Nara’s popularity on the net grew, enabling her to give up the crepe stall while keeping the name it inspired. Her humorous banter with customers and funny clips posted online soon made her an internet celebrity.Īfter her Facebook account attracted a huge following, she was approached by companies to review their products. Nara said at age 17 she underwent breast augmentation.Īfter graduating, she jumped between jobs before setting up a small streetside stall in Ayutthaya selling crepes. She underwent cosmetic surgery in her teens – getting a nose job, eyelid creases and more. Nara attended Joseph Ayutthaya School before graduating from Ayutthaya Technological Commercial College with a diploma. She was mainly brought up by her mother after her parents divorced when she was a child. Given the name Aniwat “Earth” Prathumthin at birth, the 23-year-old has rechristened herself Nara. She agreed to pull the clip off social media, but on the condition that she and her team were paid for producing it. “Those who say you are banning the app, I know you are not really app users.” “But what I did does not cause trouble to anyone,” she complained. Nara however has shrugged off the controversy and denied any intention to insult or bully anybody. Meanwhile, a slew of Thai brands has cut ties with Lazada while the Army has boycotted the shopping platform. However, the young influencer responsible has shown little sign of remorse. Lazada, the Southeast Asian arm of China’s Alibaba Group Holdings, quickly removed the ad and issued a public apology. The TikTok clip and photos promoting Lazada’s 5.5 sales day were deemed by some people to be offensive to the Thai monarchy as well as disabled people. Known by the handle “Nara Crepe Katoey”, influencer Aniwat Prathumthin has remained defiant in the face of the storm of protest whipped up by her creation.
If there’s no such thing as bad publicity, then someone forgot to tell the transgender influencer who posted a controversial clip promoting e-commerce giant Lazada.
