In the past, the name Dr. Manfa Orpapat Chantasakha, or the famous Hi-So figure, might have been mentioned simply as a woman who looks good, with a calm, poised, and elegant image. But today, social media talks about her from a different perspective—as a woman with genuine substance who doesn’t need to loudly explain herself.
What makes people stop scrolling is not just her appearance but the life path she has quietly chosen to develop herself. While many rush to compete, she opts to grow steadily and with clear self-identity.
Recently, Dr. Manfa was appointed as a Special Assistant Professor in the Public Administration Department at Bangkok Thonburi University. This new role has many saying that this is not just about image but true ability.
Dr. Manfa shared her thoughts on her new role: "I am not in a hurry to succeed, just committed to continuous self-improvement. With respect for my profession and academic role, I thank Bangkok Thonburi University for their trust and support in appointing me as Special Assistant Professor in Public Administration. I hope this opportunity will motivate me to use my knowledge, responsibility, and experience to create value for society and sustainably develop future generations," said Hi-So Manfa.
For Dr. Manfa, the academic position is not about elevating her image but a platform to use knowledge, responsibility, and experience to create value for society and inspire the younger generation. This may explain why her name does not gain fleeting fame but continues to be mentioned as a woman who proves that beauty and talent can truly go hand in hand.
