Chayanit Charnsangarvej, nicknamed Pat, is a Thai-Chinese actress and model who's been gaining popularity both for her inherent talent and intriguing look. She was born in Bangkok, Thailand. Pat was schooled in Bangkok at one of Thailand's oldest all-girls boarding schools Wattana Wittaya Academy. She graduated from the Faculty of Decorative Arts in Visual Communication from Silpakorn University. Born into a family that's more Chinese than Thai, she was obliged to learn Mandarin at an early age. "My family is Chinese. My grandparents who speak Mandarin can't even speak Thai fluently," Pat says, before explaining that, when she reached a certain age, she was sent to summer schools in Beijing and Taiwan.
