Representatives from Assumption University of Thailand (AU) and the Thomas Aquinas School of Law paid a courtesy visit to Miss Sabida Thaiseth, also known by her nickname "Dida" (ดีด้า), Deputy Minister of Interior, at the Ministry of Interior in Bangkok. The occasion marked both the New Year 2025 and the celebration of her royal appointment as Deputy Minister.

Miss Sabida, a distinguished alumna of AU’s Bachelor of Laws Program (Batch 46), is a trailblazing Thai politician. She is the third member of her esteemed family to serve in successive Thai cabinets, following her father, Chada Thaiseth, Deputy Minister of Interior (2023–2024), and her aunt, Mananya Thaiseth, Deputy Minister of Agriculture (2019–2023). Her exceptional career, combined with her family’s legacy of public service, has made her a symbol of inspiration for young politicians and a source of pride for AU.

Dr. Norarit Sudsannguan, Dean of the Thomas Aquinas School of Law
Dr. Pattawee Sookhakich, Assistant Dean for Academic Affairs
M.R. Nanyasopark Swasdiwat, Program Director of the Bachelor of Laws Program

Mr. Aek Wonganant, Director of the Vice President for Legal and Privilege Affairs
Mr. Kitti Suwanna, Head of the Legal and Administration Services Department
Mr. Napatsadol Keattikun, Officer of the Legal and Administration Services Department

During the visit, heartfelt congratulations were extended to Deputy Minister Sabida for her outstanding achievements and contributions to society. Her Alma Mater expressed pride in her success and reaffirmed its commitment to nurturing future leaders who share her dedication and excellence.

The visit was undertaken under the direction of AU President, Rev. Bro. Sirichai Fonseka, f.s.g., Ph.D., who highlighted the importance of celebrating the accomplishments of AU alumni. Deputy Minister Sabida’s success exemplifies core values of AU—integrity, excellence, and service to society. She is an inspiration to our students and a testament to the transformative power of education.

Miss Sabida’s career serves as a powerful reminder of the impact of visionary leadership, and AU remains committed to nurturing future leaders who aspire to make meaningful contributions to society.
