Taew Nataporn opened up about the challenge of learning the Tai Loey dialect for her latest series, explaining that even some northeastern Thais are unfamiliar with this specific Chiang Kan, Loei province accent. She thanked her dialect coach and co‑stars, especially Uncle Noo (Surasak Chai‑atr) and Aunt Tom (Sirani Yannakitikan), for their support during filming at the ROBINSON SUPER JEANS WEEK 2026 event in Future Park Rangsit. While locals praised her pronunciation as clear and authentic, Taew said she finds southern Thai dialects too demanding, involving not just accent but attitude, and therefore prefers to avoid them. She added that her role in “Phang Luang Ta” required fewer lines, making her workload lighter than that of her fellow cast members.

Bangkok Governor Defends Flood Plan, Rejects Monkey Cheek Cancellation

Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt denied reports that the city has cancelled the royal‑initiated monkey‑cheek flood‑prevention project, explaining that private‑land constraints would require over 11 billion baht for expropriation. He said alternatives such as canal dredging, water‑way shortcuts, and tunnels are more cost‑effective and better suited to local conditions, while the monkey‑cheek concept remains viable where suitable water bodies already exist. He rejected accusations of bias and said calls for his removal are a matter for the prime minister.
