Panward entered the entertainment industry after placing 2nd runner up in the Dutchie Boys & Girls contest in 2001. She made her television debut as Marati in the Channel 3's lakorn Surayan Chandra (2002). She later took on her first antagonistic role in the 2005 lakorn Plerng Payu as the supporting character Pimphaka. Panward gained significant recognition for her villainous roles, most notably in the 2008 television series Songkram Nang Fah, where she portrayed Cherry, an ambitious flight attendant who serves as the primary antagonist to the female protagonist. Following her role in Songkram Nang Fah, she appeared frequently as an antagonist in Thai television throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s. During this period, she worked regularly on productions for major networks, including Channel 5, Channel 7 and Channel 3. In addition to television series, she appeared in the supernatural comedy-horror film Haunting Me (2007) and in the 2008 American action thriller film Bangkok Dangerous (2008) alongside Nicolas Cage.

In 2012, Panward began a hiatus from the entertainment industry to focus on her personal life and family. She remained largely absent from television and film for nine years until her return to acting in 2021. She returned to the screen in the One 31's drama Love and Fortune (2021) and To Sir, With Love (2022).

Since her return, she has continued to take on roles in various television series. She gained wider recognition for her performance as Salisa in the drama Marital Justice (2024), and as Jittrawadi (Indrasuren) in the historical drama The Empress of Ayodhaya (2024), portraying a chief consort from a foreign kingdom driven by jealousy and ambition to scheme for the position of queen consort.

Panward married Lieutenant Commander Nithi Boonyaratglin, son of General Sonthi Boonyaratglin, in an Islamic ceremony on April 28, 2012, at the Swissôtel Nai Lert Park Hotel. The marriage followed an eight-month courtship, and a wedding reception was held on June 2 at the Plaza Athenee Hotel. Upon her marriage, she converted to Islam and adopted the religious name Nur'aina. The couple has two children: a son, Atsadin Boonyaratglin (Prod), and a daughter, Palin Boonyaratglin (Pran).
