Meet the “Wolf Girl” of Bangkok — who went from outcast to most popular kid in her class after becoming an international celebrity.
Supatra Sasuphan, 11, suffers from a disease that only 50 people have had since it was identified in the Middle Ages.
It’s called Ambras Syndrome, a condition that makes hair grow thickly all over the body, including the face.
Kids used to taunt Supatra with names like “monkey face.”
But her life turned around when the “Guinness Book of World Records” recently named her the “hairiest girl in the world.”
“I am very happy to be in the Guinness World Records,” she told Britain’s Daily Mail.
“A lot of people have to do a lot to get in. All I had to do was answer a few questions.”
She hopes a cure will someday be found for the disease, whose victims were branded “werewolves” before scientists discovered it’s caused by a faulty chromosome. So far, even laser treatments have proven ineffective.
Still, Supatra expects to lead a normal life, either as a math teacher or a doctor.
“I want to help people who get hurt and help cure people,” she told the paper.
