Even as Thai star Junei is working on a new drama and readying herself for the release of her film, Delivery Man, she is firmly putting her wellbeing and self-exploration first

&ldquo;This is Junei,&rdquo; declares our stylist, as the Thai actress lets her personality shine through on the set of our cover shoot &mdash; she winks, playfully poses with her thumbs up, and smiles cheerfully as the photographer snaps away, capturing her warm and whimsical style. With nine years in the entertainment industry, the 25-year-old has almost done it all &mdash; the star has modelled, been part of a girl idol group, and worked on television dramas and films. These days, busy as she may be filming a new drama and gearing up for the release of her movie, Delivery Man, Junei is placing focus on her happiness and self-discovery. She tells me at the end of our shoot, &ldquo;Lately, I&rsquo;ve been spending quite a bit of time working on myself and my personal life, and I am coming back into my own space. I&rsquo;m someone always looking for something new, something fun, something to explore &mdash; showing myself in different angles, and trying to get everything aligned.&rdquo;

Tell us about your role in the upcoming film, Delivery Man. 
We actually shot it some time ago. If I&rsquo;m not mistaken, we shot it from the beginning of 2025, so it has been about a year. It&rsquo;s a thriller, and it tells a story about a delivery man, played by Aelm. I am one of the customers who orders some food from him. It&rsquo;s my first time in a thriller movie, and my first time working with the amazing actors in the film. I am excited and looking forward to the movie coming out. We did a lot of intense scenes &mdash; intense in terms of emotions and characters. I really hope it will bring some joy to and have meaning for the audience.
You&rsquo;re currently working on a drama series. What can you tell us about it? 
Yes, I&rsquo;m working on it right now. It&rsquo;s a big project, with so many actors and actresses that I personally adore. It will probably come out in the middle of next year, so it will take a bit of time.

You recently attended London Fashion Week. How was the experience? 
It was such a dream come true. It was my very first time attending a fashion show abroad, so there was some nervousness, and a lot of excitement. Everything went pretty fast &mdash; arriving and getting excited to meet new people, so many cool people that I follow on Instagram. It was pretty overwhelming. And all of a sudden, you&rsquo;re witnessing a lot of looks and fashion pieces coming to life. I&rsquo;m lucky that it was a great collection and show. It was a great experience and I hope I&rsquo;ll be able to attend more shows in the future.
What are some of your current style must-haves? 
In terms of fashion, lately, I&rsquo;ve been into leather pieces, even in summer. In Thailand, we&rsquo;re always experiencing summer. Deep down, there is that part of me craving to wear leather pieces. I got to wear them when I went abroad to cold countries. Recently, I&rsquo;ve been into leather goods, shoes like loafers, and jackets.

"I&rsquo;VE BEEN THROUGH QUITE SOME THING, and THE BIGGEST LESSON is to&nbsp; LOVE YOURSELF FIRST, before GIVING IT TO EVERYONE ELSE."

You've been trying many Spring/Summer 2026 looks for your posts on Instagram. Has experimenting with a range of looks helped you develop your own style? 
Of course. Working with different looks and brands is something I&rsquo;m really grateful for. Since I was a kid, fashion has been a passion. A way to explore the world and myself. As they say, when you go outside, you grow inside. Working with different styles, there is a different character for each. I&rsquo;m just a 25-year-old girl discovering herself and trying new pieces. Sometimes, you change each day. There's beauty in that. When you feel less confident or less yourself, and suddenly you try an outfit&hellip; Like today, I tried some looks, and there were moments when I thought &ldquo;oh, this is fun&rdquo; or &ldquo;oh, this is so comfy&rdquo;. You get to embrace that child inside and I love that feeling of exploring.
You&rsquo;ve been in the industry for nine years now. What has been the biggest takeaway? 
It&rsquo;s been quite a journey. Through ups and downs, through trial and error, I&rsquo;ve learnt a lot. I&rsquo;ve met so many people, and each time I meet someone new, it lets me reflect and allows me to know myself better. It lets me come back to myself and my family, to really know who I am deep down. When you are in this industry, there are so many expectations and there is so much pressure. To be able to grow and to learn is part of life. I have that sense that there are so many more things for me to unleash, explore and learn about in the future.

You&rsquo;re just 25, but have done modelling, music and acting in different phases of your career. What have you learnt from each? 
I&rsquo;ve been through quite some things, and the biggest lesson is to love yourself first, before giving it to everyone else. There were times when there was an overload, and things felt overwhelming. Spreading energy can be hard when you don&rsquo;t have enough energy for yourself. I have learnt to spend energy wisely, and to create good energy by myself. And to put expectations on myself and not others, which makes me more calm. At the end of the day, we know that we have no control over a lot of things. You can&rsquo;t be in control all the time. There is beauty around, and there are people around me who inspire me, encourage me and believe in me. I&rsquo;m grateful for the people who have been with me and keep me going.
Moving forward, what would you like to accomplish? 
Right now, what I&rsquo;ve been focusing on is my health, both mental and physical. In recent years, I&rsquo;ve been seriously exercising, exploring different workouts and activities that suit my lifestyle, such as pilates, Thai boxing and weight training. I go climbing sometimes, I go to dance lessons sometimes. It&rsquo;s all about connecting myself with activities I do, spending time wisely. What I look forward to is being the best version of myself. Sometimes, you have to leave your comfort zone in order to become the version of yourself that shines. I&rsquo;m trying to overcome my fears and push myself beyond my limits.
