Early life and education
Summarize
Perspective
Tachakorn was born in Bangkok, Thailand. She is an only child and raised in a small alley of a row of shophouses.[2]
Growing up, she attended Suankularb Wittayalai School, an all-boys school, as her father started to notice her feminine behavior. In the meantime, her teacher called her parents to school and informed them that their child was sexually deviant. So her parents approached her immediately and asked if it was true. When she stated that it was true, they showed no signs of surprise. After she stated it, they had an open conversation, and she felt as like a burden had been removed off her chest.[2]
However, her parents were concerned about their child's future. So they advised her to consult a psychiatrist. At that time, they believed that consulting a psychiatrist would resolve the issue. Then she just went once. When she came out, she told her parents: "This is not fixable. I am who I am. Seeing a psychiatrist won't change that." After that, they told her not to go again. She can do whatever she wants and live her life the way she wants.[2]
After she graduated from high school, she attended Chulalongkorn University and earned her Bachelor of Arts in Chinese. She also received her master's degree in Mass Communication from the same university.[5]
