On International Women’s Day, which falls on March 8th, Thai PBS World has compiled a list of eight Thai women who are making an international impact.

 

1. Nualphan Lamsam

A fifth-generation scion of the Lamsam family, Nualphan, aka “Madame Pang”, is best known as the CEO of Muang Thai Insurance and the sole distributor of Hermes luxury goods in Thailand. Nualphan also plays a huge role in Thai sports, having previously led Thailand’s women’s national football team, before assuming the role as the president of the Football Association of Thailand, the very first female to do so in its 103-year history.

 

2. Ariya Jutanugarn

Of the many female golfers in Thailand, Ariya stands out with a long-list of outstanding achievements and for being first Thai golfer to win an LPGA championship. Her older sister, Moriya, is also a professional golfer. The Jutanugarn sisters were chosen by the Thailand Foundation as dual recipients of the Public Diplomacy Award 2023, for their continuous contributions in promoting Thailand through their achievements in the international ladies’ golf arena.
