Feeling towards Ektra :
      Sarasas Ektra School is like a big family in which teachers are always attentive and teach students closely. Even the Director himself cares about students as well. Friends, senior and junior students, are very close. Friends since Ektra Primary are still close and concerned for each other until now.

Pride while studying at Ektra :
           Academic – Received certificate of studying well in every Semester. Completed Lower Secondary with GPA 3.90 Activities – Received award from Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Jakri Sirindhorn (rank at that time) in Drawing. Participated in Chorus, also basketball at year level, competing with Sarasas Affiliated Schools and in School sports.

Impressions while studying at Ektra :
           Teachers were very attentive to students. They were strict in many things. As children we felt they were too strict, but as we grew up this strictness built our self-discipline and ability to organise.
           Aside from the academic areas and English language, the school always supported activities and increased various competencies in areas such as third language, sports, music and clubs that would help us to know quicker which areas we liked and had skills in.

Things received from studying at Ektra :
           English communication skills like speaking, listening, writing, and grammar have been very useful since studying at the university until working.

Work path & Experiences :
           I first started working in Thailand. My first job was with Agoda when only some people knew Agoda. I have worked here for over 12 years. Initially I worked as Market Executive in charge of the Hotel market in Hong Kong and Macau. In my second year I was responsible for Hotels in Thailand, which are now the number one market of Agoda at that moment, until I became the Team Leader and moved to the Tokyo office for two years. I was in charge of Tokyo and Kanto region, and then became the Regional Manager in charge of the market in Cambodia, Laos and Myanmar. In my current position as Associate Director I am responsible for the Thailand Market.

Ideas for young students :
           You should gain a lot of experience both from studying and the current activities you are engaged in at school. These things are useful for you in your future and if you know which one you like and are good at it, then try to do your best.
