Career

At the age of 13, Intira starred in her first Thai TV drama (lakorn) ''Lah'' (, ''hunt'') produced by X'ACT in 1994, the drama wing of GMM Grammy. In the lakorn, she portrayed a girl who, together with her mother (played by Sinjai Plengpanich), were gang raped. She became mentally ill while her mother proceeded to hunt down, torture and kill each and every member of the gang. Intira became a celebrity, known for taking this difficult role in her first acting work.

At age 13, Intira signed an album contract with GMM Grammy. She released her first album in March 1995, ''Nalika Sine'' (). It is a teenage pop album. ''Khun Khru Kradat Sine'' () is the most famous song of the album. The song talks about being grateful to her teacher and is still often used to honor teachers on Teachers' Day, for example.

She left GMM Grammy after her contract expired and altered her music style to rock. She released an indie album, ''Sine'', in 1998. The album was produced by Jirasak "Catarock" Parnpoom.
