The Tom Thailand 2026 Closes With Stars In' and DJ Man
Thailand's inaugural Tom pageant wrapped up intensive training with vocal coach In Budokhan and DJ Man preparing hundreds of contestants for auditions scheduled for late July at Bangkok's Forum Park Hotel.
The Tom Thailand 2026, Thailand's first Tom pageant, concluded a major exclusive workshop with vocal coach In Budokhan and DJ Man providing intensive training to hundreds of contestants in preparation for auditions on July 25-26.
The final day of the three-session workshop took place on Sunday, July 19, 2026, at Forum Park Hotel in Sathorn. License holder Lek Bunnadaa Thiphibal, along with organizers Naan Wilailuksana Sirisak and Mae Not Maxim, led hundreds of contestants through a final intensive training day. The learning atmosphere was energetic, with In Budokhan serving as a full-fledged vocal coach, teaching voice technique and singing fundamentals in an approachable manner while providing personalized feedback to contestants.
DJ Man Pattanaphol also brought his team from the popular show "Kothai Man" to share perspectives, build confidence, and provide inspiration to the contestants in a warm and supportive environment.
Organizersk Lek and Naan explained that this third and final workshop session covered dance, personality, and singing training, with contestants showing clear progress. They praised In Budokhan's energetic and outstanding vocal instruction and DJ Man's inspiring discussion on what it means to be "Kothai Man," creating a welcoming atmosphere.
In Budokhan commented on the vocal training: "Today I completely revamped their breathing technique and voice placement. We worked on pitch control and emphasized proper mouth positioning, as incorrect mouth shape can make singing ineffective. I've seen how talented and attractive all these contestants are—they have tremendous potential. Don't lose hope and be grateful for this workshop opportunity, as such intensive training is not easily accessible. Do your very best so you won't regret it later."
DJ Man Pattanaphol shared his perspective: "I've known Khun Lek for a long time, and I found this pageant concept impressive. While my show 'Kothai Man' typically features men, these women embody that same 'Kothai Man' spirit. Each has their own life struggles just like men, especially in a society that's still not fully open-minded. Seeing their gentle yet strong perspectives shows that regardless of gender or sexual orientation, if it matches the 'Kothai Man' spirit, it belongs on this stage. I encourage all contestants to express yourselves fully and do your best, because every person is a valuable resource for our country."
