Hi, I’m Ploykamol Suwantawit, or you can call me Ploy. I’m originally from Bangkok, Thailand, but I’m now based in London, UK. My work sits at the intersection of digital governance, political communication, and data‑driven research, and I’m committed to using these interests to contribute to thoughtful, evidence‑based conversations about technology and society.
When I was young, I always wanted to be a writer. But my mum disagreed with it because she thought it was a low-paid job (she’s totally not wrong). Luckily, I didn’t care much and kept following my dream until I got the chance to work as a freelance writer/journalist for one of the most popular online news outlets in Thailand.
During the pandemic, I moved back to Bangkok briefly to live with my family. We adopted a Shiba Inu puppy. His name is Keiji, and he is a very naughty boy.
While busy with Keiji, I received an unexpected job offer to work as a speechwriter for a well-known politician.
However, I decided to quit my job and return to Liverpool to resume my studies, as I want to become a researcher in the future. I don’t know if it is right, but I can say that I’m quite happy with my life 🙂
I’m currently based in London, where I’m working to establish my career and turn my academic passions into something that creates real value. After years immersed in research, writing, and understanding how digital technologies shape society, I’m now focused on applying that knowledge to make a tangible difference.
