Mr. Yingyong Jongtaveetham, a coach from Phuket Karate Center, is the father of Miss Chidchanok Fong, also known as Nong Moutan or Botan, who is known as the girl selling lotus flowers. She helps her parents sell lotus flowers and food for alms in front of Wat Lang Sarn temple every morning.

Mr. Yingyong expressed his gratitude to the disciples of Wat Lang Sarn, Buddhists, and all the kind-hearted people who support buying lotus flowers and food from Nong Mootan (Botan) and her parents every morning. Every baht earned is used to cover the expenses of taking the student-athletes to participate in various competitions, bringing success and reputation back to the people of Phuket.
