"I look forward to our country having high-speed rail in the future," said Panutaya Kitima, President of the Chiang Rai Children and Youth Council, during a visit to the Thailand-China High-Speed Railway at the Asia-Pacific Youth Development Forum (APYDF) 2024 . Since the age of 15, Kitima has been dedicated to working with children and youth. The projects she leads are committed to unlocking the potential of children and young people. She hopes to implement reforestation projects that promote the philosophy of "children think, lead, and act, with adults providing support."
