Vichol Limpattanachart is a young Thai student webmaster I met at Nation Junior Magazine when I went to pick up the prize for Website Designer. He got a special prize called "Judges Favourite". In my eyes, he is a good, smart boy. He learns very quick and seems to like computers a lot. I invited him to my school so I could teach him some new things. His English is very good. Even though we are both Thai, he kept speaking in English to me!
