On September 16, 2026, Princess Ubolratana Rajakanya Sirivadhana Barnavadi traveled to Rayong province to monitor the ongoing success of the TO BE NUMBER ONE project. During her visit to Matthayom Taksin Rayong School, the Princess presided over the opening of a new TO BE NUMBER ONE club and a 'Friends Corner' center, which are designed to support youth development.
According to Khaosod Online, Rayong Governor Traipop Wongtrairat reported that the province has actively integrated the project’s three core strategies—creating public awareness, expanding networks, and strengthening mental resilience—across local government, educational institutions, and private sectors. The initiative aims to guide children and citizens toward becoming productive members of society while remaining drug-free.

The project serves as a key pillar in the region's efforts to foster a healthy, drug-free environment for the younger generation. While the visit confirms the continued royal support for these local initiatives, further details regarding the specific expansion of these centers to other schools in the province remain to be announced by local authorities.
