In 2014, she won the IBSF women's six-red championship, defeating Anastasia Nechaeva 4–2 in the final after having eliminated former IBSF world champion Ng On-yee. She also partnered Armornrat Uamduang to win the IBSF women's team championship that year. The following year, she won the IBSF World Under-21 Championship by defeating Mink Nutcharut 5–2. She defeated Vidya Pillai 4–0 to win another IBSF women's six-red world title in 2016, and also won the IBSF World Under-18 Championship, beating Nutcharut 3–1 in the final.
Siripaporn made her World Women's Snooker tour debut in 2017. She reached the quarter-finals of the 2017 World Women's Snooker Championship and was runner-up to Amee Kamani at the 2018 ACBS Asian Snooker Championship.
World Cup and Asian champion In June 2019, Siripaporn and Waratthanun Sukritthanes formed the Thailand A team at the inaugural Women's Snooker World Cup in Bangkok. They defeated Thailand B 4–0 in the semi-finals before beating a Hong Kong team of Ng On-yee and Ho Yee Ki 4–0 in the final. Siripaporn potted the final of the last of the match. It was the first major World Women's Snooker title for either player. She defeated Rebecca Kenna 4–3 on the final black of their quarter-final at the 2019 World Women's Snooker Championship to reach the world semi-finals for the first time, where she lost 3–5 to Reanne Evans.
She became the first woman to reach the final of an open-category Thai national snooker event when she advanced to the final of the Thailand Under-21 Championship in August 2020, losing 3–4 to Jongrak Boonraud. A few weeks later, she defeated Sukritthanes 4–1 to win the Thailand Women's Championship.

World champion At the 2023 World Women's Snooker Championship she topped a qualifying group that included five-time world finalist Maria Catalano and, in the knockout stages, defeated Bayarsaikhan Narantuya and Jamie Hunter before beating defending champion Nutcharut 5–2 in the semi-finals. She faced Bai Yulu in the final. Bai won the first two frames and led 3–2 at the interval, but Siripaporn won four consecutive frames after the interval to take the match 6–3. She became the second Thai player to win the women's world championship, following Nutcharut in 2022. The championship also gave her a two-year card to compete on the professional World Snooker Tour from the beginning of the 2023–24 season.
Professional career
Siripaporn's first professional season began in 2023. In the qualifying competition for the 2023 English Open, she led the former world amateur champion Muhammad Asif 3–1 and had opportunities to win the fifth and sixth frames, but Asif recovered to win 4–3. World Snooker Tour described the match as Siripaporn having come close to her first victory on the professional tour.
Her world championship title also qualified her for the invitational 2023 Champion of Champions, where she faced Judd Trump in the opening round and lost 0–4. During her first season on tour, Siripaporn said she was training for at least five to six hours a day and frequently practised with fellow Thai professional Noppon Saengkham. She said that adapting to the professional tour required improvements to her break-building and safety play.
At the 2024 World Women's Snooker Championship, her defence of the world title ended in the last 16 when she lost 0–4 to Evans. Siripaporn partnered Trump at the 2024 World Mixed Doubles.

In January 2024, Siripaporn said that professional Thai players often needed to find their own financial support, and in June Matichon reported that she had difficulties financing travel and competition on the tour because of insufficient sponsorship.
She lost her first-round match in the qualifying competition for the 2025 World Snooker Championship 2–10 to Farakh Ajaib. Following this, she was relegated from the World Snooker Tour. She did not win any matches on the Tour, although four matches went to a .

Post-professional career Siripaporn reached the semi-finals of the 2025 World Women's Snooker Championship. She defeated Zhao Lu 4–1 in the last 16 and Kenna 4–2 in the quarter-finals, reaching the world semi-finals for the third time, but lost 1–5 to Nutcharut.
She won two gold medals in women's six-red snooker at the 2025 SEA Games in Thailand. She was part of Thailand's victorious six-red team and then met Nutcharut in the singles final. After falling 2–0 behind, Siripaporn won three consecutive frames, making a break of 49 in the deciding frame, to win 3–2.
At the 2026 World Women's Snooker Championship in Dongguan, she advanced from her group and defeated He Danni 3–0 in the first knockout round before losing 4–1 to Ng On-yee in the last 16.
