Jonas Christiaen

Bangkok Patana School

Hello everyone! My name is Jonas Christiaen (he/they) and I am THAIMUN’s biggest (and only?) self-proclaimed nerd. I am currently in Year 12 in Bangkok Patana School (or in my Junior year for all you Americans out there) and I am honoured to be in the same THAIMUN X secretariat with the great likes of Jeremy Kim, Sara P. Landry and Lil Jun. I also play the guitar and have a passion for music.

This is my 5th year in the MUN community, and unlike Jeremy (and very much so like Sara) I have not yet attended 22 conferences. This is why we stan Jeremy. Other than being a secretariat for THAIMUN X, I am also a secretariat in the BPS MUN club and BKKMUN 2023. My first MUN conference was truly inspiring and is likely similar to many others’: The delegate of the USA wanted to nuke the entire world. So naturally, I loved it and continued to do MUN ever since.

MUN has truly widened my social circle, as I have gotten to know all these wonderful people, like Kush in THAIMUN IX (where you may remember me as the guy who hired an illiterate assassin or alternatively the guy who bribed the Pope).

I truly believe that THAIMUN has the best of both worlds: Serious learning about the world and diplomacy and the questionable ideas that people can create when they work together which often leads to friendship. I do not hesitate for one second that THAIMUN X will be nothing short of amazing, given the team behind all of it (I <3 you guys, even you Sara).

I look forward to seeing you all soon, and please do not hesitate to contact me, whether it be to ask about MUN things or just to chat! (Conversation topic: the Galactic Republic were never good)

Jun ishihara

Bangkok Patana School

Hello everyone! My name is Jun and I am a Y12 student at Bangkok Patana School. This year I have been bestowed with the great opportunity to work with Jeremy, Jonas, Sara and the rest of the SMC group to organise this 400 person conference and safe to say, I am terrified and excited.

Although I may be an underachiever compared to Jeremy Kim, our great Secretary-General, my love for MUN remains unchallenged ever since the very moment that I was nuked by North Korea during my first real life conference. While I haven’t organised a MUN conference before, I am confident that the 10th THAIMUN will be one for the record books and one that will leave a lasting impression on all delegates, chairs and alike (afterall, I’m the one organising it /s). I wholeheartedly believe that MUN is FUN and THAIMUN X will certainly be no exception.

MUN has single handedly expanded my social circle to the point where I wake up to 250+ messages from the THAIMUN chairs group chat daily (seriously some of you need a better sleep schedule) and I’ve built countless friendships just from meeting people at conferences. Not only that, I’ve developed significant communication and leadership skills from debates where I’m trying to keep myself and my country alive. This is why I strongly encourage all delegates to have fun and be confident and we, the Secretariat, will ensure that we’ll organise a unforgettable conference where you’ll gain new experiences.

If you ever want to get in contact with me for any questions or just for a nice chat please feel free to contact me through my email juis24@patana.ac.th or alternatively my instagram @juunish.

I look forward to seeing you all soon in March!
