Welcome to my world
“I want to go somewhere faraway. I wonder what it’d be like to vanish”
Activities
Basketball
My passion for basketball began in 2020 as I found a sport that I really loved. I regularly play pick-up games and play for a semi-professional league in Bangkok. I can play any position, although I prefer setting up others and making plays for my teammates. Basketball is a hobby that keeps me active and fit, and is just an all-around great competitive sport
Investments
I started investing at the age of 13, and made my first large earning at the age of 15. From then on I was financially independent, and with the starting capital that my father provided me with, I have built up a stock portfolio and am currently listed as the following:
- 7th largest shareholder of Chu Kai Group (SET: CRANE)
- 9th largest shareholder of Jubilee Enterprise (SET: JUBILE)
- 10th largest shareholder of JKN Global Media (SET: JKN)
Writing
My urge for travel during the Covid-19 Lockdown led me to fulfill my wanderlust on paper, and set to pen a long thrilling fantasy novel, following the adventures of protagonist Ausar Forrefin in a fantasy realm. I started writing my first novel “Away From Home” in 2020 and finished my second novel “A Trace to Hope” in 2022. Now I am currently writing my third novel “The Faraway Earths”
Songwriting
It all began with my love for poetry which inspired me to write a song based on my dreams - and the fear of waking up from a neverending fantasy. I wrote “Touch of Dawn” and had it released in May 2023, and have release another 2 songs since - “The Road” and “Days of May”.
Work
I had previously worked on 3 startups in the investments, cryptocurrency and retail field, and now I am currently serving as the Sales and Marketing Director in my family business.
After our factory took over a rivaling company and the old export manager left, I was thrust into the role, and despite many doubts and fears, did surprisingly well. In my first year I doubled the monthly sales revenue and increased the net weight of cast sheets sold from 200 MT to 400 MT per month
Currently my work involves managing the export and local sales team, communicating with customers and traveling overseas to open new markets. I also help in planning the production bloc and managing the AI program for both factories
