Biography

The daughter of Thai immigrants, Kingpayome was born in Maryland and raised in Queens, New York City. She has three younger brothers.

A family friend, famous country singer Rungrudee Phaengphongsai, had long been touting Metinee's potential to be a beauty queen. So, at the age of 20 and "kind of bored", she quit her job as waitress in a Thai restaurant and decided to try out at modelling in Thailand for six months.[3]

She won the Miss Thailand World title before she represented Thailand at the Miss World 1992 pageant in Los Angeles. There, she was crowned Continental Queen of Asia & Oceania. Her family now has moved back to Thailand.[1]

She has since worked as a model, actress and TV presenter. She has been featured on the covers of Elle Thailand and Vogue Thailand.[4][5] The Bangkok Post described her as: "At the forefront of the women's liberation movement in the Thai fashion industry,"[3]

She was one of Channel V's first VJ presenters; and nominated Best Actress for Manya Ritsaya (1998). She subsequently won Supannahong Awards for her debut movie role in Box (1998).[3]

She is also a mentor for The Face Thailand (season 1-4),The Face Men Thailand (season 1-2).[6][7]

She married Edward Sharples and has a son, Skye Sharples.[1][8][9]
