But now Sasuphan, who has thick hair growing all over her face, ears, arms, legs, is delighted after her new found fame has helped her become one of the most popular girls in school.



"A lot of people have to do a lot to get in," the Sun quoted her as saying.

Sasuphan said: "There were a few people who used to tease me and call me monkey face but they don't do it any more. I''m very used to this condition. I can't feel the hair as it has always been like this. I don't feel anything. It does sometimes make it difficult to see when it gets long. I hope I will be cured one day," Sasuphan added.
