RTSC congratulates Nene Royal on winning America’s Got Talent 2026, bringing honor to Thailand on the global stage. The party highlights the potential of Thai youth and supports government efforts to promote Thailand’s music and creative economy industries. The creative economy is emphasized as an important sector for national development.
On 24 September 2026 GMT+7, Ms. Sasikan Wattanajan, spokesperson for the Ruam Thai Sang Chart Party (RTSC), congratulated “Nene Royal” or “Praew-Rattikan Amlai,” a 16-year-old Thai youth artist from Phuket, on winning America’s Got Talent 2026 (Season 21) in the United States. RTSC and she warmly expressed their congratulations to Nene and her family. This achievement is not just an individual artist’s victory but another demonstration that Thai youth and artists have the potential to stand on the world stage. When talent, creativity, and opportunity come together, the result can bring great pride and fame to Thailand. Nene’s success reflects the opportunities in Thailand’s music and creative industries, which should be viewed beyond entertainment, extending to career creation, employment, income, intellectual property, and showcasing Thai culture and identity to the world. This achievement brings joy and pride to Thai people and is hoped to inspire many young Thais to dare to dream, develop their talents, and believe that Thais can reach the global stage.
"Today, we should not only ask how many more world-class Thai artists there will be, but also how to build a system that allows many talented Thai youth to reach that level. This includes providing performance venues, skill development, access to funding, production capabilities, and channels to international markets. RTSC recognizes the importance of supporting those working in the creative industries—especially the younger generation, artists, musicians, producers, and related entrepreneurs—so they can develop their skills and expand their reach. The creative industry can create opportunities for young people and generate economic value for the country. Nene has proven that one Thai child with a guitar can reach a stage viewed by a global audience. The government’s role is to ensure that such success is not a one-off event but that Thailand provides an environment where talented individuals can grow, showcase their abilities, and earn a living from their creativity," Ms. Sasikan said.
