Memoir of Thai businessman

Vikrom Kromadit is the developer of three industrial parks in Thailand and two in Vietnam. His name frequently appears on Forbes' top 50 list of Thailand's richest men. He's also one of the country's most active philanthropists. At the age of 60, he wrote down his unusual experiences and reflections on life during a three-month Buddhist retreat at a temple. Kromadit's best-selling autobiography, Be a Better Man, now has a Chinese version. It tells how he became a business icon after he graduated from National Taiwan University, with abundant dramatic moments to challenge readers' imagination.
