Chetthabutr, who made her international debut in 2018, already has a reputation for scoring hat-tricks with the 22-year-old’s feat against Indonesia the third of her career so far.

The Khon Kaen native struck her first treble in Thailand’s 5-1 win over Indonesia at the 2019 SEA Games before scoring her second in a 4-0 defeat of Malaysia in September’s AFC Women's Asian Cup India 2022 qualifying opener.

At 17, Chetthabutr showcased her predatory skills when she broke her international duck by scoring against Portugal in an international friendly. Then followed her first hat-trick against Indonesia, a performance which cemented her place in the national team.

“I’m really happy I scored three goals in this game and we collected our first three points,” said Chetthabutr. “It’s a special feeling because I scored my first hat-trick in the AFC Women’s Asian Cup.

“Our performance today just goes to show our commitment for improvement. We followed everything that the coach (Miyo Okamoto) taught us during training and we won. Tactically we were good against Indonesia.”

The job, however, isn’t done as Thailand lie third in Group B behind the Philippines on the head to head criteria, with only the top two teams assured of quarter-final spots.

They face leaders Australia on Thursday in what promises to be a major test for Chetthabutr and her teammates,

“There are only some minor details from this game that need improvement and I’m sure the coach will look into that for the next game against Australia.

“The game against the Australians will be a huge test for us. But I’m sure my teammates and I will give our best.”
