I am an internet entrepreneur, ThaiVisa.com founder and digital-media professional in Thailand. Since 2002, my work has crossed online communities, 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.

What I’m doing nowFeatured interview
The ThaiVisa story, in my own words.
In February 2026 I joined the Hua Hin Today Podcast for a long-form conversation about how ThaiVisa started, how it grew, and what changed as social media transformed online communities.
From the journal
It only took me thirty years to build my own website.
I have built platforms, communities and digital projects for other people. Somehow, the simplest project kept waiting: a proper place for my own story—and an email address that finally belongs to me.
