Thana Boonlert

I am a multimedia journalist for the Bangkok Post, covering a wide range of social and cultural issues from gentrification and sustainability to arts and countermovement. Previously, I reported politics, foreign affairs, and other general news topics. My overseas assignments include Cambodia, Nepal, Japan, Singapore, China, the US, Australia, and Bangladesh (in chronological order).

I enjoy writing feature stories and taking photos, though I used to make short videos, cohost a news talk, and broadcast street protests in late 2020. I am trying my hand at data, learning how to scrape the web and use exploratory data analysis.

I am an alumni of the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) in which a group of journalists from the region met with their counterparts in Washington DC, Missouri, and Wisconsin. I studied literature at University College London and Chulalongkorn University.
