I'd be happy making 100 million baht in 5 years :-) With the right project, the right background, the right branding, the right distribution, hard work and a bit of luck.... anything is possible. My product is an FMCG (fast moving consumer good), in other words a food item (although not all FMCGs are food). Target market is Thais who happily spend between 50 - 100 THB on a snack or a Starbucks etc. That is basically the middle classes. I will also target tourists but they are not my main target. I have a small factory in Bangkok which is close to being production ready, machinery testing will begin in 2 weeks and then I'll do a round of focus groups with Thais to make sure the flavours are right. Hope to then start selling in a limited capacity in April. And expand from there. Already have a well known multi millionaire who wants to take a franchise for Vietnam.

Wonder why a well known multi millionaire want to take a franchise, as he surely will know that on food products no patents can be taken, so he could simply copy it with his multi millions.

Several reasons. One he's a friend of mine, two he likes my business plan and likes to invest in small cottage businesses and he is Vietnamese (but grew up in the UK) and is now looking to invest in Vietnam.

I'm over it, she lives in Chiang Rai now in a very large house he gave her. We are still friends but she's far enough away that she's out of sight out of mind. As you say, my plan now is to get my business up and running, then once my brand is known then I'll start looking for the right girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wife and girlfriend??? Only 1 here! LOL No problem with her, she know I can be trusted. Acually I believe I am one of the luncky ones, that no have any trust issues that I have to think about. By the way: I tried to sign that I always wanted to be "Bamse", which is a cute little bear the eats honey to help others in need. The honey made him super strong, but all that I can see left of that game is a big belly. Not a duck around! Cheers!

Thanks Catman, You are right of course. I've been through many breakups in the past. She left me over a year ago, so I'm over her. Going to be a real challenge to find someone that even matches her, but I'm sure there is someone out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"he was never into the Mr.Universe thingy", Yes he was, why did he regularly take off his shirt in the Cheyenne series? There is nothing more disgusting than the male body. . Arnie never towered over anybody. When I met him in Sun Valley, USA where he and his former wife had a house as big as a hotel, I was surprised to see he is about 5' 8". At 5' 10" I am two inches taller than him. In a lot of his movies he is filmed with the camera at an up angle to make him look taller and in some cases he is standing on a box next to other taller actors. Being in to "the Mr Universe thing" represents years of hard work and competition and resulted in his being a very rich man today. Arnie is an immigrant from Austria who came to America and realized the quintessential American dream. Go to America and get rich through hard work and pluck. I admire him for that if not for his acting abilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent post Willie, as I have already said, you would be surprised at how small some actors are, but that is not to say they don't play good parts, and have excellent acting ability, a perfect example of that was Alan Ladd, at 5ft 5ins he had to stand on a box to kiss his female stars, he was a great actor and made many great movies. The most miscast actor ever IMO was Tom Cruise at 5ft 5ins playing Jack Reacher who in the Lee Child books is 6ft 5ins. What a joke that is, I could not even enjoy the movie because of that.

roo860 Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 I remember years ago in Macau, a group of us were at the GP there. Someone noticed this fella standing near us, he said I'm sure that's Gene Hackman, he had a bit of an enterage with him, everyone said no chance he's too tall, I walked over to him and asked if he Gene Hackman, yes, he replied. He was sponsoring one of the race teams. Anyway had pics taken with him, was really nice. On the screen you don't realise how tall or small people are.Sent from my SM-G920F using Thaivisa Connect mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great actor but he truely cannot carry that role....Even looks funny trying to do the big man swagger walk + getting tossed around easily by the baddies....Jack Reacher would never stand for that.... Being a fan of the books, the last Jack Reacher movie was the last one for me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
