When it comes to Thailand''s rules and regulations on clean air, Dr Kanongnij, or Ajarn Noi as she is known, should be considered one of the most influential voices to be found. A law graduate with degrees from Harvard, US, and the University of Nantes, France, she is currently an associate professor at the Faculty of Law, Chulalongkorn University, while simultaneously advocating and educating citizens on the right to access clean air. As a result of the PM2.5 issue a few years back, she founded the Thailand Clean Air Network comprising doctors, economists, lawyers, scientists, and social activists to advocate for policy change, with the belief that the current generation must not abrogate its responsibility to look out for the needs of future generations. Systematic change can make for slow progress, hence Ajarn Noi accepts the simplest advice given which is to be patient. She continuously searches for creative methods to support her ecological vision such as working with the media, civil society and labour unions to put appropriate pressure on the pundits and politicians who need to hear her message. While dedicating herself to these crucial causes, Ajarn Noi nonetheless makes time for the happiness she finds in singing and painting.
