"Always keep learning and be kind in everything you do."

  Growing up in the migrant community of Mae Sot, Phon Chai always had a passion for photography. Capturing moments through the lens brought him joy and a sense of purpose. However, turning this passion into a career seemed like a distant dream. Everything changed when he joined the Vocational Education Training Batch-3 of the Media Training Course under the Rays of Youth Vocational Education Training Program. The program provided him with professional skills, hands-on experience, and the confidence needed to pursue his dream.

           With the knowledge and training he received, Phon Chai secured a position as a Photographer at Play Book Foundation and also work as freelance photographer. Every day, he applies the skills he learned, refining his craft and growing as a professional. Currently, he could provide his family with  the income made by himself. Thus, Phon Chai’s mother always gratitude to The Rays of Youth and donar for supporting his son to achieve such a great success. His journey from an aspiring photographer to a working professional is a testament to his dedication and the impact of vocational education.

          Looking ahead, Phon Chai’s ultimate goal is to establish his own photo studio. He is deeply grateful to the teachers and donors who supported and guided him throughout his journey. Thanks to their encouragement, he now stands on his own, building a future he once only dreamed of. His story is a powerful example of how education and opportunity can transform lives.
