As the founder of Watiwisan Foundation, Wahawisan has dedicated over 40 years to creating opportunities for youth, restoring nature, and fostering sustainable communities in Thailand.

Integrating Business Leadership with Environmental Stewardship
Wahawisan’s journey from corporate boardrooms to leading environmental and community-focused initiatives has allowed him to offer a rare perspective on leadership.

As part of his commitment to sustainability, Wahawisan has spearheaded multiple tree-planting initiatives and environmental programs through his foundation, helping restore ecosystems and build a greener future for Thailand. His work reflects a growing global movement towards environmental consciousness and the need for organizations and leaders to take proactive steps in protecting the planet.
Nobel Peace Prize Nomination Reflects Global Recognition
One of the highlights of Wahawisan’s illustrious career came in 2025 when he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize by the World Harmony Foundation, an NGO affiliated with the United Nations Environment Programme. This prestigious nomination acknowledges his life’s work in advancing youth education, environmental restoration, and community development—efforts that have brought meaningful change to countless lives in Thailand.
“I believe that leadership should serve the greater good,” says Wahawisan. “It is not about personal accolades or titles; it is about making a lasting difference in the lives of others and the world around us. A nation grows when its young people grow—protect them, guide them, and give them a planet worth inheriting.”
This recognition not only highlights Wahawisan’s dedication but also positions the Watiwisan Foundation as a beacon of hope for youth empowerment and environmental justice on a global scale.
