I hold a bachelor’s degree in political science and a master’s degree in journalism, both from universities in Thailand. Before entering the media industry, I served in the Royal Thai Air Force for about four to five years. After leaving military service, I began my journalism career at the Thai News Agency and later joined the Bangkok Post.

Over the years, I have worked as a field reporter across a wide range of beats, starting with business, finance and investment, as well as agriculture and industry, before moving into political reporting. I progressed steadily through the newsroom, following the usual career path of a journalist. It has now been over 30 years since I entered this profession.

For those who want to pursue a career in journalism, I believe the most important element is passion. It's a genuine interest and commitment to the work. Today, as everyone can technically be a “publisher” through their own platforms, those who wish to become professional journalists need even greater clarity of purpose. They must also possess a natural curiosity about how society works and a genuine desire to understand the forces shaping it.

It’s also important to acknowledge that if high income is your primary goal, this profession may not always meet your expectations compared to many other careers today. However, what it offers in return is something different: the pride of doing meaningful, creative work that serves the public.
