I have spent much of my professional life building online communities, digital-media businesses and internet projects in Thailand — from founding ThaiVisa.com in 2002 to working across technology, television, publishing and digital marketing.
The short version
From the early web to today’s AI era.
I became involved with internet and media projects when the commercial web was still young. In Thailand, that interest led to ThaiVisa.com: a small information page that grew into a large expat forum and news platform and was later renamed ASEAN NOW.
My work since then has crossed technology, online publishing, digital advertising, television, e-learning, community building and business development.
