This is a post for anyone with a business mind, entrepreneur, opinion leaders with their own network or expats looking for a way to move to/stay in Thailand. I am NOT looking for sales people (but people with sales experience are welcome). I have the honor to host the first International Business Expansion Meeting for expats in Thailand for the foremost Anti-Aging company in the world. Now, if you feel anti-aging is for people of 60 and up, think again. To give you an idea about the size of the market: think about all of the Wuttisak, Nittiporn and other clinics on every corner of the road and in the shopping malls. Apart from half of the population (3 billion people) being over the age of 35, young guys and girls as early as 20 years old do laser and botox. Revenue in Thailand in the company I work with Thailand last year alone grew to 2 billion Baht (40% up from the year before in what most people would consider a "bad" economy). The technology we have launched makes people look 10 years younger in 10 minutes without invasive technologies such as botox, laser or surgery. It is the first genetic based anti-aging product and the result of over 18 years of research at Stanford University into the DNA that make us look and feel younger or older. This technology has been used by celebrities around the world such as Brad Pitt (US), Nicole Kidman (AU), Simon Cowell (UK) or Christopher Wright (TH) and was only recently launched in Asia. I am forming a team of people with high potential and with great connections to expand this business to the expat market in Thailand as well as take it abroad (Vietnam, Dubai, India). Attendees at the event will be local business people, expats and Thai nationals with international connections. There are only 60 seats available and 47 have already been reserved since I announced the event to my local network. As soon as the event is full, I will not be able to accept any more reservations. This will be a huge business opportunity for people with international connections (expats). To secure your seat, contact k. Christoph at 0858 or when the line is busy, please send an sms with your details to the same number. I look forward to meeting you at the event. Christoph

Many farangs in Thailand tend to focus on the farang markets when starting a business here. When I started out in Thailand, that is what I did as well because that was the market that I knew and understood. Today I'm shifting focus towards the Thai markets because I believe it makes more sense. It's a bigger potential pool of customers, and...this is Thailand! Do you own a business in Thailand? What is your target market and why? (and welcome to the new Business and Finance forum on TF)
