Prepare to watch another compelling performance on the "Thailand’s Chosen One 2026" stage, a singing competition that offers Thai artists the chance to showcase their talents and compete to represent Thailand at the Eurovision Song Contest Asia. MONICA (Wida Punnahitnan), a young female singer-songwriter from the White Music label under GMM Music, is set to perform her latest song "Khong Khuan Khoi." She has specially crafted a new version of the music and performance exclusively for this event.
This time, MONICA plans to present "Khong Khuan Khoi" from a fresh perspective by blending Thai musical influences with contemporary sounds. She will convey the song’s emotions through her distinctive vocal style and singing techniques, particularly highlighting her signature Pop and R&B charm.
MONICA shared about her preparation for the competition: “After completing the new song and special version for the show, I’ve been practicing singing every day. More importantly, I am preparing the overall performance I will present, because I want every element on stage to tell a story together. For example, the use of ‘flowers’ is intentionally interpreted as a symbol connected to the feelings in the song. That’s all I can reveal for now. ‘Khong Khuan Khoi’ is a song I love and intentionally chose for this competition because of its deeply touching sadness and the perfect blend of Thai atmosphere with contemporary music. The biggest challenge is all the components — the song itself, conveying the emotions, and the stage performance. I admit I’m very nervous, but my team and I have prepared thoroughly. Finally, I ask everyone to support me, follow the show, and vote for me, number 3.”
This stage appearance is a significant opportunity for MONICA to express her musical identity through her voice, interpretation of the song, and performance, especially by incorporating the charm of Thai-influenced music mixed with contemporary styles in her own way.
For the competition “Thailand’s Chosen One 2026,” judging is divided into three parts: 40% from a panel of experts, 40% from domestic audience votes, and 20% from global audience votes.

Music fans are encouraged to send their support to MONICA, contestant number 3, and watch closely as she brings her vocal power, character, and musical perspective to the “Thailand’s Chosen One 2026” stage.
