The glitz and glam of Thailand’s small-screen royalty were on full display last night (28 June 2025) at the Thailand Cultural Centre, where the 39th TV Gold Awards crowned this year’s television standouts. The annual event, one of the country’s oldest and most prestigious TV honours, brought together a sparkling lineup of stars including Mai Davika, Mean Phiravich, Amanda Obdam, and many more.
Stealing the spotlight was Kissed by The Rain (Ch3), bagging three major trophies: Outstanding Socially Creative Drama, Outstanding Television Script, and Outstanding Director for Chu Chudapa. That’s a pretty big sweep, showing just how powerful its storytelling resonated with both fans and critics alike.
