The name 'Khun Yay' translates to 'grandmother' in Thai, symbolizing respect. Despite her hard work in the fields, she never received formal education, as Thai families often didn't send daughters to school. Her industrious life began at sunrise, tending rice fields with her water buffalo, highlighting the challenges faced by women in rural communities.

"Khun Yay" Chand Khonnokyoong was born on January 20, 1909, in Nakorn Chaisi, a rural municipality of Thailand. She was the fifth of nine children in the family. Her father, Ploy, and mother, Pan, were rice farmers.
The word "Khun Yay" means "grandmother" in Thai. It is a respectful way to call a woman of advancing age. Khun Yay's given name was Chand, which means "moon". Her last name was Khonnokyoong, which means "peacock-feather".
The farmer's life had trained Chand to be industrious. She would get up before sunrise to tend to the rice field with her water buffalo and would return home at sunset. In those times, Thai families seldom send their daughters to school. Because of this, Chand never learned how to read or write.
