The Princess Galayanivadhana
Institute of Cultural Studies,
Prince of Songkla University,
Pattani Province, Thailand has
organized cultural events to
highlight dedication and
contribution of Princess
Galayanivadhana to the
university and institute.

One of the main event was a
joint exhibition of 14 artists from
Thailand with artists from
Malaysia (10) and Singapore (11).
It was officiated by Mr. Chuan
Lek Pai (ex- PM of Thailand) on
June 5th at the Southern Thai
Gallery.

The invited artists from Malaysia were Dr. Mohamad Najib Ahmad Dawa, Abd Rani Majid,
Chong Hip Seng, Heng Eow Lin, Low Kong Wen, Patrick Lasak, Tan Kai Sheuan, Renny
Cheng Sing Ching, Tew Nai Tong and Me.

Among the Singapore artists invited were Goh Beng Kwan, Koeh Sia Yong, Chew Swee Fah
and Low Puay Hua.

Among the Thai artists were Kamol Kongthong, Thanakorn Boonrat, Satawat Chuaynum,
Muhammad Rojana-Udomsat and Muhammadtoroyee Waekeji.

After the show I was invited by one of the Thai artist Muhammadtoroyee (@ Fauzi) to
visit his house and studio. I accepted his sincere invitation and even extended my stay to
2 days at his house. There were many unfinished large scale paintings at his house. Although
he is quite young, he has won several open shows in Thailand.

He had introduce me to Nik Rusli, a Thai but studying at UIA, Malaysia. Both of them had
brought me around to visit many beautiful locations and historical places in Pattani. Believe
me, I had a very good time. Thank you both for your great hospitality. My salam to all
your kind parents.
