Park Hang Seo, the new head coach of Phlang Kanchana FC, has earned widespread appreciation from the team's players after contributing $1,000 of his own money to the team's common fund for shared expenses. The common fund typically accumulates through fines levied on players for lateness, unexcused training absences, tardiness, yellow cards, and red cards. These funds are traditionally used for activities that bring the team together, such as coffee breaks, monthly parties, birthday gifts, and similar social occasions. Club president Dr. Prawat Kitthammakoolnit announced the contribution on his personal Facebook page, expressing admiration for Coach Park's action. He noted that while the common fund normally relies on player fines, Park's personal contribution of $1,000—not 1,000 baht but 1,000 US dollars—exemplified genuine leadership.
