Pinnapa Intamara: Redefining the Modern CEO Who Understands Gen Z

Pinnapa Intamara built Savvy Way into a 30-million-baht annual business by rejecting traditional management, instead leading through trust and performance demands that resonate with Gen Z workers. The CEO credits strategic career planning a

14 May Khaosod

Pinnapa Intamara, known as "Toon," represents a new breed of CEO who chooses to understand rather than control, exemplifying modern leadership as many organizations struggle with managing younger generations. Her journey from salaried employee to owner of Savvy Way—a business generating around 30 million baht annually—wasn't based on luck but on careful life planning that began at age 15.

Facing a family crisis at 15, with her parents separating and her mother becoming disabled, Pinnapa had to become her sole caregiver while in secondary school. This early hardship taught her that "being a salaried employee alone isn't enough to survive," prompting her to create a deliberate life timeline including education choices and career planning to eventually become a business owner.

Rather than viewing work solely as income, Pinnapa saw it as opportunity. She strategically worked in the public sector under the Ministry of ICT and later at ThaiBev, recognizing that knowledge and connections were worth more than a salary. She meticulously learned everything from office organization to excellence standards, preparing for her future.

At 29, Pinnapa raised 1 million baht to launch Savvy Way, recovering her investment within a year. Unlike typical event companies, Savvy Way positions itself as a "strategic partner" working upstream with organizations like NIA, ETDA, and DEPA on policy-focused, research-driven projects. This "blue ocean" strategy helped the company not just survive crises but thrive.

As both CEO and lecturer at Thailand's leading universities for over seven years, Pinnapa understands Generation Z deeply. Her management philosophy is simple but powerful: "Give space, but demand performance." Her office has no fixed arrival times; teams can relax if goals are met. However, substandard work receives direct, serious feedback. "Young employees respect us and guard the freedom they're given by working their best," she explains.

Pinnapa transforms the traditional "boss" role into a "consultant" relationship. She invites team members to challenge her, admits her own mistakes, and views employees as "customers." She believes that when you take care of people, business results naturally follow.

With 80% of her clients being government agencies, Pinnapa serves as a "bridge" between the rigid bureaucratic system and modern business approaches—a CEO navigating between the old and new worlds.

Kanchai Believes Healing Takes Time: Reveals Details About Nai Naphatt and Mae Moo's Girlfriend, Addresses Sai Scott Issue

Kanchai denies orchestrating family drama with Nai Naphatt and Mae Moo, urging the public not to judge the situation as ungrateful behavior without knowing all facts. He also weighed in on the Sai Scott controversy, calling it either a dome

14 May Khaosod

Kanchai attended the launch of PULZAR engine oil products at Park Hyatt Bangkok's Ballroom (B1) and opened up about two major issues: the family drama involving Nai Naphatt and Mae Moo Pim Phoka following the son's public statements about family relationships and apparent estrangement. Kanchai firmly denied being behind the scenes or influencing any decisions, and asked society not to hastily judge the situation as ungrateful behavior since not all facts are known. He also addressed the Sai Scott controversy, suggesting that if true, it represents a domestic violence case society should learn from, but if false, the other party should clarify the facts.

When asked if he consulted with the younger family member before he spoke publicly, Kanchai replied he couldn't answer that, explaining he doesn't want to overstep in such sensitive family matters. He acknowledged hearing about these issues over time but emphasized he knows both Mae Moo and Nai Naphatt and therefore couldn't give advice, leaving the decision to Nai Naphatt himself as an adult. Regarding the 2-3 year communication gap, Kanchai rejected the term "estrangement," viewing it instead as each person living their own life. He criticized calls labeling the younger man as ungrateful, stating such judgments are premature since the full situation remains unknown. He also criticized lawyer Songkran's public comments, noting he's not family and doesn't understand the full situation, potentially causing more pain. Finally, Kanchai mentioned he recently called Mae Moo to check on her wellbeing, and had gone shopping with Nai Naphatt without discussing these family issues.

Influencer Pond Chakrakrit Receives Charges After Woman Files Complaint

14 May Khaosod

On May 14, 2025, an influencer volunteer named Chakrakrit Tangwittaya, known as Pond, appeared at Ban Chang Police Station on May 13 with his lawyer Natthapong Poolkham to acknowledge charges of intimidation and harassment filed by a woman. Pond explained that he had called the complainant to inquire about removing names from his volunteer association's roster—which offers free corpse transportation services nationwide—and that this phone call allegedly frightened her, prompting her complaint. He claimed to have previously filed 2-3 cases against the same woman over insulting social media posts, but said those cases went nowhere, making him feel he was denied justice. Pond expressed suspicion that the complainant has influence, noting that when she filed against him, he was summoned quickly, whereas his complaints against her received no action. He stated the charge against him relates to conduct that harasses, intimidates, or causes distress to others, stemming from his August 17, 2024 phone call when he asked about removing villagers' names from the association roster before pursuing legal action. Police scheduled him for further interrogation, and he indicated he would consult with his lawyer on next steps.

At 3:00 AM on May 14, 2025, a Facebook content creator known as "Start Channel" with over 20,000 followers posted a video showing large numbers of black-chin tilapia discovered at Pattaya Beach, causing alarm among local fishermen, squid hunters, and tourists who gathered to witness the event.

Recently, local fishermen alerted him to a large school of black-chin tilapia in the area, so he attempted to use fish traps to help remove them.
