MSc student Earth and Environment
"I'm originally from Thailand. My life was once all about the jungle and wildlife from my bachelor study. I decided to change my study field to Hydrology after the severe floods and droughts in Thailand, and I'm now an MSc student doing my thesis in the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management Group of Wageningen University.
