In 2011 she also appeared on its sequel "Suepsuan Puan Kamlang 3 [th]" (สืบสวนป่วนกำลัง 3 [th]) where she reprised her role as Tit.

She made her film debut in 2012 in the film called "Rak Sudthai Pa Na [th]" as a character named Sa, and later appeared in another movie in 2014 titled "Hmuy Cin Din Kong Lok [th]" as Hmuy.

2016–2018: Rising popularity

On January 6, 2016, she appeared on a drama called "Sao Noi Roy Larn [th]" (สาวน้อยร้อยล้าน [th]) playing another supporting character called Mali. Then, she finally had her first major drama role in "Bad Romance" where she played the sassy main character Yihwa alongside Tomo Visava Thaiyanont who played Yihwa's love interest, Cho.

In 2017, Maengmum also appeared in the prequel for "Bad Romance" titled "Together With Me" as Yihwa again, acting alongside co-stars Max Nattapol Diloknawarit and Tul Pakorn Thanasrivanitchai [th] who played Korn and Knock, Yihwa's two best friends. This series was very popular too, which gave Maengmum and the other actors in the series a lot of recognition, allowing for them to give multiple interviews and attending fan meetings such as "Together With Me in Chengdu", "Altogether in Manila" and "Together With Me Warm Up Party in Krabi".

In early 2018, "Together With Me The Next Chapter" was announced, the sequel to "Together With Me", where Maengmum would once again reprise her iconic role as Yihwa alongside her old cast.
