In
My Childhood (Not a Jackson’s Album)
I was born in Cholburi in 1971, a province in Thailand. Nothing much
in my childhood.. My parents sent my brother and me to a boarding school
“Assumption Sriracha, Cholburi”. It was fun there.. I met a lot of friends..
It’s such a great experience I couldn't tell you all here.. I left the
school with the dream of having my own ZOO !!!.. Don’t ask me why..
coz’ I don’t know either...
In
Highschool and My Teenage
Here is the real beginning of my life.. I completely fell in love with
the music by picking, Guitar.. My father bought me my first guitar when
I was 14.. I addicted to it and almost dropped my school and went for
it to be an artist.. I had my own acoustic band when I was in the high
school, Darunpittaya Bangkok. I had a chance to get to know Tor and Tik
there. They became my closed friends. Both of them could play guitar very
well. I was inspired by them. They helped me improving my finger style..
and we finally set up our own acoustic band.. I still remembered that
they wanted to change my nick name to something beginning with the letter
“T” to get along well with their names. Sound funny huh.. In 1988, we
decided to participate in the RS acoustic contest.. we got the second
place from that... We also had a really good chance to perform a concert
at Ramkumhaeng University in the month later. That was so exciting and
still in my memories.. we kicked off the concert with a song of Jim Croce
“I’ll have to say I love you in a song”
and then “Time in the Bottle”, “April comes she will” the song of Simon
and Garfunkel....
Life
at Chulalongkorn University
I consider it a really good chance to study there. I was in the faculty
of Engineering. It was a tough time for me coz’ I was studying among my
genius-friends.. Oh boy..I really loved that tough.. hahahah Anyway, I
finally graduated from CU with a pretty little GPA. I had a couple times
to reunion the band with Tor and Tik coz’ they both got into Kasetsart
University.. Anyway, they invited me to join their concerts from time
to time such “Rub Nong Mai” at Kasetsart U. and a couple times in the
“Nine Gears Sport” event. In my senior year, I composed a song for my
EE department and played it with my Ovation “Custom Legend” 12 strings
in the EE night.. That was a great time for me...such a wonderful night...
Working
for Money
After my graduation, I worked for Seagate Technology Thailand.. started
out my career as an engineer.. I worked there for three years.. pretty
long..but time goes really fast though. I met my big brother there, P’Sommai..
He was a really good guy I’ve ever seen..!!! After I worked for a long
period..I decided to go abroad to acquire the Master's degree in the area
of business.. I quit from Seagate in May, 1996 and had two months off
to prepare myself for studying abroad.. At that time I was really interested
in scuba diving.. so I took an open-water course at the PADI authorized
school in Bangkok.. That was really fun..I had 4 dives before leaving
the course.. My brother and I also took a course of windsurfing at Pattaya
for a week before I went to the US..really great..!! You got to try this
stuff man..!!! It’s really tough..
Life
in the US
I came to the US in June 1996.. studied an intensive English course at
University of Denver, Colorado for two months..Nothing much that I got
from that course but experiences.. I lived in Denver with an American
host family, Dr. Bill and Mrs. Elle for a whole summer..That was really
really great time for me.. I went to Royal Gorge (The highest suspension
bridge in the world), Garden of God, Mesa Verde, Maroon Bells and Rocky
Mountain.. I camped on the Rocky Mountain for 2 days with Dr. Bill, Mrs
Elle and some of my friends.. It’s really cold up there.. it was so cold
that I couldn’t sleep in my tent.. I had to get off the tent and got into
the van to sleep instead.. Huu..zz.zzz.zz Then, I had a chance to go rafting
with my friends in Arkansas River.. So fun.. Before I left Denver, I bought
a new guitar there also.. and then I moved to Ohio to begin my MBA program
at Kent State University. Life is so fun here. We had only about 15 Thai
students in Kent.. Travelled again during the winter break..drove to the
southernmost "Key West" in Florida and stopped by big cities..like
Atlanta, Nashville, Savannah...also I went to Pittsburgh, Philadelphia,
I visited Martin Factory and then went to NewYork and D.C. during the
spring break. I can’t remember exactly when but I had four days off to
drove to Niagara Fall..I made a trip to Seattle last summer and went up
to Cannada also.. Alright I would get off the line here..So now you guys
know about me a lot better.. right..!!! :P

I am !
