Career & projects
Building things people come back to.
My work has moved between technology, media, community, advertising, education and business development — usually with the internet somewhere in the middle.
Founder · 2002
ThaiVisa.com / ASEAN NOW
ThaiVisa.com started as a practical information site for foreigners in Thailand. It developed into a large English-language forum and news platform, supported by a highly active member community and volunteer moderators.
The platform later became ASEAN NOW. On 19 April 2024, The Thaiger reported its acquisition of ASEAN NOW’s digital assets from Choice Group Asia and identified me as ASEAN NOW’s COO.

What connects the work?
A belief that useful information, strong communities and technology can reinforce each other — and that the best digital products become habits rather than one-off visits.
