Dr.Napat is also the Managing Director at ThailandFuture, a social enterprise with a mission to catalyze a broad-based movement towards a more inclusive, data-driven, and forward-looking policy process in areas most critical to the future prospects of Thailand.

For IRL friends, Dr. Napat's first book, “ATADIA,” will be available in September 2022 (hugely delayed sorry). Atadia is about how to think, be, and thrive in the age of algorithms. The book combines both fictional stories and non-fiction that provides insights into 12 dimensions of issues in our economy and society in 12 chapters. For Web3 friends, enjoy Atadia :)
