Thepparith (Teejay) Senamngern
Founder & CEO, Ad Astra Asia
At Ad Astra Asia, we don’t just offer training—we create customized, immersive learning experiences that address the unique challenges of every client. My team and I have worked with leading multinational corporations, financial institutions, government agencies, and academic institutions across Thailand, China, Singapore, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, South Korea, and beyond. Our expertise spans finance, education, energy, technology, transportation, telecommunications, and consumer goods.
A Global Perspective & Proven Track Record
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with business leaders, educators, policymakers, and industry experts to drive meaningful change, foster innovation, and develop high-impact training programs. One of my proudest achievements is the opportunity to train over 70,000 students and mentor more than 2,000 teachers across various disciplines, including STEM education, leadership development, and communication skills. By empowering the next generation of leaders and educators, I strive to create a long-lasting ripple effect that extends beyond classrooms and boardrooms.
In addition to education, I have worked closely with leading corporations and financial institutions to design and deliver executive training programs that drive real transformation. Organizations such as Krungthai Bank, Airports of Thailand (AOT), PTT Group, Bangchak Petroleum, and the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) have entrusted me with developing strategic programs that help their leadership teams navigate change, implement innovation, and enhance business growth. These collaborations have allowed me to shape the leadership landscape in industries ranging from finance and energy to infrastructure and technology.
My passion for higher education and academic excellence has led me to work with some of the world’s most prestigious universities. I have had the honor of partnering with institutions such as Cornell University, Stanford University, Chulalongkorn University, and SolBridge International School of Business, serving as a professor, visiting lecturer, and education consultant. Through these roles, I have helped develop specialized curricula, design innovative learning methodologies, and mentor future leaders in business, management, and entrepreneurship.
Beyond corporate and academic engagements, I have also played a key role in bridging Thailand and China’s education sectors, facilitating cross-border collaborations and international student recruitment initiatives. By supporting policy development for higher education institutions, I have contributed to strengthening bilateral educational ties, opening new opportunities for students, universities, and industry leaders.
Additionally, my expertise has been sought by government agencies and policymakers to provide strategic insights on education, workforce development, and national innovation policies. As an advisor to the Standing Committee on Science, Technology, Research, and Innovation for the 26th House of Representatives of Thailand, I have helped shape policies that enhance Thailand’s competitiveness in the global economy, ensuring that education and innovation remain at the forefront of national development.
Championing Global Debate & Thought Leadership
Debate has played a significant role in my personal and professional journey. With over 20 years of experience in competitive debating, adjudication, and tournament convening, I have had the honor of hosting and organizing some of the world’s largest and most prestigious debate tournaments, including:
28th World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC) – King Rama IX Cup
Hosted in Thailand, this tournament welcomed more than 1,500 participants from over 150 universities across 50+ countries. The champions were awarded the King Rama IX Cup, a prestigious honor recognizing His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej’s commitment to education and intellectual excellence.
40th World Universities Debating Championship (WUDC) – King Rama X Cup
Held at Assumption University in Bangkok, this event gathered over 1,200 debaters from 250+ institutions worldwide. It coincided with the coronation of His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn (King Rama X), and the champions received the King Rama X Cup, highlighting Thailand’s long-standing commitment to global discourse.
World Schools Debating Championships (WSDC) – Queen’s Cup
I have had the privilege of hosting two WSDCs in Thailand, where the competition brought together the brightest high school debaters from over 70 national teams. These events were endorsed by Her Majesty the Queen of Thailand, with the champions receiving the prestigious Queen’s Cup, further strengthening Thailand’s role in promoting debate, diplomacy, and youth leadership on a global scale.
These championships are more than just competitions—they are platforms for leadership, diplomacy, and the exchange of ideas. Through debate, we cultivate critical thinking, persuasive communication, and cross-cultural understanding, skills that are invaluable in today’s world.
