He was already 17 years olds when he started to read and write the alphabet on his own.  He decided to devote his life to other, so that they motivation, he  was recognized and decorated by the Royal palace and awarded an honorary doctorate by a university in the united states.

     When Thailand experienced a servers downturn of economy in 1997, causing many economic, societal and family problems, including joblessness in the industrial sector which had a great impact on families, their works, and especially children. Millions of people were left without works, thousands of families had return to their home village to make a living. This especially affected the children who are the basis of the future of the country.
