Mr. Som Morokot said that he did not go to the university like others, he only read books about "Information Technology". "At that time, after my father left (passed away), I have nobody to support my study, which is why I decided to drop out of school and my mother suggested that I should become a monk." After being ordained a monk, he worked hard to learn and understand about new technology and Information Technology. So he began to understand and learn from it. Mr. Morokot added, "From the beginning, I have never studied with a teacher in this Social Media and Information Technology field. I only study on YouTube and Google."
