enemy, and Rivalry. What are some of the challenges that you overcame while preparing for these works? I have to say that each role has its own challenges. For each show, I have to learn how to play a different character. I have to learn how to walk, speak, and behave &mdash; everything about that character. I have to create some sort of background in order to develop a character. For example, in Rivalry, the character has so many angles to her personality. She was a complicated character with many issues in her life. And one other thing that was a big challenge for me is that I had to learn how to play polo. I had to do something that I&rsquo;ve never done in my life.

You&rsquo;ve been working in the Thai entertainment industry for a decade. What are some of the moments that you&rsquo;re proudest of so far? Actually, I&rsquo;m proud of everything I&rsquo;ve done so far. If I had to pick, I think being a part of Rivalry is one thing that I&rsquo;m so proud of because we won an award for the best TV series. When we worked on Rivalry, I saw everyone working so hard. The crew and actors tried to do everything they could to make everything happen in the series. I&rsquo;m so proud of us that we did it and won at the Kom Chad Luek Awards. What can we expect from Nychaa this year? I&rsquo;ve just finished working on my first film. I&rsquo;ve always worked in television, and this year, I have a movie. It&rsquo;s a romantic comedy and I really enjoyed myself while we were filming. I hope everyone will enjoy it too. Filming a TV series takes eight months whereas a movie takes three months. As an actress, I do my best for each role &mdash; filming a TV series is harder though as I have to [hold the role] mentally for eight months.

What type of roles would you like to try next? I have never tried an action movie and I would like to try that one day. I would have to train for the role, and so it will definitely be more challenging. I would also like to try acting in a horror movie. In Thailand, we are known for our horror movies. I really want to be part of that and maybe I can play a ghost sometime in the future. You wear fashion so well. How would you describe your style? Less is more. I prefer to wear something simple and functional with statement jewellery and accessories. My current favourites are bucket bags.

When you&rsquo;re not busy filming, what do you like to do? I would spend time with my family and friends. Watching movies, eating, sleeping and playing games. I like to play Hogwarts Legacy on PlayStation 5 because I am a fan of Harry Potter. If I have time, I like to travel to different parts of Thailand, especially to the south of Thailand to the beaches. Besides being a great actress, what would you most like viewers and your fans to remember you for? I would like everyone to remember me as an actress who makes people happy, but more importantly as a [good] human being. I would like to do more for the community and help in areas like mental health, harassment, diversity and the environment.
