» Artist Prach Pimarnman was born in Bangkok and later moved to study in the southern province of Narathiwat. Prach attended state schools that did not allow students to speak the local language, Bahasa Melayu, in class. As a result, he cannot speak Bahasa Melayu fluently. When he was in Bangkok, he was mocked by his friends because he spoke Thai with a different accent than Bangkokians. The conflict of his bicultural identity made Prach question who he is and led to the creation of art exhibition "Orang Siyae, Oghae Nayu".
