Six years have passed since her last studio project and Zom is back with a new vibe. She’s sporting a pixie-style haircut and wearing a long-sleeved shirt and black trousers. She’s just left a meeting with executives at Channel 5 — the Royal Thai Army’s TV station — and senior monks from Wat Borvoranives.
“It’s a strange day when a soldier, a monk and a singer meet to work together,” Zom said. “We were discussing a project to raise funds for charitable purposes.”
Her next album, Capital Muse, is based on the teachings of the late Supreme Patriarch Somdej Phra Yana Sangvorn, the former abbot of Borvoranives Temple. Many people may be unaware that Zom ordained as a Buddhist nun last year.
