PHUKET: Jaruwat ''Dome'' Cheawaram, a 21-year-old from Phuket, won television's prime time Sunday singing contest, The Star 8, last night.

Then he joined in a duet with another Phuket winner, Withchayani ''Gam'' Pierkin, who won The Star 5. The two chatted in southern dialect.

The sing-off with the only remaining contestant, Tanatat ''Kangsomm'' Chaiyaat, took place at IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani, with about 10,000 fans coming to support their favorite contestant . . . and decide the winner.

Khun Dome will be signed on a contract with GMM Grammy and probably performing on Phuket soon.
