According to Prachachat Business, the arrival was marked by a significant turnout of fans and members of the public eager to greet the champion.
The homecoming was attended by the Governor of Phuket, who led an official delegation to welcome Nene Royal and her accompanying group, which included her family and members of the band OZONE.
