With over a decade of experience in journalism, Saksith’s reporting provides insightful and in-depth coverage of Thailand's complex and often tumultuous political scene, as well as the latest economic and social developments in this Southeast Asian country. He has covered major events in Thailand such as the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej in 2016, the 2018 Tham Luang Cave Rescue, the general elections in 2019 and 2023, and the 2020-21 anti-government protests.
