Thai internet personality Aon Somrutai is bringing her love for luxury fashion to the Philippines.
The viral content creator was introduced to members of the local press during an intimate dinner hosted by Universal Records and GLXY Talent Management at Lola Ote in Quezon City on July 13.
Aon rose to fame through her luxury shopping videos and the viral catchphrase, "Thank you, Kateyki."
Her engaging personality and fashion content have earned her millions of followers across Asia.
Now, she's ready to begin a new chapter in the Philippines.
Aon's partnership with Universal Records and GLXY Talent Management marks the start of a new chapter, opening opportunities in television, music, live events, digital content, brand endorsements, and other projects in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia.
As she embarks on that journey, Aon told PEP.ph (Philippine Entertainment Portal) there's one Filipino fashion icon she'd love to collaborate with someday.

AON: "Heart, I love you!"
Asked which Filipino celebrity she'd love to spend a day shopping with, Aon didn't hesitate to mention Heart Evangelista.
Instead of choosing a specific fashion capital or luxury boutique, however, Aon said she'd gladly shop anywhere as long as Heart was by her side.
"Why do I have to choose?" she said with a laugh.
The Thai influencer then addressed Heart directly: "Heart, I love you! We are same energy."
The admiration comes as no surprise.
Both Aon and Heart have built loyal followings through their shared passion for luxury fashion, with designer handbags, couture, and high-end style becoming integral to their respective brands.
Should they eventually work together, Aon already has a vision for what their fashion project would look like.
"The concept will be like... we have never, never done it before," she said.
"Like extraordinary and extra, but make it simple."
She kept the details under wraps, calling the idea "a secret."

No regrets over luxury purchases
As someone whose online content often features designer shopping, Aon was also asked whether she had ever regretted making an expensive fashion purchase.
Her answer came with a wide smile of confidence: "No regrets."
According to Aon, every luxury item she buys carries sentimental value because she hopes to pass them on to her daughter, Briana, someday.
"Because I can send to Briana in the future," she explained. "That's why you have daughter."
Asked to describe her personal style in just three words, Aon chose qualities that mirror the cheerful image fans have come to know online.
"Beautiful, positive energy, and kind."
With her growing popularity across Southeast Asia, Aon is now hoping to build the same connection with Filipino audiences.
Her partnership with Universal Records and GLXY Talent Management signals a long-term commitment to the local entertainment industry, opening doors for future projects and brand partnerships.
If her first visit to Manila is any indication, Filipino fans can expect to see much more of Aon Somrutai in the months ahead.
