Nene Royal, a performer who’s captured hearts across Thailand, is taking her gifts all the way to the finals of America’s Got Talent—and she’s doing it with pure Phuket spirit.

On September 23rd, 2026, at 7:00 a.m. Thailand time, Nene Royal will perform in the AGT Finals in the United States. That means if you’re in Phuket, you can wake up early with your coffee and catch this historic moment live.
