Nothing is off limits for Panu, who’s travelled to the most remote and dangerous terrains to ensure every side has been reported; whether that be during his time in Myanmar covering the events of the recent coup, to youth-led protests in Thailand. He currently splits his time fulfilling his role as the president of The Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Thailand and the Senior Correspondent of Reuters.
