added the guest lecturer at Thammasat University.

Digital Tourism Platform introduced by Kasikornbank will further boost
the “pink economy”.
“LGBT people have purchasing power and also tend to be creative,” he
said. “Our new Big Data platform will provide information about all
target groups, including LGBTQ. They can easily select destinations,
activities and services designed specially for them and book online.
