Man Scores Top Marks In District Chief Exam
After failing twice over six years, Witsarut Norach finally passed Thailand's district chief exam this year with the nation's top score, earning the position he pursued while working as a local administrator in Mae Hong Son Province.
Witsarut Norach, nicknamed Tan and 29 years old, graduated with first-class honors from Chiang Mai University's Department of Politics and Administration, and holds a master's degree in public administration from the same institution. He currently works as a local administrator (skilled promotion officer) in Pai District, Mae Hong Son Province. Witsarut took the district chief officer exam three times over six years—in 2564, 2567, and 2569—before finally succeeding this year with the nation's top score. He described his initial doubts about where to start, what to study, and how to approach exam preparation. After failing twice, he nearly gave up but persevered. He now wants to share his experience with others attempting the same path, hoping to become the mentor he wished he had when starting out.
