Thailand’s Panchaya Channoi enjoyed a week to remember as the 18-year-old produced a sensational series of performances to capture the World Women’s Snooker Championship title for the first time.

Channoi defeated the most decorated women’s player in history, Reanne Evans, 6-2 in the final to complete a stunning run and announce herself as one of the brightest young stars in world snooker.

Her path to the title underlined the magnitude of her achievement. On route to lifting the trophy, Channoi overcame reigning world champion Bai Yulu as well as Thailand’s former world champion Mink Nutcharut, showcasing remarkable composure and maturity throughout the event.

What makes her triumph even more extraordinary is that it came just one day after she successfully defended her World Women’s Under-21 Championship crown in dramatic fashion. Channoi edged past Wang Ruotong in a deciding-frame thriller to retain the junior world title before returning to claim the sport’s biggest senior prize less than 24 hours later.

To produce such a level of consistency across back-to-back world finals is an incredible accomplishment for a player still only 18 years of age.

Channoi’s double success represents a landmark moment not only for her own career, but also for women’s snooker in Thailand, further highlighting the country’s growing strength on the world stage.

Her performances throughout the championships demonstrated exceptional talent, resilience, and championship temperament, qualities that suggest this could be just the beginning of a hugely successful career at the highest level.

By claiming both the Under-21 and senior world titles in the same week, Panchaya Channoi has firmly established herself as one of the game’s most exciting rising stars and a deserving new World Women’s Snooker Champion.
