About Me:
Wirisr Kulapongsphiwat

I'm an Indonesian-born entrepreneur with 16 years of business experience in the field of pharmaceutical, blockchain, natural extraction and skincares in Thailand and SE Asia.

I began my business with no knowledge of the Thai language, no investors, and no business-owning relatives. My first employment was in a Thai-Chinese-owned pharmacy with Malaysian, Singaporean, and Indonesian customers in the majority. I started my first blog titled "Life in Hatyai," and two years later, it was ranked number one by Google without any paid advertisements.

I made my first million by co-founding a pharmaceutical company that provided my readers with the necessary medication. I established a second company for the production of skincare products and invested significantly in research pertaining to the extraction of natural pharmaceutical compounds that are advantageous to human health.

We now have over six groups of companies spanning the healthcare industry, including cosmetics, personal care, pharmaceutical, skin tests, Halal consultation, and laboratory testing services, which include researching new innovations for human and animal use.

I wrote this blog expecting to be beneficial to all of my readers who are starting their businesses and hopefully any article written here would be beneficial to both expats and locals alike.

Our companies have been awarded with SME National Awards, Thailand Prime Minister's Export Award, FDA Quality Herbal Awards and journal publications through out the decade.
