BANGKOK – Actress, model and beauty queen Poyd Treechada, 36, married a businessman from an elite Phuket family on Wednesday.
The ceremony followed the traditional Peranakan style, which originated with the wave of Chinese immigrants to the region six centuries ago. Poyd – whose full name is Treechada Petcharat – married Mr Oak Bhavagha Hongyok at Phuket’s Baan Ar-Jor. The 84-year-old Sino-colonial estate is a museum, a restaurant and the Hongyok family’s mansion.
Mr Oak’s family traces its roots back to the beginning of Phuket’s tin industry. The family patriarch – Tan Jin Nguan – was a Chinese immigrant who launched tin mining in the province and was bestowed with the royal surname “Hong Yok” for developing the industry. After winning the Miss Tiffany and Miss International Queen beauty pageants in 2004, Poyd became a force in the entertainment industry in Thailand and the region. She has worked as a model, actress and performer in music videos.
