A dark birthmark on her face is not a life burden. Nong Tay (Luksanaphon Chanthawong), a skilled nursing assistant, opens up about overcoming childhood bullying and transforming from crying daily and fearing to leave home into someone who enjoys life with renewed perspective.

Doctors diagnosed her condition as Becker's Nevus.

"I've had this birthmark since birth. When I consulted a dermatologist, they diagnosed it as Becker's Nevus, but different doctors give different explanations—some call it a mole, others a nevus. The mark is only on my face, it doesn't spread or expand, and there are no abnormal symptoms. However, if it ever spreads, expands, becomes painful or itchy, or develops abnormalities, I'll need further treatment as it could potentially turn into skin cancer. The eye on the side with the birthmark still functions normally, but vision isn't as sharp as the other side—it's slightly blurry, like being nearsighted. But I see normal colors. Some people ask if I see black, but I don't see black; the mark isn't deep. Different doctors gave conflicting treatment advice. Some say laser won't work and I'd need skin grafting surgery, while others say laser is possible but would require many sessions over a long period because the mark is quite large and dark. As for treatment, I have no plans right now because it doesn't affect my daily life, and I'm unsure if laser would improve or worsen my condition."

Childhood bullying left deep scars.

"I faced severe bullying—being called names, teased, and mocked for having a dark face. As a child, I had no coping skills. Due to my immaturity, I'd come home crying constantly, feeling resentful about being different from others.

I didn't dare socialize or approach new friends, fearing rejection or ridicule. Fortunately, my friends were kind and understanding. My grandparents always comforted and encouraged me, teaching me to be strong and stand up for myself. I'm grateful to my family for their unwavering support."

She once resented her differences.

"I felt deeply resentful, wondering why I was born this way and why I wasn't like others. Without the birthmark, I could have joined school activities, danced, been a cheerleader, and participated in beautiful events while dressed up like everyone else. I was hard on myself, but as time passed, I stopped dwelling on it. These days, negative comments are gone, and if they come, I just stand up for myself."

She found happiness by shifting her mindset.

"I'm happy doing my makeup and dressing beautifully. When I go out, I wear makeup on one side. I'm confident and don't feel inferior because I live a normal life like everyone else. When I post videos, people praise me and encourage me, becoming a positive force for those afraid to go out and lacking confidence.

Many people message me saying: 'Nong Tay, you're amazing. I'm worse off than you, but I don't have the courage to go out. I lack confidence.' Their messages boost my confidence. I want everyone to be confident in themselves. We're not different from others. I want everyone to dare to live and be happy. Those people are just passing through our lives for a moment.

We can't control others' words or looks. Don't diminish your own value because of what others say."

Influencer Sprite Bababi has opened up about her dramatic weight loss and improved appearance, revealing she achieved her transformation through dedicated exercise alone—not liposuction, gastric surgery, or weight-loss injections. Speaking at a Sanrio Characters Half Marathon press conference at Tower 4, Floor 6 in Bangkok, she emphasized her commitment to fitness without relying on medical procedures.

"I haven't gotten any injections, haven't had gastric surgery, and haven't done liposuction," Sprite explained. "It's 100% exercise, done seriously. As an influencer, I get contacted by various hospitals offering these procedures, but anything with side effects on the body—I don't really want to do it. So I thought, let me try exercise first, seriously, and see if I lose weight. Turns out I did!"

When asked if she's against weight-loss injections, Sprite clarified: "I'm not against them. These procedures have existed in medicine for a long time, but it's about necessity. Some people genuinely need them due to excess weight, high BMI, or medical conditions where doctors recommend them. But if you don't have excess weight or aren't clinically obese by medical standards, starting with exercise is better—no investment needed and fewer side effects to manage."

Regarding her facial features, Sprite revealed plans for her first nose augmentation. "I'm planning to get a nose job for the first time. My parents gave me quite a bit naturally—it's a horizontal augmentation. But this will be my first vertical augmentation," she said with a laugh. "I also had my chin done some time ago, and my teeth are veneered."

Concerning whether the changes might alter her public image, Sprite remained confident: "Being slim now doesn't change my character. I'm still Sprite, the same person. Character comes from within—it doesn't matter if my face or body changes. I'm still the same."

On whether beauty could make her seem too perfect, she joked: "Beauty has to stick with you because I am genuinely beautiful now. People just didn't notice before. But I'm already a funny person, so being both funny and beautiful is better. And being healthy is most important."

When asked if more men have approached her since becoming more attractive, Sprite laughed: "Yes, definitely more—and with better options too. When people see you taking care of yourself, those who do the same are naturally drawn to you. Men who exercise will ask me where I usually run, and we have more to talk about."
