In 2008, Tha Wah was involved in the construction of 33 playgrounds. He then went on to work forChild's Dream, an NGO which supports marginalized children and youth in the Mekong Sub-Region. Five years since his first playground build, Tha Wah is still at it; building spaces for play as a part of his work with Child's Dream. Check outone of his latest playgrounds:

Tha Wah was the brainchild of the "Tha Wah Car," first built at the CDC school in Maesot, Thailand.
