Mourning the Loss of Chalita 'Punch': A Tribute from Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University
The student body at Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University is mourning the death of Chalita, a student and the adopted daughter of Thai singer Kong Huayrai, following a fatal car accident.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the student club of the Faculty of Management Sciences at Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University has publicly expressed its condolences following the passing of a student named Chalita, affectionately known as 'Punch.'
Punch was the adopted daughter of the well-known Thai singer Kong Huayrai and his wife, Bell. The couple had taken her under their care following a tragic incident in 2025, when the Office of the Auditor General (OAG) building collapsed, resulting in the deaths of her biological parents. Recently, Punch lost her life in a separate, fatal car accident.
For residents and those familiar with the Thai entertainment scene, this news has drawn significant attention due to the public nature of Kong Huayrai’s support for the young woman. The university’s student club, MS Get Smart, shared a tribute to honor her memory, highlighting the impact she had on her peers.
While the university and the family have confirmed the tragic loss, specific details regarding the circumstances of the car accident have not been disclosed in the initial reports. As this is a personal matter for the family and the university community, further updates regarding memorial services or official statements will likely be managed privately by those involved. Travelers in Thailand may notice local media coverage regarding this story, reflecting the public's sympathy for the singer and the student's family.
