Amazing Hua Hin Holiday On Autopilot

Tags: ,

For all of those who have the time to get away, check this out. You make money online (autopilot), then you enjoy the lifestyle with it.

I love getting the chance of really getting away from it all. Usually one of my favourite holiday spots in Thailand is just a couple of hours from where I live and I always enjoy the drive. Hua Hin is a really nice quiet upper class town and clean city. Everyone seems to be friendly and is a very nice place to visit.

The best way to compare Hua Hin to let’s say somewhere in Australia for example would be say Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.

Anyway here are a bunch of photos I would like to share:

1. An Introduction to Hua Hin

2. Me being crazy with the bike and great picture in the background!

3. Waiting for a train

4. The lolly monster is in town

5. Being a superstar with Sangsom Thai whiskey

6. A classic 3 wheeler Tuk Tuk

7. A Sketch Portrait

8. I really am a cowboy

9. Japanese whiskey, this looks pretty real huh, lol

10. Great American Rib without the Rib

11. All this food and more!

12. Authentic Thai Seafood by the sea, just before the food came out:

13. Time for desert, who scream? ice cream!

14. A secret spot out in Khao Tao beach, (not a secret anymore)

15. Da Posing on the stairs at the peak of Kao Tao

16. Puff the magic dragon lived by the sea.

17. Another nice photo at the bay

18. And last but not least a photo of this bald guy, just had to be taken!

Lunch & Brunch, Before & After Workout

Tags: ,

It’s great to be back in Thailand and today I had a real nice time eating before going to the gym and after the gym! Nothing better then spoiling yourself!

When you work hard you should always treat yourself with lots of healthy food, this will keep your mind ticking and feeling great. Whats more is I love these hot pot style of restaurants where you can cook yourself.  It’s easy, just put the food into hot water yourself, I let my wife do this for me, she loves it!

Make sure when you have these kind of meals you go crazy with the sauce, basically add as much sauce as you can in with your small bowl and hot water to get the most taste out of the dish!

If you are not familiar with these places, MK Restaurant is a good one, and I recommend it for anyone that lives here or is traveling here.

Here are some pictures of the restaurant I ate at before my work out:

After a good workout, I went for a little snack with my wife before watching the new Karate Kid movie with Jackie Chan

Another meal an hour after my workout:

This is the life!

Business, Travel and Pleasure

Tags: ,


One thing I have been doing alot lately is traveling, just in one year alone I have flew to Australia and Back to Thailand three times. Although some of my time I had spent were related to pleasure generally most of my time mainly was related around business and setting up companies.

When I was in Melbourne this year I found the city to be very multicultural, perhaps more so then last time when I was there. There seems to be alot of Asian faces particularly Chinese who are there for university or study and even some in which have migrated there or been doing living there since birth. The amount of restaurants which are either owned by Asians or just generally working there is immense. Sad to say sometimes staying there, I don’t even feel Australian anymore.

Business on the other hand is quite enjoyable, being able to arrange meetings is not easy as time is very limited and everyone is always very rushed and busy, but after some time it is easy to nail them down and get clients to go through with a deal. Funny enough I probably got a total of around eight good clients while I was there and didn’t get anyone to sign a deal until I left to go back to Thailand. Once I flew back everyone started going ahead and using my services. It’s always the way.

I also really enjoyed the amount of networking events I attended whilst I was there, all ranging from social media marketing to entrepreneurship kind of groups. Once you start getting your face out there and giving out cards, people see your passion and start giving you work sooner or later.

As far as the rest of the trip was concerned I got to see family and of course my nephew as I am now officially an uncle! Being in Thailand now feels good as I can now handle business as usual with all the right connections I have here as I have always been a bit more set up here particularly for the last five years since I have been here. Regardless of the Bangkok riots and political situation I really do love it back here and am happily safe back home far away from all the chaos. I do have some exciting opportunities ahead of me here though now too.

Two clients in which want to work very closely with me one in the hotel software industry and the other in a global travel directory.

Creating Facebook Fan Pages for Social Marketing

Tags: ,

Recently just for experimental reasons and of course to later to generate traffic, I was playing with the creation of Facebook fan pages.

It’s really unbelievable to see some of the most basic fan pages that have thousands upon thousands of fans. So anyway I decided to also create a few fan pages that were also quite general just as a trial to see how far they can go.

What I found is usually people who join fan pages, join because it’s something they also believe in relating to the topic or have an interest in or remembering something about the past. There are hundreds of ideas I have about fan pages, these are a list of a few that I did:

1. Who wore MC Hammer Pants in the 90′s
2. I had a bowl cut in the 90′s
3. Your first job at 13

Of course I have other fan groups that do ok in other areas such as business or for clients, but this lot was purely for fun and as a trial to see how quick they grow.

When creating fan pages I find the most important factors to generate traffic to those pages are by coming up with a catchy titles, adding regular content including videos, and photos so that users can comment on them.

You can actually promote your fan pages further by using the Facebook advertising feature to send traffic to your site that way, or of course using Internet Marketing methods.

Do not get confused between fans or groups, Facebook groups are more for businesses and charity etc. that hold regular events and discussions. Where as Fan pages are more general and everyone is usually invited to be a fan of something!

Does anyone else use fan pages for promotion? What kinds of results are you seeing?
