My biography

I was born and grew up in Bangkok. I always spend my life having different experiences. In my childhood, I played around with my gangster friend. I started to work as a labourer when I was 15. At 20 years old I was a monk for 2 months in a remote area and then graduated with a business major and joined to work in a public company for 3 years and became the journalist at Thai PBS. After one year, I quit my job and spent my life in India for 1 year and came back to be an independent journalist.

1 year in India

In 2022, I decided to live in India for one year. My first purpose was to study the English language, and then I travelled from north to south India alone for 2 months. I spent the rest of my time in India to learn about people and their cultures.
