Zen Group is launching a comprehensive 2025 rebranding of three Thai Isaan restaurant brands—Tam Mua, Lao Yuan, and Khiang—with new locations and expansion plans to bring Thai street food to international markets. On July 7, 2025, Sirutwat Chatchawal, Senior Executive Vice President of the Franchise Business Group at Zen Corporation Group Public Company Limited, revealed the company's strategy to refresh these brands to meet modern consumer demands for dining experiences beyond just satisfaction.

According to Sirutwat, Khiang is the fastest-growing brand, originally built through delivery platforms with 40% delivery sales and 60% dine-in revenue. The company is now shifting the balance to 20% delivery and 80% dine-in service, similar to traditional restaurants. The rebrand includes ten new menu items designed to attract modern customers to eat in-store more frequently, expected to increase average bill value from 200 baht to 300-400 baht per customer. The expansion also targets international tourists.

Khiang has opened locations in strategic tourist areas including Suvarnabhumi Airport and Khao Yai Village, serving as gateways for global visitors. Future locations will include Liberty Silom in Bangkok next month, Mae Rim and Nimmanhaemin in Chiang Mai, with studies underway for Pattaya, Chonburi, and Phuket. Currently operating 46 branches nationwide, Khiang plans to add five more locations by year-end—four in Thailand and one in Laos—bringing the total to 51 branches.

Tam Mua, with 70 current branches, is transitioning to standalone locations open until midnight with alcohol service. A pilot opened in Buriram, with three additional locations planned for Bangkok's Ari, Sukhumvit 50, and Onnuch areas. Lao Yuan targets opening two branches this year—one in Thailand and one in Laos—reaching 43 total branches by year-end, comprising 41 domestic and 2 international locations.

Sirutwat noted that all three brands experience continuous sales growth yearly, driven by their focus on som tam and pad krapow—two of the five essential Thai dishes. The rebranding strengthens Zen's Thai food portfolio in a competitive market valued at over 500 billion baht annually.

Netizens flooded the comments with praise for the child's talent and charm, playfully dubbing the school "Naga School" and filling the thread with heartwarming remarks such as "My scales fell off from listening" and "I want to become a naga after hearing this."

On July 7, 2026, at 2 p.m., teacher Roongroj Simaiynam and first-grade classroom teacher from Ban Waraprai School in Chomphra District, Surin Province, spoke with online news alongside Chaiyo—seven-year-old student Satthawut Namnusonsri—the viral clip's star. The boy explained that he didn't initially know the song but learned it by listening online and practicing repeatedly. He never expected his teacher to film and post the video on social media, but felt thrilled seeing himself go viral on TikTok with so many followers and admirers.

Teacher Roongroj shared his delight at the overwhelming response. He regularly films his students doing cute things, preferring to share these moments on social media rather than keeping them private, so others can see different sides of the school's children. The viral success has not only made Chaiyo famous but has also brought greater recognition to the school, with netizens nicknaming it "Naga School" and leaving playful comments that create joy for the online community.

Several influencers and celebrities, including those who are the teacher's favorite stars, have used the audio from the clip, liked it, and reposted it, bringing him immense joy. Teacher Roongroj noted that Chaiyo naturally has a melodious voice, and after the video gained popularity, they provided additional coaching, particularly on lyrical accuracy, to help him sing even better.

Moving forward, the school plans to continue developing Chaiyo's talents by enrolling him in student arts and crafts competitions and possibly folk singing contests. They have already begun rehearsals to prepare him for various events outside school. The teacher, who enjoys cultural music, is leading these efforts.

Chaiyo thanked everyone for their support and vowed to practice diligently and improve himself further. His father, a school groundskeeper, expressed immense pride in his son's achievement. Both teacher Roongroj and the school expressed gratitude for all the encouragement and hoped for continued support in the future.

BANGKOK — 6 July 2026, Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has warned Cabinet ministers that failing to maintain a public profile could result in losing their posts, citing poor communication as a significant issue.

At Government House on July 6, Anutin revealed he had convened a Cabinet meeting to caution ministers that those who remain largely invisible to the public face the risk of removal.

"If you're a minister the world forgets, the prime minister may forget you too. And if I forget you, there's no need for you to remain in the Cabinet," he said.

Anutin stated he had begun warning some ministers about their public visibility two weeks prior and would address the matter again in response to recent polling data.

He emphasized that while ministers were working diligently, they also needed to communicate their accomplishments to the public.

"You can't just work well without communicating. A minister must both deliver results and explain them," he said.

When asked about the timeline for assessing Cabinet performance, which has been in office for roughly two months, Anutin said it would not take long. He indicated that future Cabinet reshuffles would be determined by performance, ability, and dedication.
