PHICHIT: -- A MATHAYOM 3 student won a 67-square wah plot of land from an essay contest in Phichit province.

Naris Sangwari, former school director of Banna School in Wachira Baramee district, last month launched the essay contest about being a good person for students to compete for the land, worth Bt500,000, near Sam Ngam district police station.

Naris said the contest attracted as many as 600 essay applicants from all over the province and the contest committee took one month to select 33 finalists; four university students, 21 Mathayom students and eight primary students. The name of the winner - Sirapat "Nong Somjeed" Traiyuttharong, from Phichit Phitayakhom School - was picked from a draw of the 33 finalists at Phichit City Hall yesterday.

Sirapat said that she was so happy to win the land for her four-page essay, which narrates her daily routine of doing good deeds and her future plans.

She said she would keep the land for her children and she thanked "the kind adults who promoted the good behaviour of Thai youths".

Fence it in young lady or someone will encroach on your land.

It's a good plot, it's about 1km from where I teach but non of my students entered the contest as non of their Thai teachers told them about the contest.

And Maybe she should rent it out to start with as she is still in secondary school!

A cynical post questioning the selection process and the political/social standing of the winner's father was removed by myself.

hope daddy will not gamble it away, being her legal gardian ...

would not surprise me a bit in this land of "thai" buddism

Well done kid! You did your parents proud:)
