Jon Ungpakorn

Jon Ungpakorn (Thai จอน อึ๊งภากรณ์, born September 19 1947, London) is a Thai non-governmental organization (NGO) executive and member of the Senate of Thailand. He is a brother of Ji Ungpakorn, and is of Thai and British parentage. His father was the revered Dr. Puey Ungpakorn and his mother was the former Margaret Smith of London.

In 2000 Jon Ungpakorn was elected to the Senate with the support of the NGO and HIV/AIDS communities.

In 2005 he was awarded with the Magsaysay Award for Governmental Services, exactly 40 years after his father Puey Ungpakorn won the award.
