Suthida was formerly a flight attendant for Thai Airways. She was appointed commander of Crown Prince Vajiralongkorn's household guard in August 2014. Several reports, following the Crown Prince's divorce of Srirasmi Suwadee, have linked her romantically to the crown prince. In October 2016, international media reports labeled her as the designated king's "consort", despite the palace never officially declaring their relationship. Her name is consistent with naming conventions for wives of Thai princes.

On 1 December 2016 she was appointed Commander of the Special Operations Unit of the King's Guard and promoted to the rank of general. She reached her present rank after only six years of service.

On 1 June 2017 she was appointed as acting commander of Royal Thai Aide-de-Camp Department following the reorganization of the Royal Security Command.

On 13 October 2017 she was named a Dame Grand Cross (First Class) of The Most Illustrious Order of Chula Chom Klao which bestows the title Than Phu Ying (ท่านผู้หญิง; ). She is the first female officer to receive this honour since 2004 and the first in the reign of King Rama X.
