Thai actress Baifern visited Singapore recently for the opening of THE ONITSUKA&rsquo;s first flagship store in South-East Asia, at ION Orchard. Styled in the brand&rsquo;s most iconic dress shoes, she tells us what we can expect from her next

Baifern is a bonafide megastar in her native country of Thailand &mdash; and with the surging popularity of Thai dramas in the region, Singaporeans have gotten to know her and come to love the actress for her roles in 2022 dramas, A Tale of Ylang Ylang and Sinaeha Saree. Last month, Baifern visited our sunny shores for the opening of THE ONITSUKA&rsquo;s first flagship boutique in South-East Asia, at ION Orchard. The actress found time for an exclusive digital cover shoot and interview with L&rsquo;OFFICIEL SINGAPORE.

Welcome to Singapore, Baifern! You&rsquo;re here for the opening of THE ONITSUKA&rsquo;s store in Singapore. What do you like most about THE ONITSUKA?
It fits my personal style really well &mdash; it&rsquo;s easy to wear and I really enjoy wearing the brand&rsquo;s dressy pieces.

You&rsquo;ve been friends with ONITSUKA TIGER for a while now, and you watched the Spring/Summer 2023 show from the front row in Milan. How was that experience?
It was my first time attending Milan Fashion Week, and I was so excited and proud to be a part the team attending ONITSUKA TIGER&rsquo;s show.


You&rsquo;ve been acting for almost 15 years, and we&rsquo;ve gotten to watch your dramas like A Tale of Ylang Ylang and Sinaeha Saree in Singapore. What kind of roles would you like to do more of in the future?
I&rsquo;m interested in many types of roles. Something I&rsquo;ve never tried is to portray a person facing challenges or physical difficulties &mdash; for example, a character with a disability. I think it will be challenging but so fulfilling to be able to take on such a different role.

If you could have more of any one thing this year, what would that be?
It&rsquo;s hard to choose one thing &mdash; I&rsquo;m currently building a house, and I&rsquo;m also hoping to travel more and work more this year.


What can we expect from Baifern next?
I have a series that will tentatively be released this year, and a Thai drama that should be out next year. They were exciting and challenging for me to do &mdash; so please stay tuned.
