Sarinee Achavanuntakul
A financier by training, Sarinee Achavanuntakul is currently a writer and independent academic who tries to regularly publicize new developments in social enterprises and "humane capitalism" via her personal blog at http://www.fringer.org and various publications including http://www.onopen.com and Prachachat Turakij newspaper. She also teaches an undergraduate course called "Business and Society" every year as adjunct professor at Thammasat University's Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy.
As independent academic, Sarinee has written a number of academic papers covering issues in the Thai capital markets, including "Capital Allocation in Thai Economy under Globalization" (with professor Kittichai Sae-lee) for Thammasat University, and "The Use of Nominees in the Stock Exchange of Thailand" for Thailand Development Research Institute (TDRI). Sarinee's final position in her former career as investment banker was Executive Director at Hunters Advisory, a boutique local financial advisory firm. Prior to that role, between 2003 and 2006, she worked in Corporate Finance and Corporate Strategy departments at SCB Securities Co. Ltd., a local investment bank.

Angkrit Ajchariyasophon
Angkrit Ajchariyasophon is a visual artist. He graduated from the Faculty of Fine Arts, Chiang Mai University. After graduation, he decided to go to Europe and stay there for six months in the hopes that he would be modernized and westernized. However, it did not work out as he planned (he thought that it must be because of his yellow skin).
Disappointed, he headed back to his hometown. Nonetheless, he remained excited to see foreigners do yoga or meditation; subsequently, he made an effort once more to become a perfect English gentleman.
He now lives in Chiang Rai and owns a Chinese restaurant. He still studies English from fairy tales he reads his son, wishing that one day he would eventually become a true Westerner in both body and soul, so that he could become and ordained Western monk who practices yoga and meditation full-time in the last years of his life.

M.L. Prinyakorn Voravan
M.L. Prinyakorn Voravan is one among those very few who dedicate their life to wild life photography.
He has been in the wilderness taking those pictures of wild animals and their nature home for more than 20 years.

Supachai Ketkaroonkul
Supachai Ketkaroonkul graduated from the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication majoring in Film from Thammasat University. His black-and-white portraits are important parts for Open Magazine in its beginning phrase. The beauty he conveys through his lens is raw but not savage. It is documentary reality coated with poetic tenderness.
Supachai left Bangkok for Paris years ago to further his master education. When finished, he flied back home and still works as a photographer.

Chaipong Kittinaradorn
Chaipong Kittinaradorn graduated from the Faculty of Law, Thammasat University. He began his career at the International Red Cross and later switched to private businesses. He is now operating an apartment business in Bangkok.
Despite changes in his professions, photography remains his steady “amateur” work. Starting with colour negatives, he later moved to slide film and eventually was drawn to black and white photography. To fulfil his imaginary vision, he started to add colours onto black and white photographs. Now he is heading the budding hand-coloured black and white photography movement in Thailand.
Chaipong also taught photography at Sripatum University and exhibited hand-coloured black and white photographs at Viengtavern Gallery in Bangkok as well as many universities in the south of Thailand. He co-founded Black and White Rhapsodies Group (www.bwfoto.net) and recently photographed for Integral Buddha: The Life of Buddhasa Bhikku written by Suvinai Pornavalai which tells a story of Buddhasa Bhikku – a highly revered Buddhist monk whose zen-like teaching is admired and followed by wide audience.
His wife, Kasama, is a Thai medical doctor and handicraft exporter. His elder son, Chitpong, is a technology-oriented social developer working with the Thai Rural Net Insititute (TRN) and Thai Health Promotion Foundation. Rakpong, the youngest son, is an International Astronomy Olympiad winner and is now studying physics at Mahidol University in Bangkok. The family members meet up every week to share their stories, lives and passion.

Wisut Ponnimit
Wisut Ponnimit is a "manga artist," a label so unusual and unique in Thailand that it has made him one of the most extraordinary icons of his generation. hesheit, the title of the manga series that brought attention to Wisutwas published monthly in a day magazine for over 5 years. Some have called his manga "arty" and "philosophical" because of its often radical and profound contents.
Wisut went to Japan in 2003 in order to learn more about manga in the environment where manga was created. His works caught the attention of the Japanese audience in less than three months and within about one year Wisut, at the age of 28, became the first Thai manga artist ever to have his work published and distributed in Japan by a Japanese publisher. The book is called Everybodyeverything, a collection of short comics originally published in Thai publications. Everybodyeverything is also published in Thailand by Typhoon Books. Since then he has been a regular Typhoon Books writer.
Banana Yoshitomo, the internationally acclaimed Japanese author said this about Wisut’s work: "I think (Wisut’s) beautiful spiritscan offer warmth to the exhausted minds of Japan."
He is working on more books, animations, and installations. His big goal is to make a feature length anime.
