Amidst the backdrop of Northern Thailand’s rolling hills and expansive plateaus, a tale of innovation and social responsibility begins with a determined young student named Rawit Thamparanon, also known to his friends as Beam. As a senior at the prestigious Ruamrudee International School, Beam embarked on a journey that would not only capture his imagination but also steer him towards a path of altruistic entrepreneurship. As he traversed the verdant landscapes of the north, a striking contrast presented itself before his eyes: the rustic simplicity of the coffee plantations starkly juxtaposed against the polished, urban café scenes of Bangkok. This realisation ignited within Beam the resolve to forge a connection between the disparate worlds. Vowing to uplift and enhance the livelihoods of the coffee farmers, Beam set out to create a venture that would channel additional income into their deserving hands. The eureka moment came from an unlikely source—a fusion…

Songkhla’s sultry night was disrupted with a cauldron of activity as the beam of flashlights converged under a tarpaulin that concealed much more than goods. Tucked away in the back of a nondescript pickup truck, fifteen hopeful souls from the distant lands of Bangladesh sought new horizons. Their dreams of jobs in bustling Malaysia led them to a precarious hideaway on wheels, inching along the southward path of Asian Highway 2. The time was close to the bewitching hour of 11 p.m. when the ordinary-looking truck trundled through the tambon of Khuan Ru, within Rattaphum’s embracing borders, only to be halted by the practiced eyes of immigration police. The once quiet intersection blossomed into a scene of discovery as a diligent inspector, Pol Lt Col Phongsiri Phitak, unveiled the human cargo, each individual a story of determination and desperation.

As the dawn kissed the edges of a sleepy town, the reassuring quiet was shattered by the howling sirens and the crimson dance of emergency lights. The scene unfolding at the heart of Nam Cham subdistrict was not one of a usual serene night; no, it was one that would be etched into the memory of locals for days to come. Yet, in the midst of chaos and crackling timber, there came a silver lining—no lives were lost in the nocturnal conflagration that had consumed the local factory in Moo 10, a testament to the quick response and the community’s resilience. Let your imagination drift to roughly 10 p.m.—shop fronts are shuttered, streets are deserted, and households are drenched in silence. It was at this juncture that the local constabulary was spurred into action by the eruption of flames leaping from the skeletal frame of a once-mighty furniture factory. Not…

Imagine this: nestled in the bustling heart of Thailand, a survey ripples through the working class, revealing an unspoken truth—nearly half of these hardworking souls are staring at their future without a financial safety net. We’re talking about a hefty 49.3% of Thai workers who, when they hang up their boots and bid farewell to the workforce, might find their pockets despairingly empty. It’s an eye-opener, delivered by none other than Prof Wilert Puriwat, the esteemed dean of the Commerce and Accountancy faculty, on a sun-drenched Monday. “This paints a picture that’s anything but rosy,” Prof Wilert commented amidst the academic grandeur of the forum “National Policy for Financial Readiness”. It’s a gathering where the brightest minds contemplate the ticking clock of an ageing society.
