Add Carabao announced he is seeking out Nong Nene to personally donate 1 million baht to support her participation in the AGT finals, aiming to bring the victory back, saying he is very proud.
On 29 Aug 2026 GMT+7, reporters reported that after the global competition America’s Got Talent 2026, Nene Royal, or Nong Praew Rattikan Amloy, a 16-year-old Thai youth artist known for her distinctive rock singing and powerful voice, created a sensation again on the world stage by receiving the Golden Buzzer, granting her immediate entry to the finals. She was so overwhelmed with joy that she cried and embraced her parents on stage.
Nene is scheduled to return to Thailand to continue her studies before returning to compete again in the finals.
Recently, Mr. Yuenyong Opakul, known as Add Carabao, the famous singer, posted a message to Nene on his Facebook page “Add Bao,” stating, "Nene, where are you now? Are you in Thailand? Uncle Add is very proud of you. You’re truly talented and have inspired Thai children to want to be like you. Believe it or not, after my concerts, many parents bring little children and guitars to ask for my autograph. This phenomenon has grown unusually strong because of the popularity of your talent. Imagine how overwhelming it would be backstage at your shows! Haha."
Uncle Add wants to personally donate 1 million baht in cash to you to cover travel and expenses, so you can bring victory to our beloved Thai people and Thailand.
I want to offer you a small ray of encouragement to carry out this mission on behalf of the Thai people. Make the finals a smashing success, my dear. Love you... muah.” He also left a contact number.
After the post was shared, Add Carabao’s fans reposted it hoping it would reach Nene, commenting, “I get goosebumps for her, really admire Carabao,” “This is exactly the support Thai children need—from generous elders. Soon, it won’t be hard to see Thai kids on global stages every year. Thai children are talented and capable if given good support and opportunities. Soon, Thai script will become an icon,” “Thank you to kind-hearted elders like P’Add for supporting Nong Nene,” and more.
