Changkhui: Changkhui in VDO

The naughty episode of the year was recorded on December 28, 2012. The usual JAV-recording gang were regrouped but @Pawoot and @Jetboat26 could not make it for this year. @RudSooparb, @MrMaew and @ripmilla joined to share funny and chilling stories of their ghosts and spirits encounter. Since @JoyZ was at the recording room, so we invited her over to share her voice. We took turn telling stories that we had heard or even encountered first-handedly.

Most people knew him from being a co-host in the BearTai Hitech TV show. He was presented as the bad boy of the show. We had the opportunity to know him more in this episode, Teerak Boonprecha shared his life story as well as many naughty experiences during his childhood. It was somewhat a surprise to know that his background was really in the television industry and had always been in tv production for twenty years. You may follow him at twitter.com/SharkShows.

Tanya Pon-anand, mostly known for the Mindmap initiatives in Thailand, was somewhat intrigued during his 2010 trip to Singapore by the Singapore initiative in recording Guinness-like records only for Singapore. Out of curiosity, he conducted his own study and found that there were some early such initiative in Thailand many many years ago and they were all dis-organized so he came up with the "Thailand Book of Records" to keep the record straight. This was really a huge task and would require lots of dedication. He and his wife shared their experience during the production of the book and their commitment to update the book on an annual basis. You may find out more about the book at http://www.ThailandBookOfRecords.com.

Confused about what to pick among the threes? So were we. Even after the conversation, we still were. @RabbitMoon, who worked in a camera distributor, shared his opinion over the subject. @Kangg, who had been using all threes, also chimed in on his experience and why he ended up on a compact camera. It was really a recorded conversation among friends on the subject, rather than an expert opinion.

A long-time Changkhui listener and also a very closed friend of a friend, Prayut Piangbunta was a winemaker at PB Valley, Thailand. With such a sexy job, we managed to visit him at the vineyard and interview him about how he became a winemaker and what it was like starting a wine business in Thailand. We would like to thank khun Prayut and PB Valley for their hospitality. You may follow him at http://www.twitter.com/prayut and visit PB Valley at http://www.KhaoyaiWinery.com.

Once a year, there will be a book that came along and made us ticked. For this year, it was "The Power of Habit" by Charles Duhigg. The story of how habits were developed and could be systematically created. And the wonderful or dreadful outcomes of some habits. This was a very good book, very applicable for both personal and business. We managed to get Worawat and Jirapong Supasaowapak (Twitter.com/Zybernav) finish the book and share their opinions.

Our episode 43 guest, Vorapoj Nimvijit, was now an entrepreneur. And it was something remarkably new, his venture was an Internet-based radio station, BandOnRadio.com. The station was featured with so many big-name radio veterans. Most had been in the business since the late 70s and were still active on the Thai radio business, for example, Viroj Kwantham, Wasana Weerachatplee, both were from the Nite Spot heydays in the 80s. We invited khun Vorapoj and khun Mathuros Osathanondh to share their BandOnRadio story, their views on the Thai radio business and the way social network enable a new way to communicate with the audience.

IT Startups trend had been popping up in Thailand as of 2012. This was not surprising considering how long the world has been flat for last decade according to Thomas Friedman. But what was surprising was that it was not just happening to Thais, there were some expats who saw the opportunity as well. We invited Rob Zepeda of PlayBasis.com, Sitsari Kitisakkul, Bob Gallagher and Adam Nyback of You-Got.It to share their startups experience. Thank you all for coming.

The last time she appeared must have been more than a year ago, @meneeeee has been spending the last twelve months in Korea, studying the language in preparation for her second degree over there. She came back for a short visit and dropped by to say hello. We managed to record an audio episode so not to have too much preparation for her time. She shared her living experience in both personal and technology over there. She could be followed at http://www.twitter.com/meneeeee.

We saw #network on twitter with a few interesting topics on telecom network so we invited the guy who started it, @nsom, to share his knowledge on the topic. It was only natural to invite his good friend, @ripmilla, to join the conversation, too. We also know @HiaKoe, a guy who started ADSLThailand.com a few years ago and, eventually, became a Entrepreneur himself, importing network equipment. We invited him over to share his experience on the topic, too. Thank you all for sharing your stories.
