Tell us about yourself before you become an editor of Yes! Magazine.

I am originally from Trang province. I came to Bangkok to continue study high school when I finished grade 9. I was lucky to pass entrance exam and study in Faculty of Architecture at Chulalongkorn University as I wish. After graduated I worked for a while then went the US to pursue a master's degree in Architecture. Studying there was a great experience because it made me realized what I really like.

Did you return to Thailand right away?

While studying master's degree I also taught computer design at my school but after graduated I worked for an architectural firm in Denver. I don't think I'm talented person but if I work on what something that I really like, I'm willing to give it a 110 percent. My boss liked my skills and determination, so he offered me a long-term contract. Unfortunately, my dad was very sick so I had to come back to Thailand.

When I returned, I went back to Trang right away. I intended to settle there and open an architecture office. However, a prominent professor I know from my bachelor years called and asked me to help establishing the Faculty of Architecture at Thammasat University. I had experience in teaching computer aided design, so I decided to join the crew.

After becoming a lecturer at Thammasat, many architectural departments invited me to teach; therefore, I also taught at Chulalongkorn, Bangmod and Kasem Bundit. Besides, I also had computer graphics jobs and designs. I enjoyed teaching but after doing the same thing for four years I realized that I wouldn't be able to do what I really dream of.

Lately I just love writing. I started writing about architectural stuffs and then expanded to short-story. Not long after I compiled my short stories and published as a book. So people started to recognize me as a writer and teacher.

What motivates you to create YES! Magazine?

I always think that youth, especially youth out side of Bangkok, do not receive enough information about career paths and goals. Some youth only knows that they want to pass the entrance exam and study in university level but they don't know what they can do afterwards. I think this is a pity because four years in university suppose to be fruitful. If they do not fully understand their career goals and the reasons they are studying, they are wasting both time and resources. Nowadays, I believe a lot of youth are losing their directions. Sometimes they just forget their goals and dreams because they don't know how to achieve them. Simply they just don't know where to get information. Yes! Magazine aims to fulfill this gap.
