Career

Baipat, from Chonburi, started playing snooker aged nine, coached by her stepfather Pisit Chandsri, a two-time world over-40s champion.[3] [4] In 2014, she won the International Billiards and Snooker Federation six-red snooker championship with a 4–2 victory over Anastasia Nechaeva in the final, having earlier eliminated former IBSF world champion Ng On-yee.[4]

Aged 15, she defeated Mink Nutcharut 4–2 in the final of the 2015 International Billiards and Snooker Federation (IBSF) World Under-21 Championship.[4] Baipat whitewashed Vidya Pillai 4–0 in the final to win the 2016 IBSF 6-reds snooker title.[5]

In 2022, she won the Thailand national 9-ball pool title by defeating Sukritthanes 11–8 in the final, having earlier won Thailand's national snooker title.[6]

Baipat reached the final of the 2023 World Women's Snooker Championship, after beating the defending champion Mink 5–2 in the semi-finals.[7] Despite losing the first two frames of the final, she defeated Bai Yulu 6–3 to win her first women's world title.[8] She was unable to defend her title at the 2024 event, losing 0–4 to Reanne Evans in the last 16.[9]
