About Mo Monchanok

Mo began her career after accompanying a friend to an audition. Ironically, her friend didn't get the job but a modeling agency took Mo's picture and she was called in shortly after for a TV commercial, which she received right away. Prior to this, Mo had no plans to become an actress. From there on, she went to star in two films.

Mo then made her transition to small screens with a cameo appearance in the lakorn, Pieng Jai Tee Pook Pun, in 2010. Two years later, she debuted as one of the lead actresses in Likit Fah Cha Ta Din alongside Son Yuke Songpaisan. A year later, they won the Most Popular Overseas Artist Award together at the Asian Idol Awards in China.

For a while, Mo was demoted to a supporting actress. However, with the success and her growing popularity in Fun Fueng 2014 and Tawun Thud Burapah 2015, she was able to regain her position as a leading actress. Cheewit Puer Kah Huajai Puer Tur 2016 was Mo's comeback lakorn as nang'ek after several years of playing supporting and nang'rai.

Mo eventually rose to limelight through Ruk Long Jai (Club Friday The Series 7) in early 2016. Her chemistry and performance with Toomtam Yuthana Puengklarng in this short series received much love and attention, with viewers requesting the producer to reunite the two in a sequel. Due to her popularity, Mo won the Best Bang Girl of the Year Award 2016 along with other trending actresses at the time.

A year later, Ruk Long Jai To Be Continued became a huge success, further catapulting Mo to stardom. She is best known for her role in this series.

After six years under her label, Exact, Mo decided to not renew her contract with them and became a free agent in May of 2018, allowing her to act for various channels. Following this decision, she was immediately cast in three projects that same year for GMM25 (Khon Tee Mai Yorm Rub), Ch.3 (Tee Krai Tee Man) and PPTV (In Time With You).

In January 2019, Mo officially signed a contract with Ch.3 as their actress.

Aside from acting, one of Mo's passions is cooking and she hopes to pursue her dream of becoming a chef. Mo has also taken an intern to become a scriptwriter.
