Aum Atichart and Diana Do Merit-Making at Star-Worshipping Ceremony, Luck Wins Motorcycle—License Plate Matches Home Registration Too

Actor Aum Atichart shared a moment accompanying young actress Diana Fleepo to a star-worshipping merit-making ceremony where their good fortune won them a motorcycle—and even more remarkably, the license plate matched his home vehicle registration. Despite facing mounting business pressures from rising transportation and fuel costs that have squeezed margins across industries, Aum remains committed to not reducing staff or raising prices. Speaking at the launch of the new Implant Dental Center at The Wireless Club in Bangkok, he updated reporters on how the economic conditions have impacted his operations while recounting the fortune-bringing ceremony with Diana. He also reflected on the recent Songkran festival, which he spent quietly at home with his mother and dogs, and discussed his deep care for his 102-year-old grandmother. When asked about Songkran, Aum said he stayed home the entire time, spending it with family and taking a well-deserved rest after traveling extensively beforehand. He emphasized the importance of caring for elderly family members, particularly his grandmother who turned 102 this year. "I gave her money as a gift—she loves money as rewards. Even though she can't go shopping, elderly people feel good when their children and grandchildren give them money. She has constant care at home and a nurse looking after her," he explained. When discussing how to keep her spirits high, Aum noted that his grandmother doesn't suffer from depression but is bedridden after a fall in her nineties that damaged her bones. Interestingly, her lifestyle contradicts typical health-conscious practices—she enjoys watching television and sweets, living quite differently from health-focused routines. "She drank sweetened condensed milk and such drinks in her youth. Healthcare wasn't really her concern. She doesn't drink much anymore, though she had some in her nineties when she was more mischievous," he said. Regarding business impacts from current geopolitical tensions and their effect on transportation, Aum acknowledged severe consequences across all sectors, with logistics costs hitting particularly hard.
