The Makhampom Theatre Group is into its 5th decade of practice, having grown out of Thailand's pro-democracy movement of the 1970s, into one of Asia's leading theatre organisations. The group is a collective of creatives, trained in theatre performance and workshop facilitation, applying a diversity of arts-based programs in communities, schools, conflict areas, and for the general public. Makhampom has transformed into an umbrella organisation and facilitator for emerging artists and civil society, part of a new movement transforming Thai society.
Makhampom Art Space
​
The Makhampom Art Space, started by Pongjit and Richard in 2004, was developed by Makhampom into a hub for a community-based practice and social enterprise model in Chiang Dao in northern Thailand. This saw two-decades working with the stateless dara'ang Pang Daeng village and the Makhampom Study Tour alongside trainings, exchanges, performances, and festivals. Post-Covid, the space has been regenerated as a public space for local creatives alongside its hosting and training role.
The Makhampom Art Space is available to host in Thailand
