Last week I spoke to a bartender and he told me about his year in Asia and how by accident he acted in a Thai movie with a famous Thai actress called ‘Kob’. Never heard of her before. So it made me do some research.
Kob, who’s real name is Suvanant Kongying, has many different looks with many different hairstyles; brown, black, short, long, perm, straight. I am not an expert on Thai women, but in my opinion she looks sometimes quite ‘western’. I like her ‘Thai’ look much better! (asiansweetheart, can you help me out on this one, being the expert on Thai women? ;-)) Check for yourself in some of the galleries I found.Suvanant Kongying Google image search

Suvanant was born in 1978, in Bangkok, Thailand. She moved to Bangkok with her family when she was three to four years old. Her father, Amnuay Kongying was a teacher, and her mother, Ubonrat Kongying, works at the ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives. Suvanant began acting from a very young age.
Suvanant graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the private Rangsit University, and is a professional ice-skating champion. She was paid an undisclosed sum of money – believed to be millions of baht – to act as the presenter of Mistine.
In 2003 a Cambodian tabloid wrongly reported that Suvanant Kongying made a speech claiming that Angkor Wat belonged to Thailand. This prompted the 2003 Phnom Penh riots, in which the Thai embassy in Cambodia was destroyed.
