## Career
**Toey Tiew Thai.** The three original hosts all publicly identified as part of Thailand's third-gender community, and the program's conversational style, built around the hosts' humor and improvisation, made it a fixture of Thai television[6](https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/hspbruacthjournal/article/download/252770/171251).
**Work behind the camera.** Alongside her on-screen work, Godji moved into production roles. A Thai-language profile of her career describes her adapting through each shift in the media landscape, from cable television and YouTube through the digital-TV era to streaming platforms, while continuing to take on producing duties for programs such as *Rot Rong Rien* (รถโรงเรียน) and *Chuan Len Challenge*[7](https://thestandard.co/gotji-tachakorn-entertainment-journey/).
**Acting.** Her screen credits span films and series. ThaiContentDB lists acting credits, including 15 dramas and 2 films[2](https://thaicontentdb.com/persons/cmes6gzor10g5wutso8or31do). Recent roles include Nida, a teacher, in the 2024 series *23.5 องศาที่โลกเอียง* (*23.5*), Rita in *The Ex-Morning* (2025), Nut in *Break Up Service* (2025), and Nuch in *Me and Thee* (2025)[4](https://www.seriebox.com/people/godji-tachakorn-boonlupyanun.html) • [2](https://thaicontentdb.com/persons/cmes6gzor10g5wutso8or31do). She is also credited as Fei in the 2026 series *Wu*[4](https://www.seriebox.com/people/godji-tachakorn-boonlupyanun.html). Earlier film appearances include *Manaman* (มานะแมน, 2024) and *Bua Phan Fan Yab* (บัวผันฟันยับ, 2022)[8](https://fmdb.mov/people/3479221).
## Education
Godji studied at Chulalongkorn University, completing a bachelor's degree in Chinese in the Faculty of Arts and later a master's degree in Communication Arts with a specialization in mass communication[2](https://thaicontentdb.com/persons/cmes6gzor10g5wutso8or31do). She completed the master's thesis while working as a full-time host; entertainment press covered her submission of the thesis in 2017[9](https://www.daradaily.com/news/73219/read).
## Public life and LGBTQ+ representation
Godji has spoken openly about being LGBTQ+ throughout her career. In a 2023 interview on the talk show *Toh Nuu Maem* with host Suriwipa, she described growing up as an only child in a shophouse alley in Bangkok, attending an all-boys school that her father chose in the hope of changing her behavior, and a family conversation in which her parents learned directly from her, rather than from neighbors, that she was LGBTQ+[1](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/ZjY0Zp2bndVw). Her parents took her to see a psychiatrist once; after she told them that her identity was not something to be corrected, they told her not to go again and let her live as she chose[1](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/ZjY0Zp2bndVw). She has said that she continued dressing in men's clothing through school and her first year of work, and began dressing as a woman only once she felt she could support herself and was giving her salary to her parents[1](https://entertainment.trueid.net/detail/ZjY0Zp2bndVw).
Commentary on Thai media has identified her, together with her *Toey Tiew Thai* co-hosts, as part of a visible generation of third-gender hosts on mainstream Thai television[6](https://so05.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/hspbruacthjournal/article/download/252770/171251), and one biographical profile credits her with expanding visibility and acceptance for LGBTQ+ individuals in Thailand's media landscape[10](https://notablepeopleproject.org/tachakorn_boonlupyanun).
