Thanathorn’s painting NFTs sell for 3.3 milion baht

Progressive Movement leader Thanathorn Juangroongruangkit has sold three of his paintings in a non-fungible token (NFT) auction for more than 3 million baht on Tuesday, with most of the proceeds going to the Thai Lawyers for Human Rights (TLHR) group.

The auction was held from Jan 12 to 17 via the NFT1 Market, a Thailand-based marketplace for digital art and NFTs.
