Anchoring Art and Culture – Opening the Arena for UOB Painting Competition #17

3d ago Khaosod

To reinforce its commitment to promoting artistic potential and supporting long-term professional development for artists, UOB Thailand has announced the opening of entries for the 17th UOB Painting Competition for 2025. Beyond serving as an annual art competition, the UOB Painting Competition acts as a gateway to sustainable career development for artists, offering continuous opportunities to showcase work at both regional and international levels, coupled with ongoing support through the UOB Artist Alumni Network.

For 2025, UOB is elevating artistic excellence by refining the eligibility criteria for professional artist applicants to be more clearly defined, reflecting experience, creative continuity, and the artist's role within the art community. These refined standards help elevate competition quality, ensuring artists are evaluated alongside peers with comparable experience.

Ms. Tharrat Oularahankij, Assistant Chief Executive Officer of Communications and Corporate Image at UOB Thailand, stated: "We believe that art is not merely about creating beauty, but is an important force that connects diverse perspectives, creates dialogue, and brings communities together."

Previous award-winning artists from the UOB Painting Competition in Thailand shared their professional experiences in both domestic and international contexts, reflecting the competition's role in opening doors to broader recognition.

Panpan Yodmani, the grand prize winner from the UOB Painting Competition in 2010, which was the competition's inaugural year in Thailand, has achieved international recognition for her work, including the Benesse Prize from Singapore Biennale 2016, and was selected for an artist residency in Paris in 2024. Most recently, her work has been continuously displayed at the White Space: Unbroken Wisdom exhibition at Lim Hak Tai Gallery at NAFA in Singapore.

Panpan stated: "Our work distinctly reflects cultural identity. Opportunities like foreign artist residency programs help open spaces for Thai art to participate in broader global conversations. The truly impactful factor is continuous, long-term support rather than just a single award."

Ms. Yamila Hali, Thailand's national grand prize winner and UOB Southeast Asian Painting of the Year for 2024, won with her work "Dua (Pray for a Blessing)," which was exhibited at Art Central 2026 in Hong Kong.

"The UOB Painting Competition platform plays a crucial role in creating new opportunities for artists, generating international recognition, and supporting artists to confidently develop and grow in their careers long-term," Yamila stated.

Ms. Thanyadhat Manasarakul, winner of the Most Promising Artist of the Year award for emerging or amateur artists at the 2024 UOB Painting Competition (Thailand), won with her work "Ctrl + Alt + Destruct," which has also been displayed at Art Central 2026 in Hong Kong. She added: "Thai artists play a role as storytellers on the world stage, conveying social issues and human values through perspectives deeply rooted in local context. Visibility and support from institutions help us maintain our cultural identity while meaningfully communicating and connecting with international audiences."

Sunny Sunday – Namtarn Happy with Acting Career, 11 Years in the Industry Without Burning Out

Actress Namtarn plays a 100-year-old ghost with no memory of her death in new film 'City Curse,' marking her latest role after over a decade in the industry without burning out.

3d ago Khaosod

Actress Namtarn Pichukkana Vongvarotanasil takes on another challenging role as 'Fang Kham Ghost' in the film 'City Curse,' paired with fresh-faced actor Tee Bunyakiat Vongsa-ajem.

Today she discussed her work on the film, her acting career spanning over a decade, and future goals, while also sharing updates about her wedding after her long-time boyfriend Pai Pattish Pisetchkul—whom she's been dating for 14 years—surprised her with a marriage proposal during the Northern Lights trip in Norway.

On her role in 'City Curse': Nametarn said: "In this story, I play Fang Kham Ghost, a spirit that has existed for over 100 years with no memory of how she died. A human has been taking care of her all this time, and the role has evolved across generations until the current era where the caretaker is a social media kid. He wonders why other ghosts have legends but I don't, so he tries to create pages and Instagram accounts for me to make me legendary. He tries to teach me how to be a scary ghost, but I can't do it. I'm bad at scaring people. So he brings me different horror movies to copy from. My co-stars like Sprite, John, and Ann teach me how different ghosts move and act—how Japanese ghosts crawl, how Thai ghosts dance—and I try to copy them, but no one is ever scared of me."

On finding answers about her character's death: Nametarn explained: "Yes, the character needs to find out why she died. I noticed that everyone has a partner, so why don't I? I believe my destined partner must have a shell-shaped mark on their neck. The male lead happens to have one, so I'm convinced he's the one. Turns out it's a tattoo, not a mark, so I'm disappointed. The story has a lot of cute, romantic comedy elements. Mostly I'm the one pursuing him because I've been around for 100 years, so my jokes might be outdated compared to Gen Z kids—it has that puppy-tricking vibe."

On working with actor Tee Bunyakiat: Nametarn said: "He's very sweet. When I found out I'd be working with him, I looked him up and discovered he's a famous footballer. He's close in age to my younger brother, so we connected easily. He's also from the North like me, so communication was smooth. His character is very heavy—he has the most emotional baggage in the story. He's emotionally complex and has to be depressed throughout most of the film. He has less screen time but delivers a lot. His acting is excellent. I saw his potential from the workshop day itself. He came to ask me for advice on some scenes, especially the comedic parts or difficult film scenes because films are different from series—they use a single camera and need to shoot dramatic scenes multiple times from different angles. He once asked why later takes didn't feel as good as the first one, and I explained that you have to reset yourself each time, which is already difficult."

On how quickly she decided to take the role: Nametarn said: "Not long at all. I've worked with director Kop since the film 'Som Bai.' We've actually been discussing this project for 3-4 years before it came together. When he contacted me, I asked to read the script first because I didn't want to repeat a character. After reading it, I loved it. The character is contemporary and connected to the social media era where ghosts have to create content. It was challenging—could I make people believe she's Fang Kham without looking like Som Bai?"

On whether the shooting locations were scary: Nametarn said: "We actually shot in Phu Chiao forest and in old houses that were decades old. But no one got haunted by ghosts because we shot from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and by the time we'd go back to sleep, the sun was already rising. Ghosts can't haunt you then. (laughs) But there was something incredible—the male lead's house in the story belonged to an elderly owner who once told her descendants not to demolish or sell the house because someone would come to film a movie there. At the time, no one believed her."

"Coffin Therapy" – Japan's Bizarre New Wellness Trend: Lying Still in a Coffin for Mental Healing

A Japanese wellness trend called "Coffin Therapy" has people lying in coffins for 30 minutes to contemplate mortality and reduce anxiety about death, with proponents suggesting it may help address the country's rising suicide rates.

3d ago Khaosod

Japan is embracing an unconventional mental health practice called "Coffin Therapy," which involves lying in a coffin for approximately 30 minutes to reflect on life and contemplate mortality. Originally piloted by a funeral company in Chiba Prefecture, the practice has expanded to spas and workshops nationwide.

Participants can choose between open and closed coffins. Supporters argue that the enclosed space creates a peaceful, private environment for genuine introspection without distractions. While the concept may seem strange internationally, it connects to Japan's "Kuyō" tradition—memorial rites for the deceased that promote awareness of life's fragility and acceptance of death.

The trend emerges as Japan grapples with elevated youth suicide rates. Some proponents believe that safely confronting mortality in a controlled, reversible format may reduce fear of death and help people appreciate life's value more deeply.

Businesses offering Coffin Therapy, including Grave Tokyo, frame it as a "mental reset." Grave Tokyo designer Mikago Fuse emphasizes making death less frightening and helping people recognize life's worth. The company designs colorful, friendly coffins to counter traditional morbid associations.

Tokyo spa "Meiso Kukan Kanoke-in" offers the service for approximately 400 baht, allowing customers to choose open or closed coffins with optional add-ons like relaxing music, projected imagery, or complete silence.

In 2024, a Kyoto university hosted a Coffin Therapy workshop for students. Many participants reported reviewing life anxieties and experiencing reduced fear of death. Some felt motivated to live more fully.

Mental health experts continue recommending standard treatments for depression and suicidal ideation—meditation, mindfulness, CBT, SSRIs, and emerging therapies like ketamine and esketamine for severe cases. However, Coffin Therapy supporters believe symbolically "rehearsing" confrontation with death may complement these established approaches.

Yossakorn Insists Corruption Can't Be Fixed in 100 Years—Must Push Thailand Toward High Income, Believing Wealthy People Won't Cheat

Deputy Prime Minister Yossakorn argues Thailand must achieve high-income status to curb corruption and social problems, positioning higher education and research as economic engines during a keynote at Chiang Mai University.

3d ago Khaosod

Deputy Prime Minister and Higher Education Minister Yossakorn Wongswaddi delivered a keynote speech at Chiang Mai University's 2026 administrators' seminar on May 23, outlining the ministry's policy direction. Rather than pursuing new strategies, Yossakorn stressed the need to fill existing gaps and foster collaborative governance, positioning the ministry as a science-focused mini-cabinet equipped with world-class knowledge and personnel capable of creating sandbox pilot programs to address the nation's major challenges across multiple dimensions.

The core mission involves linking research with the economy, foreign affairs, security, disaster management, and public administration to achieve results that responsible agencies can scale up. Yossakorn's paramount objective is pushing Thailand toward high-income status through a new economic engine, which he argues is the foundation for sustainably solving entrenched social problems.

"I set the goal for Thailand to become a high-income country, and people might laugh, but everything comes down to making a living," Yossakorn said. "On corruption, even fixing it for 100 years won't solve it completely. But if we ensure people have enough money, who would want to commit corruption? It's basic human nature—if we trust our people, they won't cheat anyway. Therefore, we need a new economic structure with new economic engines to be the nation's salvation."

Yossakorn highlighted the World Bank's framework for developing an innovation ecosystem by balancing three pillars—education, research, and innovation—growing proportionally. Losing any single pillar would stall the economic wheel. He called for outdated disciplines to be abandoned by educational institutions, instead focusing on upskilling and reskilling workers to keep pace with new technologies.

Yossakorn urged researchers to leave their labs and build networks, reorienting research to meet market demands and investor needs while prioritizing intellectual property creation with real economic value. He also advocated for universities to redesign education management around user experience, expanding programs across all life stages from infants' first 100 days through elderly palliative care.

Chiang Mai University's Science and Technology Park exemplifies one of Thailand's finest startup incubation ecosystems and serves as the nation's innovation training hub. "Chiang Mai isn't remote—it's a hub connecting India and China, and Thailand's biodiversity strength serves as crucial source material for medical industry advancement and promoting Nature Positive concepts," Yossakorn concluded.

Thai Durian Sales Push in Nanning: Strong Orders from Importers and Snack Manufacturers

Thai durian exporters are securing strong orders from Chinese importers and food manufacturers, with major buyers in Nanning confirming 2025 purchase targets totaling thousands of containers amid expanding market opportunities across centra

3d ago Khaosod

The Department of International Trade Promotion is accelerating fruit market expansion, with trade attachés in Nanning actively engaging the Hongxi wholesale fruit market. Thai durian is receiving overwhelming positive responses from importers and confectionery companies. Ms. Sunantha Kangwalkulgij, Director-General of DITP under the Ministry of Commerce, revealed that the department has directed trade promotion office directors stationed in key fruit export target countries to implement Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Supachee Suttheermphand's policy to accelerate Thai fruit market expansion to accommodate the current fruit harvest season. A recent report from Niti Prathumvong, Director of the DITP office in Nanning, shows successful progress in promoting Thai fruit exports to the Chinese market, particularly Thai durian, with increasing interest from importers in purchasing Thai durian.

The trade attaché reported meetings with Mr. Su Yueyun, President of the Hunan Fruit Association, and Mr. Li Pingfang, Deputy General Manager of the Hongxi Fruit Wholesale Market, revealing that from January to May 2025, 150,000 tons of Thai fruits were imported, including 70,000 tons of durian. Throughout 2024, the Hongxi wholesale market imported 1 million tons of foreign fruits, with Thai fruits comprising 40%, including 180,000 tons of durian, 100,000 tons of longan, and 100,000 tons of mangosteen, coconut, and pomelo.

Meetings with seven major Thai fruit importers in the Hongxi market focused on expanding market opportunities for Thai fruits in central and western China, particularly durian, mangosteen, and coconut. All confirmed their 2025 durian import targets: Fruit Mate (1,000 containers), He Jinsheng Fruit (800 containers), Yunhui Fruit (500 containers), Hunan Ju Hai Xin Trading (1,000 containers), Long Yuan Trading (1,200 containers), Hunan Chang Nong (900 containers), and Sinkin (1,000 containers).

The trade attaché also met with executives from Greenery Fruit, the largest comprehensive fruit supply chain company in Hunan Province with over 1,600 chain stores throughout China, to discuss promoting Thai fruits in Hunan and nearby provinces. The company confirmed a 2025 target of importing 1,000 containers of fresh durian and 30 containers of frozen durian.

Meetings with He Muji Bakery Supply, which manufactures durian-based processed products including crepes, pancakes, mochi, and mooncakes and currently imports approximately 200 containers of frozen durian pulp annually from Thailand, revealed the company's interest in increasing frozen durian imports. DITP will organize trade negotiations for the company and Thai exporters at future opportunities.

Discussions with Busy Ming, a snack distributor operating 25,000 chain stores under the Zhao Yiming Snacks and Busy For You brands across 30 provinces in China, showed the company's plans to increase Thai snack imports. The trade attaché invited the company to participate in THAIFEX-Anuga Asia 2026 to source Thai snack products.

70-Year-Old Woman Hospitalized After Shock from Encountering Humanoid Robot on Street

A 70-year-old woman in Macau was hospitalized after being startled by a humanoid robot on the street, though doctors cleared her to go home with no injuries sustained. Police said the robot was being used for a promotional activity by a loc

3d ago Khaosod

A 70-year-old woman in Macau was taken to the hospital after being frightened by a humanoid robot walking on the street in the Patane district. Police later revealed the robot was being used for a promotional activity by a local tutoring institute.

According to public safety police, the incident occurred around 9 p.m. on Sally Tow Hnan Street. While the woman was stopped to use her smartphone, she suddenly sensed something approaching from behind. Upon turning around, she discovered it was a humanoid robot, causing her significant shock.

Police confirmed there was no physical contact between the woman and the robot, and she suffered no injuries. However, she reported feeling unwell from the fright and requested to be taken to the hospital for examination. After a medical checkup, doctors cleared her to return home, and she decided not to file any complaints or charges.

Authorities confirmed the humanoid robot belonged to a local tutoring institute and was being operated by a 50-year-old local man who stated he was testing the robot's performance to improve its effectiveness for future promotional activities.

A video of the incident quickly spread on social media, showing the woman appearing to argue with the robot while several police officers stood nearby before the robot was removed from the area. In the video, the woman can be heard shouting in Cantonese that the robot made her heart race, questioning why such machinery was being operated in public.

Police warned the robot operator to exercise greater caution when operating the humanoid robot in public spaces to prevent causing fear or safety risks to the public.

Mark Kim Choy, director of Study Hard Education Centre, told reporters that the institute had conducted three promotional activities using the robot in the past week. He stated that over the past six months, the institution had used the robot for public relations activities in crowded areas, which typically received positive feedback from the public.

Choy also revealed that after the incident, he personally accompanied the 70-year-old woman to the hospital and drove her home after she was released.

Decharat Challenges Supachee: Rushing to Showcase Results Without Reviewing Data, Fruit Exports Up But Farm-Gate Prices Down

Pheu Thai policy director Decharat challenges Commerce Minister Supachee over April fruit export claims, noting that while durian, rambutan and lychee exports surged, farm-gate prices for farmers actually fell due to earlier harvests floodi

3d ago Khaosod

On May 23, 2025, Decharat Sukkamagnet, policy director of the Pheu Thai Party, commented on Deputy Prime Minister and Commerce Minister Supachee Suthermphan's social media post presenting fruit export achievements for April 2025, which returned to positive growth after eight consecutive months of decline. Supachee highlighted three commodities: durian exports up 109.5%, rambutan up 92.8%, and lychee up 70.0%. While Supachee indicated this was a year-on-year comparison and represented a ministry accomplishment, Decharat questioned why farm-gate prices for these fruits actually decreased.

According to agricultural price index data from the Office of Agricultural Economics, April 2025 compared to April 2024 showed durian prices down 1.7%, rambutan prices down 22.8%, and lychee prices down 7.4%. This means increased exports did not translate to higher prices for farmers—a point Supachee did not address.

Decharat noted that fruit farmers had already challenged Supachee, explaining that last year durian production came late, reducing export values in April. This year, production arrived earlier, boosting April export values, but simultaneously depressing farm-gate prices. Production data from the Office of Agricultural Economics confirmed durian production in April 2025 increased 26.1% year-on-year, while rambutan production surged 6,137.0%, having been minimal in April 2024 but peaking in June 2024. This earlier harvest timing this year drove down rambutan prices by 22.8%.

Even lychee, where April 2025 production declined compared to the previous year but exports increased, still saw farm-gate prices fall. Decharat stated: "Agricultural commodity figures must be viewed comprehensively. I would advise Supachee not to rush presenting achievements. Agricultural products are complex, involving seasonality, production volatility, and supply chain dynamics. We must examine figures from multiple dimensions simultaneously to verify whether improvements stem from genuine progress or mask underlying problems that need correction."

Decharat further suggested that Supachee should accelerate the Commerce Ministry's publication of export data online, as current updates only cover through March 2025. This would allow broader analysis to identify which agricultural exports are declining and require attention. Beneath the preliminary positive signals Supachee and the Commerce Ministry highlighted lie negative signals and problems requiring deeper understanding and correction.
