Emotional Farewell Held for Tae Dragon Five as Mother Breaks Down Listening to His Song

On August 11, 2026, grieving family members and close friends gathered at Wat Bua Khwan in Thailand to hold the final cremation ceremony for Tae Dragon Five. At approximately 1:00 PM, the atmosphere grew profoundly sorrowful as the procession began moving the singer's remains toward the funeral pyre.

Shortly before the casket was moved, fellow artists Vespa Ster and Andy Khemmapimuk played the song You Are Still Here, a track originally composed by Vespa specifically for Tae. Upon hearing the melody for the very first time, Tae's mother broke down in tears, crying uncontrollably from grief. The emotional weight became so intense that she ultimately had to request for the music to be turned off.

As the procession moved forward, Tae's former bandmates stepped up to honor their friend by taking on vital roles during the solemn ritual:

• Andy Khemmapimuk carried the incense burner at the front of the procession.
• Oak gently held and guided Tae's grieving mother.
• Yuan carried the monk's robes cloth (Phra Trai).
• Tae's wife walked solemnly carrying a portrait of her late husband.

The official cremation ceremony commenced at approximately 3:00 PM on the same day, surrounded by the deep sorrow of relatives, industry colleagues, and supporters paying their final respects.
