Siray Kong was born in Thailand, but raised in Minnesota by her mother. She is half-Thai and half-Cambodian. Although she was raised by her single mother, she used this to her advantage: thinking of the struggles her mom went through to give her what she has keeps her motivated and on the path she leads. Modeling may be her main gig for now but, she has been working on a few other things since we last saw her. She now has a t-shirt line out and she’s working on a swimwear line which is due out shortly. Siray also just signed with a record label and has been in the studio working on an album. In all her travels she hopes to be successful enough to be able to start a non-profit to help give back to Cambodia. She may be a small, but there are many good things wrapped up in this package for sure!
1.What’s your Ethnicity?
Thai and Cambodian.
2.What’s your zodiac sign?
Pisces.
3.Where are you from originally?
I was born in Thailand, but raised in beautiful Minnesota.
4.What did you like most about growing up in the Minnesota?
What I liked most about growing up in Minnesota is all the lakes and learning how to deal with climate change. Winter was the hardest, especially because me and my mother didn’t have a car, so we rode the bus everywhere, even when it was freezing cold. It humbled me a lot and taught me to never take anything for granted—not even the weather.
5.What kind of mischief did you get into growing up?
Well, this is a question I can go on forever. [laugh] I was a tomboy growing up. I played all the rough games with the boys on the block. I was also very curious about make-up. I always got into my mother’s things and destroyed her make-up by mixing it all together. Boy she was so upset. Then she bought my own cheap one for me to mess with.
6.What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
The craziest thing I have ever done in my life was on a dare. I ran around the lake naked. Well, at least half way around the lake.
7.What’s your favorite hobby and why?
I have many favorite hobbies. One is poetry. I love expressing myself in a way that is so creative through words. Also, I love to draw. I love zoning out and putting my feeling into images and in colors. It helps me relax and center me from the world.
8.What’s your guilty pleasure?
Fast food and beer.
9.Who do you admire?
My mother. She is my strength, my world and my fire that burns deep down in my soul!
10.What’s one of your personal goals?
To give my mother all that her heart desires until the end of her days.
11.What do guys compliment you on the most?
Honestly, the guys compliment me on everything, but the first thing would have to be my face.
12.What’s your favorite body part on yourself?
My favorite would be my lips.
13.What’s your least favorite body part on yourself?
My nose, because I feel like I have no bridge, and my stomach—I hate doing sit ups.
14.What do you look for in a guy?
He must be over 5’9”, have a nice smile, great personality, care about his appearance but be humble. Oh, dimples are nice too.
15.What’s the first thing you notice about a guy?
His eyes.
16.What’s your ideal first date?
A sunflower gift. A chill dining place that we can chat and not be overwhelmed by the noise. A place that’s kinda fancy, because I like dressing up, looking nice for him, instead of a bar or something; maybe save that for the second date. I don’t mind that.
17.What turns you on?
Soft touches and great kisses with fresh breath and he smells good too.
18.What turns you off?
Bad breath, sloppy kisser, rude, impatient, can’t make eye contact and cheap.
19.What’s your biggest pet peeve?
Someone that is just rude to people.
20.Who’s your celebrity pass?
Channing Tatum for sure!
