If you've ever considered living and working in Thailand, you've likely searched online for advice. Often, these searches lead to repetitive 'Top 10' lists and generic guides. While these resources can be helpful, they usually lack depth and are produced by influencers who recycle the same information. Dan About Thailand stands out by providing genuine, experienced advice without relying on clickbait. 

With nearly 20 years in Thailand, working in various industries, raising a family, and living the expat life, Dan offers valuable insights you won't find elsewhere.

Known to his audience as Dan About Thailand, Dan Cheeseman has spent almost two decades in Thailand, establishing a successful career while raising his family in a country he loves deeply. Originally from the UK, Dan began his career in sales and marketing with Coca-Cola Enterprises. 

Feeling unfulfilled with a conventional career, he moved to Thailand at 29. There, he immersed himself in the media industry, collaborating with hotel and regional TV channels for tourists and expats, as well as online platforms like Thaivisa.com. Eventually, he ventured into property and hospitality, and today he serves as the CEO of a company in this sector, leading a team of over 100 employees.

Dan is also involved in several ventures, including BoostedbyPeople.com, a social platform that helps businesses share their posts with relevant users, and event management. Notably, he organised the event that brought boxing heavyweight champion Tyson Fury to Thailand for a gala dinner in Bangkok. 

Dan’s diverse experience, entrepreneurial spirit, and extensive network in Thailand provide him with a unique perspective on achieving success in the country—insights that few other expat influencers can match.
