Did you ever see a success story like this in Thailand?

And? Pretty sure your original question was not restricted to any time-period. 

Less ancient would be the Food By Phone guy. Does that pass muster with you?

Success?  In a business, capitalist way you are correct!!!  amazing, superb, fascinating, great for a young adult, very inspiring.   

 

Life success?  who knows.   happy?  who knows?  reached enlightenment?  99.999% no way.

 

I would absolutely want his money if he has some. Maybe he has other bad investments. Maybe he bought that Trump coin and lost it all. Nobody knows.

 

I've seen too many rich people destroy families and themselves to claim "success" like the OP implies immediately.  

 

But he has done more than most, probably has money which buys opportunity and allows freedom, and I hope he's using it and his company to help others.   

 

Ask me again in 10-years.

Marc Hageleaur, yes, he did very well for himself. John Stamp too - came here with nothing and now sits on top of a business empire worth millions and employs thousands. He likes to spend time now chilling out on his super yacht, although is still in the Londoner most weekdays.

Those are just two people I know personally. I have another friend who came here 15 years ago with nothing and is now worth over $10m from businesses he has started in Thailand. He keeps a very low profile though and doesn't make YouTube videos about himself. 

Really not sure what the point of this post is. Is the OP trying to say you can only be successful in India and not here? Because that is obviously nonsense. If you are smart you can be successful. There are countless foreigners who have made millions here.
