As part of the Social
Engineering project in collaboration
with the Wat Maklua community, Village
No. 4, the issue of kratom consumption
was identified. To highlight the
immediate dangers of kratom in the
community, educational materials were
created, titled "Kratom: A Herbal
Drink…or an Addictive
Substance?" These materials
illustrate the problems faced by kratom
users, their impact on families and the
community. Kratom, while seemingly
harmless, is actually more dangerous and
closer than anticipated. The Advertising
and Marketing Communication program,
Faculty of Communication Arts, Suan
Sunandha Rajabhat University, in
collaboration with the Wat Maklua
community, the Phutthamonthon Police
Station, and the Phutthamonthon Public
Health Department, Nakhon Pathom
Province, organized a training session
on the dangers of kratom in the
community. The event took place at the
Wat Maklua School meeting room on March
9, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
Associate Professor Isaree Pairaoh, Head
of the Advertising and Marketing
Communication program and project
advisor, oversaw this Social Engineering
project.
