When one thinks of a researcher, we usually picture a man hovered over something like an elephant tusk, analyzing it but then keeping it contained within the academic elite. Dr. Somkiat is the anti-thesis of the image above. He works with both the elite and the ordinary people. He understands the value of working with the general public and strives to publish valuable information that can improve lives or increase knowledge on a certain subject. Dr. Somkiat gives people the opportunity to understand and participate in the country’s developmental policies. There is no doubt that Dr. Somkiat is an expert on not just trade, but international investment, education reform, and many more topics.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBangkok, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBangkok event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Learn more about TEDx at TEDx Talks.
