Stable business that I have worked for 8-9 years |
Interviewer: How do you work from the stable business to property?
Mr.Suriya: At first my friend persuaded me to buy the land at behind Laguna Phuket for estimate the benefit. By I gave an half of pledge first. And the left pledge my friend will pay later. That is about 2.5 million baht per person. So at that time I have paid a lot of money. Take money from my family. When reached the time that I must to pay, my friend was disappeared. I have to look for 2.5 million baht within that day. Finally I have to borrow money from my cousin.
Interviewer: You looked so tired
Mr.Suriya: Yes, but I must go on. When I get the land, I must to think carefully because money that I borrow I have to give back to them. So I connect with an architect and design a house. When it’s all done, I announce to sell immediately.
Interviewer: How long do you take time for sell?
Mr.Suriya: It was not long time, I announced on internet on Wednesday until Thursday. There is a man want to deal with me and “say yes”. It’s enough to expand my business.

Mr.Suriya:I might say in the past time the mine is a very flourishing business in Phuket. But now the business that flourish as same as mine is property. I would like to say “thank you” to all of holy things that bring me to work this business. I really accept that it can make much benefit but the best things are saving money and do anything with carefully. As I plan to step by step. Don’t wait for tomorrow. So every land that I have sell must be only mine. I don’t sell the lands that are not mine.
Interviewer: Why?
Mr.Suriya: I think I can not determine by myself. Such as I have dealt with the customer already, the customer can change his mind. May be he doesn’t want to sell. So if I see which a beautiful land, I will buy it by myself.
Interviewer: It looks like a different work?
Mr.Suriya: As the lately there is someone told me about beautiful lands. So I paid him money for his tiring. When I heard something about the lands, it makes me know where I can buy lands.
Interviewer: How can we learn by your experience?
Mr.Suriya:From the beginning it makes me know I have to plan in long term. For example: when I bought a land. I don’t wait for sell only but I have to plan for the first, the second and the third. Currently when I bought a land I start to plan a project. If there is somebody calls for buy it, I will sell it. But in during of contact and in an agreement we are still continued because it is a way to increase the valuable of my product.
