As a singaporean, feel proud of fellow wise man doing good for Thailand. Learnt a lot from the wise CEO too. Thanks

Great interview! I really enjoy your videos on business in Thailand, its business culture, and how one should conduct themselves to assimilate and thrive in Thailand. Please keep them coming!

Very good interview. Learnt a lot from the CEO.

Nice interview, I have listened till the end 👍

The last part about understanding kreng jai is probably the best piece of advice for any foreigner living in Thailand. It's hard to define but I think of it as behaving in a way that considers how your behavior impacts others. Something like consideration or empathy. It's really what makes Thailand such a great place.

เกรงใจ “considerate” for example if you arrive at a hotel and they promptly help you with your luggage you would respond with เกรงใจ

This was awesome! Thank you for interviewing him.

Excellent interview, Forest. Timeless, miraculous, inspiring, and informative story. Thanks a million.

Great episode

Thank you. Enjoyed the interview and knowledge.

Thank you for this excellent episode. I learned a lot and enjoyed every bit of the conversation.

Very interesting VDO! Thanks!

I really enjoy your videos. Your channel has been a great find.

Nice interview, very informative, thank you for sharing!

Truly enjoyed this interview. Something fresh and different than your other videos. Keep at it! Aloha 🌺🌺🌺

Thoroughly enjoyed the interview. Thanks brother

Nestley! one of the most evil corporations in the world

Great interview - thanks to Victor for sharing his experience and thoughts

Thank you for this one, I've learned a lot about Thai culture. Especially useful for navigating Thai business culture.

Excellent interview. Interesting to learn that even Asians must figure out Thailand's culture. What I observed during 20 yrs of visiting Thailand and doing business with Thai, is that many Thai males are hot blooded and thus even Thai male managers tend to have a female assistant to communicate with staff or business partners.

Fascinating interview! I liked that he knew himself and decided to use his entrepreneurial mindset within a large corporation rather than deal with all the headaches and uncertainty in his golf business. Seems like a very happy person.

Thank you and it was inspiration!

Outstanding interview.

Good job n great content

Great interview and it is important information for improvement.

Nice meeting you today

Great interview, these are great insights to share with the community. Unfortunately, most foreigners starting a business in Thailand learn these illogical concepts the hard way and it is costly. Doing business in Thailand as a non Thai is doing business in Hard Mode compared to your own country.

As a 40ish westerner that has been growing up eating Nestle products, I can tell the quality of the Nestle products and overall products distributed by big companies kept degrading over the years despite evolution of technologies, agriculture and researches... This just can not be a pure hasard as everything has this same sugar taste with tasteless flavor.

This is the best time to invest in Thailand. Their stock market is really cheap right now. But there's an enormous growth potential.

too much corruption at the top and lack of productivity at the bottom. The US >>>>>>>>>> Thailand as a place of investment.

Look at forrest casually sitting down for a chat with the CEO of Nestlé! Nice one!

Love, Thailand

Victor really understands Thai people. I totally agree with his perspective.

As an investor I find a video like this extremely informative, Investing in Asia is a different game than North America where I am from and have my assets,

Miss you, bud.

By bigger government, higher taxes, wealth transfers minus a 50% cut? Those are western socialist ideas that destroy an economy everywhere it's tried. If you don't like traditional Thai culture, vote with your feet. There are several equal outcome oriented communist countries nearby to choose from. Too many white knight expats try to import the misery they fled from.

does singapore has worldwide income taX for long stay residents?

If you have to ask, you can't afford Singapore. AI chat can gently explain, in depth, as well as correct your grammar.

Nestle is MASSIVE. wtf.

With the upcoming worldwide income tax, potentially around 35% as they currently tax remitted income and plan to tax all worldwide income, I am personally preparing to leave as soon as possible. If you are interested in purchasing amazing condos in Phuket, please contact me. Thailand is an incredible place, but it will become too expensive for me after this change. Thank you 🙏

Greta interview very informative. Curious angle right in front of his face. Not sure

Ppl were happy that the country was shut down? Not the ones in the food lines. Sui-sides stats rose. A big proportion lives hand to mouth daily. This guy is detached. Like Peter Brabeck.

You say Thailand is a good investment. But then again you also said in this video that you exported beer from Myanmar in an ad campaign. Which you then immediately admitted wasn't really a true statement.

Nestle is a junk food company. This CEO just sounds like a salesman.

Investing in a country where you can’t own a controlling stake in your own company is ludicrous

It's a real pain but there are ways around it, you can for example register a company in Singapore then open a branch office in Thailand with 100% ownership.

If Thailand strengthens the public education system, teaches other languages, Chinese, English in the schools, strengthen students math skills, teach children not to just give up and to look for solutions and talk to others for solutions then companies may want to invest in Thailand. Thailand lacks an abundance of talented people. Businesses are more global and competing across broad regions.

Thailand's average IQ of around 90 isn't exactly bright either. It'll be mired in sort of 'upper tier' developing world status in perpetuity.

I’m investing in Ukraine by sending billion of taxpayer dollars over there. Of course 10% goes to me, the big guy.

Thailand is not going up

Forrest, you are a good Christian man. How are you planning to save your girl friend from paganism?

i disagree with this man. I would never bet on Thailand for my future investments....I know the Thai well enough to disagree. I've heard all this several times before...It's talk that never comes to fruitation....The current situation is backward. But hey if you feel like wasting money..Go ahead.
