Gorn Finished Year One at Payap!

← Back to The Next Step Gorn, a student at The Next Step

Gorn, 18, is of the Lahu tribe (the same tribe as Night, who is now working in Korea). He recently finished his first year in the Mechanics program at the technical-school branch of Payap University, a Christian-based school in Chiang Mai. Gorn is an enthusiastic young man who loves football and soccer, and is a hard worker: he put in long hours last summer holiday and saved up enough to buy a nifty new motorbike, a retro-classic 150cc model perfect for getting around the city.

Another trait of Gorn's is his love of shooting baskets on the house hoop, even if his unconventional two-handed form makes for some laughs while everyone tries to help him fix it. During the current summer holiday, Gorn has been helping his parents with farm work weeding around the coffee plants, with a short break for the Songkran water festival before heading back to the fields and, eventually, back to school.
