编 者 寄 语

“Your Majesty, please don’t abandon us”.

This plea rang out loud from one of the many people who had come to greet His Majesty King Bumipol Adulyadej, who had recently been crowned king when he was visiting his subjects 70 years ago. His Majesty the King heard and remembered the plea for he was never far from his subjects, not for so much as a single day.

For he is the true king of the fatherland.

He was The King of Kings. Admired, praised and proclaimed around the globe in lands near and far as The King of Kings.

He was the longest reigning monarch in the world, a glorious reign of 70 years. For those 70 years the citizens of Thailand remained protected by his grace, just as an umbrella protects against the harsh rays of the sun.

Now, he has passed and the warmth and light His Majesty blessed us with is gone. Like a candle extinguished leaves a chill, His Majesty’s passing leaves a coldness in the hearts of his subjects. Many tears have and will be wept, for His Majesty was never far from us. But in truth His Majesty will never be far from our hearts. His work and words of immense wisdom remain, guiding and inspiring us to be good for the unity of our country.

请国王不要离开我们！ 有一个声音在群众中流传，“七十年来，他一 直到处走访人民，了解体恤人民生活情况”。自从 加冕到现在，他从来没有离开过人民的视线。

他是泰国正真的父亲

他是全世界国王中最好的国王。 他是世界上在位时间最长的国王，长达70年。

6 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

在这七十年里，整个泰国在国王的庇护下，人民 得以安居乐业。 而现在，他已经安静的离开了我们。所有 的声音和光像是被冻结了一样，人们沉寂的悲 伤之中。国王永远不会离开我们，他的训言会 一直会引导我们的生活！ 24life 杂志全体工作人员深切缅怀国王陛 下，让我们全体工作人员为您送行，让我们永 远做您的子民。

24life Magazine editors feel a sense of immeasurably gratitude to His Majesty, we wish with the entirety of our hearts His Majesty a safe journey to heaven and make this solum promise: we will be His Majesty’s loyal servants for eternity.

D

oi Inthanon is the highest peak of Thailand. The towering mountain stands at over 2,565 meters above sea level, and is covered with a blanket of tropical forest.

It is the source of rivers and provides a habitat for a gloriously wide variety of flora and fauna. Decades ago the ecology of the area was devastated by the negative consequences of slash and burn agriculture.

In 1979 His Majesty the King visited Doi Inthanon and instructed the establishment of the Inthanon Mountain Royal Research Station Project. The project’s status was elevated in 2007 to become the Royal Agricultural Station Inthanon.

The mountain, once used for slash and burn agriculture has now become a sustainable agriculture area cultivating temperate crops and a major agro-tourist attraction.

泰国最高的山峰要属茵他农 山，海拔2565米整个山体被茂密的 森林覆盖，是众多生物的栖息地。 几十年前的毁林种地给当地的生态 带来了很大的影响。 佛历2522年，国王陛下出访茵 他农山，主持建立了茵他农皇家农 业实验中心，直到佛历2550年才改 名为茵他农皇家农业中心。 当地的农民在这里种植温带水 果和蔬菜，如今这里已经成为大家 农业休闲旅游的好去处！

The land was cleared to cultivate poppies, however those who had cleared the land and cultivated the poppies, the local hill tribes, remained impoverished. His Majesty the King gave from his own purse 1500 baht, a considerableamount at the time, to buy an area of land

A visit to Puparn Royal Development Study Centre is not complete without tasting ‘the three blacks’ of black chicken, black pork, and black beef.

It is the home to more than 600 000 people and has long served as the ‘breadbasket of the southern region’. Due to a growing population and falling rainfall, the amount of fresh water flowing into the Pak Phanang river fell.

This allowed the incursion of

saltwater into the soil and a fall in the yields of agricultural crops.

In 1992 His Majesty the King ordered the construction of the flood gates at Pak Panang.

Mr. Thunyapong Limparangsri Managing Director of Headstart Holding Co.,ltd

Thunyapong Limparangsri 先生 ， H e a d s t a r t H o l d i n g 公 司 的 常务 董 事

H

eadstart Holding Co.,Ltd., began 8 years ago as a partnership between Thai and foreign investors.

The company began from the investment in a wholesale fresh market on Rama 2, and with excellent risk management and private funding, the company grew steadily to include an extended field of business portfolio, including investment, property, restaurant, health, and resort businesses.

Positive thinking and vision are the keys to the company success.

Headstart is always searching for businesses with high potential and find an opportunity to make a move into any industry it believes to have a bright future. The company is financed through private funding, meaning that it does not have any 52 l 24 LIFE M a g a z i n e

debts. Although it also means slow growth, but Headstart is expanding exponentially into a comprehensive field of businesses such as hospitality. Its first restaurant – Buritara, a chic lifestyle restaurant

by Chao Phraya River - took a years to become profitable before the second branch was set up.

The second branch took only a year to become profitable since the company learnt a lot of lessons from the first branch, and the third restaurant, Patong Beach Club, soon followed and become profitable since day one. The recently opened Patong Beach Club aims to attract customers at the age of 35-45 with the style and music choice from the 90s. As for the near future, Headstart will soon launch its newest Chinese fastfood restaurant which will be the company’s first step into fastfood sector.

With expertise in property market, Headstart has a well-established real estate business in Phuket.

The business originally focused on Chinese investors but it has grown to offer over 10 languages support, and is now planning to evolve into property developer.

Besides restaurants and property, Headstart also invested in commercial forestry with a strong partnership with Asia Plantation Capital, and the business has seen a double digit growth during the past 6-7 years.

The company will also expect a very busy 2017 as its first beauty and healthcare clinic will be opened in February, 2017. Located in the busy Tonglor district, The anti-aging clinic will serve the rapidly increasing beauty and health trend and attract customers in

their 30s or higher who would have high purchasing power.

If the clinic proves to be successful, you will definitely see its sister branch in Phuket. However, that’s not all the company has in plan for 2017. Headstart will also be opening its own luxury pool villa resort on Koh Maprao, Phuket, by the end of next year.

Headstart expanded from its primary base in Bangkok to Phuket because this fascinating island paradise has a lot of potential, especially with the new airport.

It believes Thailand will continue to be the leader of hospitality business as the cost of living is comparably low and the country is renowned for its Thai hospitality.

首先，先介绍一下关于Headstart Holding公司的投资项目，主要经营 于经济投资、房地产、餐厅、保健和 度假村。 投资项目，目前已经和Asia Plantation Capital 公司合作进行商业林种 植，以及出售林木，使得公司业绩这 6-7年来，以14-15%的速度增长。 房地产业，我们看到普吉岛房地 产的潜在市场。公司有着多年房地产 销售的能手，他们从最初专注于中国 客户，到现在已经会说十多种语言。 每年20％的速度增加，目前公司拥有 的土地，已经准备独立开发。正在等 待适合的时机！ 餐厅，目前在经营的是坐落的湄 南河边上的Buritara餐厅，已经经营 了15年之久，餐厅主要以都市生活主

题为主，感受湄南河的夜景。还有刚 刚开业不久的，坐落于普吉岛的巴东 海滩边上的Patong Beach Club ，主 要针对35-45岁的的顾客，音乐风格 也是主要是1990-2000年的。并在此 基础上还开设了一家以中式快餐为主 的餐厅，目前也在正常营业中。

海边休闲的同时也控制饮食，并且参 加健身活动。使自己拥有一个自信的 体型，来会见不同角色的客人。

保健行业：按计划将在2017年 九月在Thonglor开设第一家Clinic Anti-Aging，然后将业务将扩展到普 吉岛。目前我们正在进行市场调查， 了解客户需要的服务类型，例如：保 健、美容和整形。主要人群集中在 35-50岁之间，这部分人群相对来说 都有比较好的经济基础。目前我们已 经拥有相关的数据显示，如今越来越 多的人开始注重身体保健。

公司是如何起步的? 回顾过去的 八年时间，刚开始认识几位有意向 在泰国投资的外国商人，首先是在 praram2经营一个批发市场，市场的 营业时间是凌晨2点到早上10点。随 着事业不断的发展，所有行业的投资 都是以公司的资金投资（不再依靠 银行贷款）。随着事业逐渐的步入正 轨，公司的管理也趋于正轨化。每年 都会进行财政预算，按照制定的计划 不断的发展壮大。

尤其是像普吉一样的旅游城市， 大多数游客比较注重自己的体型，在

度假村主要以泳池别墅形式为主，目 前已经正在施工，将在明年年底在普 吉府椰子岛开始营业。

商业运行的支柱 凡是都向积极

的一面去想，相信事业会不断的壮 大，抓住时机，进军各个行业。 商业强项 公司旗下的分公司的 发展都是依靠现有的资金发展起来 的，所以发展的速度稍微比较缓慢， 但是公司没有债务。比如在餐饮业， 从起初的一家店连续5年盈利，然后 在开设第二家分店，第二家分店的盈 利，再去开设第三家，而开设第三家 的时间只用了一年时间。 未来普吉经济发展状况 随着普 吉新机场的开放，越来越多高品质的 游客会选择来普吉。对于外国人来 说普吉是一个人人都喜欢去的地方， 这里物价便宜，外加泰国人的热心好 客，我百分之百的确定普吉的经济发 展前景特别广阔。对于我们公司来 说，今后的发展焦点将由曼谷向普吉 慢慢转移。
