Gui Paphorn
Treasurer & Head of Indigenous Outreach
Hello, I'm Gui, a member of the Karen tribe! The Karen people are a tribal people that inhabit what is now Myanmar, Thailand, and Laos, but unfortunately we are stateless and most of us can't obtain citizenship, get a passport, or travel internationally. Thankfully, the Thai government was kind enough to grant me citizenship which gives me the freedom to participate in such a unique organization as IMARCS!
As an indigenous people, we greatly depend on the natural environment for our day-to-day life, whether that's ocean, land, or a combination of the two, so I'm very happy to be working with an organization that is taking a holistic approach to conservation.
I hold a degree in business from Ratchaburi University.
