Cindy Sirinya

Cindy Sirinya is a Thai actress and TV host with a career that spans over 28 years in the entertainment industry. Born in Bangkok and raised in Pattaya, she first gained recognition as a model, winning the Miss Thailand World title in 1996. Her mixed-race (primarily Caucasian) heritage and striking features, including black hair and blue eyes, made her a standout from the start. Standing at 5'10", she brings a commanding presence to both the runway and the screen.

Throughout her career, Cindy has worked extensively across Asia, but she is perhaps best known for hosting Asia's Next Top Model. Her television work also includes appearances in Thai drama series and international films, showcasing her range as an actress. While she has achieved significant professional success, Cindy has also made her mark as a passionate advocate for gender equality. She founded the #DontTellMeHowToDress campaign, which has gained global attention, and in 2020 she was recognized by the BBC as one of their 100 Women.

Outside of her public roles, Cindy is a mother of two children, Leila and Aiden. She lives in Bangkok with her husband Byron Bishop, who is also an actor. Her life reflects a balance between her advocacy work, her career, and her family, and she continues to be an influential public figure in Thailand and beyond.
