Please tell us what you have been doing since you attended HRAP

After HRAP, I came back to Thailand and started this organization that works to promote human rights of those seen by Thai public as 'the others' : refugees, migrant workers, indigenous peoples, especially those on Thai-Burma/Myanmar border and those from Burma/Myanmar in Thailand. 

Did HRAP influence your work? If yes, how did it influence it?

Experiences from HRAP have been contributing to my work since 1999 until present.

What is your fondest HRAP memory?

Night talk with all the friends!!!  We talked about work, life, human rights issues and HRAP.
