Watchara Sukchu, or "Jennie Panhan," is a Thai actress, comedian and emcee raised in Songkhla, Thailand. Jennie got her nickname from the 1996 Thai film 'Jenny' and later "Panhan" while working for Channel V Thailand, which she said sounded like a beautiful southern girl. Jennie received her primary education from Saeng Thong Witthaya School and secondary education from Hat Yai College. While she originally wanted to take up communication arts, she went on to graduate with a bachelor's degree in French from the Faculty of Archeology at Silpakorn University. Starting in the entertainment industry with Trasher Bangkok as part of their parody videos, it was her parody of Katy Perry's The One That Got Away music video that caught Perry's attention. As her parody videos went viral, this opened several opportunities for her among which was being an assistant producer for Channel V Thailand and later on, as part of GMMTV (then Bang Channel). In 2016, she became one of the main hosts of GMMTV's "Toey Tiew Thai" (เทยเที่ยวไทย) alongside "Golf" Kittipat Chalaruk, "Godji" Tatchakorn Boonlapayanan, and "Pompam" Niti Chaichitathorn (who later changed from a main host to an occasional special host).
