Thai League 3 Champions Face Promotion Uncertainty Over Licensing

Ko and Pichit Nara United, despite winning Thai League 3, face missing promotion to Thai League 2 due to potential rejection of their club licensing application.

4h ago Khaosod

Ko and Pichit Nara United, champions of Thailand's national Thai League 3, appear set to miss promotion to Thai League 2 for the upcoming 2026-27 season after their club licensing application faces potential rejection. Although the team earned automatic promotion rights as Thai League 3 national champions, the situation has become uncertain following indications that their club licensing approval may not go through. Should Nara United fail to obtain club licensing, promotion rights would fall to Mueang Loei United, the fourth-place finisher. If Mueang Loei also fails to secure licensing, the Thai League 2 promotion slot for the new season would go to Nakhon Sawan United, which finished as runner-up in Thai League 2 last season.

Young actor Khom Hasawee has frequently been the subject of romantic speculation. At a recent event for Welcome Home The Journey, a human travel documentary series at Happy Vibes Zpell @ Future Park, he updated his current relationship status and revealed he's been managing panic disorder symptoms, which have recently improved.

When asked about a recent family outing with his grandmother, Khom explained, "Yes, grandmother wanted to pick durians but they were out of season, so we got rambutan and mangosteen instead." He confirmed the trips are planned in advance, rotating between his grandfather and grandmother. "Last time we went to Phetchaburi with grandfather, this time grandmother visited so we took her to Chanthaburi," he said.

Regarding family care, Khom shared that he acts like a child at home, mostly expressing affection through hugs and cuddles with his parents and grandparents. "As I grow older and my family ages, I want to do what I can for them," he explained. He emphasized the healing effect of family time: "Being home gives me warmth from their words and actions. Hearing their laughter and stories fills me with energy."

When asked about his grandmother's expectations of him finding a partner, Khom said she's no longer pressing the issue since he already has many cousins. Regarding his current romantic status, he stated: "There isn't really a strict definition for calling someone a partner these days. I'm comfortable with my situation." He clarified that he dates casually, describing it as "coming and going" rather than anything serious. "Currently things are going well, but I'm taking a break," he added, noting that his obsession with football during the World Cup has occupied most of his time.
