I can't link to the BP write up which seems the best, but a quick Google of "Jarun Jaroensab" will get you there.

Nice to read about a Thai farmer that is motivated and has an IQ.

Well done that man.

odd, i could have sworn that i read somewhere that all thais were thick.

props to him. its quite a story.

the story states than when he found out his folks 5 rai were heavily mortgaged, i couldnt help but wonder how many rai they had already lost to loan sharks

Kudos to Jarun. With some luck he will inspire many to follow in his footsteps.
