Government House was in festive mood on Tuesday as Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul and several cabinet ministers took turns at the microphone alongside Phuket rocker Nene Royal, ahead of her upcoming appearance on “America’s Got Talent”.
The 16-year-old musician — real name Rattikarn “Praew” Umloy — arrived around 11am, shortly before the weekly cabinet meeting. The occasion was a publicity event arranged by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) to showcase the young talent who has captured international attention.
The government has named Nene as a tourism ambassador to help showcase and promote Thailand to the world. It also announced that it would cover all her expenses related to her participation in America’s Got Talent.
