 * Bachelor degree: The correct one is Modern languages.
 * The CMU ref mentioned that he has B.A. in comparative literature. https://library.cmu.ac.th/pinmala/doctor_detail.php?id=56&ayear=2549-2550 -
 * The CDES Newsletter (page 8) mentioned that he had B.A in "Modern Languages and Comparative Literature." https://issuu.com/ner-econ/docs/cdes_newsletter_vol_32
 * Emeritus Professor is not royally appointed for civillians. The MFU ref is wrong/inconsistent with other sources. Professorship is royally endorsed only once for civil servant in Thailand (unlike appointment of military officers to position of professor emeritus in Thai military schools). http://archives.mfu.ac.th/database/files/original/46d8d6643982400df705fe3896f17b8a.pdf
 * Honorary Vice President: All past Vice Presidents of "The International Federation for Modern Languages and Literatures (FILLM)" are listed as Honorary Vice President on the website: http://www.fillm.org/about/formerofficers.html
 * SEAMEO: There are several alternative names for it (SEAMEC: SEAMEO Council Conference, SEAMES: Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Secretariat). The current name for the organization is SEAMEO.  The use of the name SEAMES has been discontinued, now, it is referred to as SEAMEO Secretariat.
 * คู่มือการเสนอผลงานวิชาการ 22 รูปแบบ และวิธีการประเมิน ขอตําแหน่งวิชาการ สาขามนษุยศาสตร์ สังคมศาสตร์ ศิลปกรรม - The correct ISBN is 9789741116034. ISBN in the book is wrong.
 * จุดยืนของมนุษยศาสตร์ - The correct ISBN is 9786167787206. The website is wrong. http://www.combangweb.com/product/%E0%B8%88%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%94%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%B7%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%82%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%99%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%A9%E0%B8%A2/

Primary vs secondary sources
To help address WP:NPOV, we need to define what sources are close to subject matter or considered primary for this article.

For the purpose of this article, (primary) sources that are close to subject matter are mainly
 * Materials authored by the subject matter,
 * Materials published by Silpakorn University www.su.ac.th, and
 * Materials published by TRF Criticism Project https://www.thaicritic.com.

For the purpose of this article, we shall consider Royal Thai Government Gazette to be a (independent, reliable, secondary) neutral source. In the study of history, an article in the gazette is usually a primary source as it was created at the same time as the event. However, for the purpose of this article, we may consider the gazette to be government's newspaper written independently in a neutral official tone by a third party.
