Piyawat: What Education Made Possible

Piyawat’s story shows what consistent educational support can make possible. As a Scholarship Programme alumnus, he speaks about his journey through study and training, what kept him motivated, and what he hopes to achieve next.

Chutima Thawanpreeda

(Scholarship 2018–2023)


Graduated 2023: Bachelor of Education in Community Development

Chutima came from an area with diverse ethnic minority communities, each with distinct languages and traditions. Supported throughout her studies, she completed her degree and gained practical experience. Her goal was to bring what she learned back home by expanding learning opportunities for younger children and helping strengthen pathways to education for the next generation.

Aunchernpond

(Scholarship 2018–2023)


Graduated 2023: Bachelor of Education in Community Development

Aunchernpond came from a mountain village where education opportunities were limited. She chose community development because she wanted to support children’s learning, especially for those facing language barriers in Thai reading, writing, and communication. With consistent scholarship support, she completed her five-year degree and hoped to use her skills to build children’s confidence and foundations for the future.

Arisa Pakdeekunnatum

(Scholarship 2018–2022)


Graduated: 2022, Bachelor of Arts in Geo-Culture Management, Bodhivijjalaya College, Srinakharinwirot University (BCSWU)


Arisa is from Tak Province in Northern Thailand, where many families rely on monocrop farming and there are limited opportunities beyond agriculture. In her own family, financial pressures meant that most of her siblings were unable to complete school. Those experiences shaped Arisa’s belief that children in her village should have more options and fair access to higher education.

After graduation, Arisa hoped to return home to support community development. Her long-term goal is to build trust within her community and work alongside organisations that can help improve local quality of life, while also sharing and celebrating hill tribe culture.


“I want to develop my community after graduation. I want to share my knowledge with community members to help develop our communities and share our hill tribe culture with others.”

Piyawat Chotiwetphatcharakul

(Scholarship 2017–2025)


Graduated: Automotive Technology Programme, Chiang Mai Technical College


Piyawat grew up in a remote mountain area where poverty and limited opportunities made continuing education uncertain. His parents separated when he was young, and he was raised by his grandparents, taking on responsibilities at home alongside his studies.


Piyawat completed his studies with a clear vision for the future. In the short term, he aimed to gain additional hands-on experience and continue building confidence in his abilities. His long-term ambition is to establish his garage in Mae Hong Son, where he hopes to offer accessible vehicle maintenance services to his community.


He also expressed a keen interest in expanding his knowledge in the areas of electric vehicles, new car technologies, and advanced engine repair, a reflection of his desire to stay current in a rapidly evolving industry.
