The Little Nyonya may have awed us with its opulence and glamour, but the local drama has got nothing on this couple’s lavish Peranakan wedding. Thai actress Poyd Treechada Petcharat, known colloquially as the country’s ‘most beautiful transgender woman‘, tied the knot with her businessman beau Oak Phakwa Hongyok on Wednesday (March 1).
Poyd, 36, shared wedding photos on her Instagram with a simple caption of “official” and a red heart emoji.
The couple have known each other for two decades and Oak is the brother of Poyd’s best friend. The intimate wedding ceremony for family and close friends was held at Phuket’s Baan Ar-Jor, a historical museum, hotel and restaurant that once served as the Hongyok family’s resort house.
Poyd celebrated her and Oak’s Thai-Chinese roots with an intricately-embroidered traditional Peranakan wedding outfit, complete with a gold hua kuan (flower crown) handmade by artisans from Thailand’s Ranong province and antique jewellery.
