Changkhui: Changkhui in VDO

This is not your conventional group-of-friends startup. They all met in a startup event, brainstorming for 54 hours together to eventually earn the runner-up award. The event might be over by December 2011 but the group hung on to their dream and, six months later, came up with the actual launch of their mobile application, Got.It App, with a few established merchants joining their platform. This took an extraordinary combination of talents, dedication and a great business concept. You may learn more about them and their app at http://www.You-Got.It and http://www.facebook.com/GotItApp.

Being a long-time fan of the sportscaster and, also, his favorite topic, Rud invited Apakorn Yoma to share his NFL news reporting experience. Apakorn was the most famous NFL commentator in the last few years, he was also a columnist at Siam Sport publishing. We talked for over two hours and it was still not half of what Rud intended to cover. You might contact Apakorn at http://www.Facebook.com/NFLNBA.

Vasin Permsup was known as the founder and owner of Provision publishing, a Thai publishing company, specializing in Technology topics, trends and life styles. For the older geeks, using MS-DOS at its prime during the 80s and early 90s, you might remember a Thai book called DOS Manual; well Vasin was the sole author of the book. We asked him to share his experience in the book business during this digital media. You might contact him at Twitter.com/VasinP, VasinP.com and www.provision.co.th.

An up-and-coming Thai online marketer, Jakrapong Kongmalai, AKA @Jakrapong, shared his life experience, so far. He was one of the founding members of ThumbsUp.in.th, a popular Thai geeks news, founded in 2011. His resume included a stint at Manager.co.th, Mars magazine, TRUE and Yahoo. He is currently in charge of online marketing for Thai Samsung. As usual, we ended up talking for more than two hours and had to divide it into two episodes; this was the second one.

This specialist shop of selling headphones comes highly recommended by many Changkhui listeners that we should be doing an episode with them. As it turned out, they were very friendly, easy-going kind of guys and we ended with two episodes since they seemed to talk their ways out of topics. We had Munkong and Beas from MunkongGadget.com, who shared their stories how they started the shop. We had Kangg from Siampod.com, Rud Sooparb and @Ripmilla who took turn moderating the conversations. This was one of the funniest recordings, what an episode to start the year. This was the second part of the conversation.

This might be a tradition; an annual naughty episode. The whole team, which recorded for episode 192 and 193, came back to record the topic. However, this was somewhat unorganized and the conversation was jumping from one topic to another. It was still fun and naughty as usual. Happy New Year.

Since Rud and Yingchat Asavasopon had been friends since primary school days, Rud asked if we could make an episode of BOSE, which Yingchat's family had been the sole distributor in Thailand since the 60's. So we visited Asavasopon's showroom at Siam Paragon on Christmas eve. We also had Mr.Anuthep Sribenjapanon (Joe), Assistant Sales Director (Home Audio) and Buncha Chanintravanich (Tum), Product Manager, to join the recording. For those who had been long-time admirers of BOSE, this episode could be quite interesting on how Asavasopon came to represent the company in thailand. Also, it might prompt a lot of people to pay more attention to Bose when they had a chance.

In keeping with our tradition of producing 5 likes 5 dislikes of friends and listeners, this year we were doing a video episode for the occasion. We have @Mor_Maew, Pirat Lokapattana, and @MrMaew, Kanol Napapong, who were both famous for promotong #SexPlus in Twitter to share their personal likes and dislikes for 2011.
