Fon Sananttachat Won't Stop Self-Development: Building a Business, Studying Law, and Competing in International Poker
Actress Fon Sananttachat balances a thriving skincare business, law studies at Ramkhamhaeng University, and competing in international poker tournaments, while managing a Gen Z team and creating daily social media content.
Beyond her work in the entertainment industry, the talented actress Fon Sananttachat is currently pursuing multiple ventures as a skincare business owner, law student, and content creator, constantly adapting to social media trends. She's also revealed an unexpected side—competing in international poker competitions, recognized for her analytical thinking and psychological skills. She's truly a woman who never stops developing herself.
Recently while rehearsing for the GDH concert "Growing Together," she shared updates about her business, studies, and new life challenges. "I started my skincare business online last year and recently expanded into physical beauty stores. We now have 10 team members, and the business is doing really well. The flagship product is cleansing remover, and our office has grown significantly," she explained. As the oldest person in the office, she described her management style: "I have to do my makeup because my face doesn't look authoritative, so I use clothing as a weapon. Working with Gen Z requires me to be both serious and understanding, with earned respect."
Contrary to expectations of being stern, she noted: "I'm not fierce—I speak sweetly but everything must be on time and precise. We must accept the age gap exists, and I want to hear new ideas. One person isn't as good as a team."
Beyond business, she's also a third-year law student at Ramkhamhaeng University. "I started another degree program after a legal dispute made me realize how important it is to truly understand the law. Now friends send me contracts to review, and even though I haven't finished, I can advise them. In entertainment we work on emotion, but law requires seriousness."
She's also content creating. "The entertainment industry faces funding challenges, and my fans miss me. Now they can see me on social media every day, not just in films and dramas."
Regarding the competitive poker scene, she explained: "I got inspired by Top Taap, who saw potential in my analytical and calculation skills. Poker is a mind sport requiring both math and psychology to read opponents. He sent me a book, and I started competing internationally. Last year I was in the top five Thai women players, and this year I'm traveling to different places, possibly heading to America."
For those unfamiliar with poker, she clarified: "Thailand now has an official Poker Sports Association, though competitions haven't started yet. It's about education—it's a legal sport."
