snoop1130 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 The public has been posting condolences left, right and centre after learning that avid art collector and former pop singer/composer turned Bangkok University Rector, Petch Osathanugrah has passed away at the age of 68. Teens of the ’90s are familiar with Petch for his hit song ‘I’m Just a Man’ (Mai Chai Phoo Wiset), which was a unique electronic pop number at that time. In business circles, he was likely well-known as the eldest son of Surat of the Osathanugrah family, one of Thailand’s conglomerates. However, his character and almost everything about him was miles away from the prototype of a rich kid and his frizzy hair made him almost weird in that era, at least compared to others. He was also a founder of Spa Advertising (now Spa-Hakuhodo), while his most recent role was as the Rector of Bangkok University, where he introduced numerous innovative approaches to education to align with the needs of today’s job market including a bold move to cooperate with the MasterClass platform to provide over 150 streamed classes to the students.
