How did I get into this business?

Well, if you're familiar with Thailand for holidays, you might suspect already that I got into this business through LOVE. Yes that's right I felt in love with the country and a particular inhabitant of this country, namely Noi, a superb girl with straight black hair and dark eyes.

Nothing original really, but our story dates way back in the 90s.. Since then of course things changed and nothing will never be the same again. But still that's how I got into the business of selling MIT (Made In Thailand) products to tourists here in Jomtien.

She worked in a shop before and I was on holidays, we met, we felt in love and then I was on a mission to stay and live in Thailand with her. I quit my job and came back here as soon as was humanly possible. Then after several months living a relaxed life, we looked for a place to rent and open "our" shop.

We've found it and worked hard, but then..

I think I'll continue this story in another post because it's another part of my life which is not so happy, there were many problems along the way and they all needed to be solved, they couldn't simply be ignored, unfortunately..

About my business here in Jomtien

Hi, so you'd like to know what my business is about? Well I sell products here in Thailand. I have a shop in a tourism destination and I offer on sale different products typical from Thailand.
My customers are mostly westerners and they seem happy with the choice of products in my shop and the prices, at least I don't get any complaining :-)

I also offer customization of products, so they can write anything on a choice of products made in Thailand. The customization is done by hand by a local Thai who work nearby. He's quite a skilled artist and conveniently he doesn't make the usual mispellings which Thai are unfamous for :-)

So how I got into this business, well that's an entirely other story which I'm going to tell you later in another post.
