Co-founders
Asst.Prof.Dr. Padtheera Narkurairattana
A scholar who is interested in Thai political conflict and realizes that conflict in every corner of Thai society results from a social and political culture where cultural violence and censorship is embedded. Padtheera believes that a “Dialogue Process” is the primary tool for restoring friendship and supportive and compassionate relationships that allow differing views with attention, argument and mutual tolerance even of different perspective. It is a process that can heal and cure the long-term and deep-rooted wounds in Thai society.

His specializations are conflict transformation, collaborative decision-making, communication across differences, and transformational coaching. Chanchai shifted from a computer engineering student to peace studies, hate speech researcher, and conflict transformation practitioner.
He has for more than 15 years worked both in public and social conflict (e.g. ethno-religious conflict in the southern provinces of Thailand and in Myanmar as well as the Thai political conflict, etc.) and organizational conflict (top executives, managers, cross-levels and cross-departments).
