Chicha Amatayakul first debuted as a member of the Thai girl group Kiss Me Five in 2010 with four other members. Unfortunately, her time as an idol was fleeting.
She left the group a year later to zero in on her studies. Following her takeoff from the group, she likewise worked momentarily as a model. That, too, did not last long.
In 2013, she finally made her acting debut with three Thai TV series that were released consecutively: ATM 2 คู่เวอร์เออเร่อเออรัก, จุดนัดภพ ปี 2ตอน สาวปากแดงตอน รักจุกอก, and ชาติเจ้าพระยา.
She then ventured into the big screens by starring in the movies เน็ต ไอ ดาย #สวยตายล่ะมึง! And The Serpent’s Song in 2017.
By this time, she had set up a good foundation for herself as a major name in the Thai entertainment industry. So, her next move was to show up in international-scale shows.
Granted, in 2018, she was featured in the Netflix series titled Girl from Nowhere, and three years later, she joined the cast of the British series The Serpent.
