Meet Thailand’s most beautiful street sweeper
PATTARAMON THOCHAROEN – A 27-year-old street sweeper from Thailand known as “Bow” is earning P80K a month through Tiktok.

Bow shared her belief that striving for personal happiness and self-expression is essential.
While she takes pride in her street sweeper role that supports her retired parents, she also enjoys financial stability from her TikTok endeavors. Besides her monthly earnings of 12,000 baht (PHP 19,421.25) as a Bangkok Metropolitan Authority employee, her social media activities bring in additional income. Bow earns up to 50,000 baht (PHP 80,921.87) per month through brand reviews, product sales, and virtual TikTok Gifts from her followers, which she converts into cash. This financial stability allows her to indulge in small luxuries and spend quality time with her family.
Despite her TikTok fame, Bow remains grounded and recognizes the transient nature of online recognition. She is focused on saving a substantial portion of her earnings for her children’s future. She also appreciates the opportunity to share her insights and perspectives on life with others.
