JOURNALISM

I am a Thai video journalist who spent 10 years working for Reuters and NBC In Southeast Asia. I covered major stories including the aftermath of the tsunami that ravaged Southeast Asia and killed more than 220,000 people in 2004, and the Saffron revolution protests in Myanmar in 2007, when I posed as a tourist to film exclusive footage. In 2008, I travelled again to Myanmar to cover the humanitarian disaster caused by Cyclone Nargis, until I was deported.  In 2011, I joined NBC News and covered the wedding of Bhutanese King Jigme Wangchuk and the first Myanmar elections. I became a global story myself in 2016 when 20 police raided my home in Bangkok and detained me for questioning about breaking Thailand’s lese majeste law. 

Here are some of the stories I worked on for NBC.

New Era of Rock and Hip Hop in Myanmar – I helped produced this feature for NBC after Aung San Suu Kyi was released from house arrest. The younger generation in Myanmar was using hip hop music to express their political aspirations.
Thamkrabok Monastery – I produced, filmed, edited and scripted this story about Thailand’s Thamkrabok Monastery — an unlikely drug rehabilitation center that has won a worldwide reputation as a place that provides harsh but effective addiction treatment. 
Where In The World Is Matt Later 2011? – I worked closely with the US producers to organise local events ahead of Matt Lauer arriving in Kuala Lumpur. I helped prepare the local production, and organised guests.
