The Standard, Hua Hin, the vibrant seafront retreat, unveils a thoughtful three-day event with all female-led sessions. From free-diving and breathing experts to meditation and yoga, set to the backdrop of Standard Sounds and embellished with cannabis-based body care products.

The Standard, Hua Hin’s newest and most sought after resort where buzzing beach vibes meet mid-century design, is inviting guests to unwind on the shores of the Gulf of Thailand this December when it hosts an upbeat wellness retreat with a musical and spiritual twist.

Running from 4th-6th December, 2021, this inspiring event will feature some of the world’s pioneering female wellness practitioners coming together for the first time in Thailand to create a holistic and highly original mind and body program that will soothe and stimulate in equal measures.

The retreat is in partnership with Rainbow Cannabliss, a unique brand that embraces the healing power of cannabis in a range of products, from body and hair oils to scrubs and teas. Founded by two siblings, Note Panayanggool (Notep), an artist, musician and conservationist, and Nont Panayanggool, an entrepreneur, chef and elite athlete, this product range was originally developed to help relieve pain from sports injuries. Now adapted and expanded into a comprehensive, eco-friendly collection, this cannabis-based range will be showcased in an insightful exhibition.

The Standard’s fragrant tropical gardens will set the stage for a series of expert-led classes, including yoga, meditation and breathing, all set to the backdrop of invigorating, uplifting music.

Notep, who has performed DJ sets all around the world, including USA, Italy, France, Hong Kong and Japan, will host an active meditation and sound healing session, enhanced by Rainbow Mood tea. This deeply spiritual workshop will allow guests to experience intense exhilaration through deep beats that flow through the core of the body and penetrate the senses.

Linda Salas, a creative consultant, and yoga instructor from California, will also be flying in to practice yoga therapy to the backdrop of live DJ tunes. Linda strives to guide her students through physical poses by harmonizing the rhythm of their breath with the beat of the music. The goal is to let guests find personal peace and restoration, while also building balance in the body. This class will also be uplifted by Rainbow Mood tea.

Controlled breathing is an essential element of mental and physical health, but all too often it is overlooked during our fast-paced lives. The Standard’s Wellness Retreat will introduce breathing workshops by Namasti, which was founded by two experienced female free-divers. Following many happy years in the water, Natalia and Charis are now using their unique skills to help other people enhance their mindfulness.

Natalia, a functional breathing and yoga specialist, and Charis, a free-diving instructor and health coach, will oversee two immersive sessions, “Beyond the Breath” (free-diving basics and breath-holding) and “Breathing Fundamentals” (breath and our health).

Finally, the evenings will be enlivened by Standard Sounds, the first in a series of live music nights and DJ sets that will ignite this stunning seafront retreat. Note P will be joined by DJ Myle, a top artist from Switzerland who has performed to massive crowds all around the globe and is known for her deep, melodic, emotional, and organic beats. These two female talents will come together at sunset for a duo set with a strong wellness focus.

There will be 4 sessions each day, starting from 8 a.m. until the last session ends at 6.30 p.m., with the maximum of 30 people per session, including:

Yoga to live DJ and sound healing with Rainbow Mood tea

Active meditation, sound healing with Rainbow Mood tea

Breathing Fundamentals (The breath and our health)

The art of relaxation (The Science of feeling safe)

Beyond the breath (Freediving basic and breath holding)

The company has recently announced that it will list its pet food and tuna products manufacturing subsidiary Asian Alliance International in the stock exchange by the end of next year.

Though economies across the world have been hit adversely by the Covid-19 pandemic, Asian Group has been one of the few companies to report outstanding operating results.

The Asian Group, which started as a family business more than 40 years ago, is now a major manufacturer and distributor of food products ranging from frozen food and tuna products to pet food and aquatic feed. Its newest pet food, sold under the brand “Monchou” has received good feedback from pet owners.

The main reason that the company has done well during the pandemic is because of the huge changes it made to its commodity business, which was volatile and made low profits.
The company decided to close down one small factory and had its two other frozen food factories working in full capacity. It also stopped producing commodity goods, especially shrimp products for the US market.
Instead, the company shifted its focus to frozen ready-to-cook meals. The Asian Group has held on to the belief that pet food and ready-to-cook meals can compete sustainably in the market of value-added products.

This shift pulled down sales and profits in 2019 due to the cost of reorganising factories and laying off employees, as well as the gradual shift to new products. However, it paid off during the Covid-19 lockdowns when the demand for pet food and ready-to-cook meals surged as people were forced to work from home and maintain social distancing.

How a shift in focus turned the Covid-19 crisis into a big opportunity for Asian Group

From 2018 to 2020, Asian Group’s yearly income stood at 9.8 billion baht, 8.3 billion baht and 8.8 billion baht, respectively with net profits of 362 million baht, 133 million baht and 818 million baht.
In the first nine months of this year, the company’s total sales revenue came in at 7.11 billion baht with a net profit of 779 million baht.

How a shift in focus turned the Covid-19 crisis into a big opportunity for Asian Group

The company has recently announced that it will list its pet food and tuna products manufacturing subsidiary Asian Alliance International in the stock exchange by the end of next year.
The application will be submitted to Thailand’s Security and Exchange Commission in April.

How a shift in focus turned the Covid-19 crisis into a big opportunity for Asian Group

Apart from its pet food products doing exceptionally well, Asian Group is confident that its frozen food and ready-to-cook meals will continue bringing in big profits.

Digital marketing agency Primal, led by Forbes 30 under 30 Mark McDowell, joins global digital agency group with exclusive NFT project

Thailand’s fastest-growing digital agency didn’t get there by chance. Their rapid growth has been fuelled by their dedication to innovation and by constantly pushing the boundaries.

And they are at it again.

Headed up by Forbes 30 Under 30 Mark McDowell, Primal is a part of a larger network of agencies that are now being consolidated under one umbrella ‘superbrand’ – Superist.

With Primal leading the way, Superist is looking to make its mark on the global digital scene. As well as launching their new ‘superbrand’, Superist is also offering their own NFTs and plans to accept cryptocurrency for client payment in the upcoming months.

As part of its launch, Superist has released nine NFTs on OpenSea, each depicting a key leader in the global group. Each NFT also comes with one hour of each leader’s time, which can be redeemed straight away, or at a later date. The longer the owner of the NFT holds on to the time, the more valuable it becomes as the group achieves more success.

Digital marketing agency Primal, led by Forbes 30 under 30 Mark McDowell

The group, which is currently comprised of Appscore (Australia), Chili (Brazil, Panama, Mexico), CODI Agency (Australia) First Page (Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore), Lisnic (Australia), Primal (Malaysia and Thailand), Removify (Australia) and USEO (Middle East) provides a multitude of services including digital marketing, content creation, reputation management, app and website development, celebrity speakers and online mentoring.

“This is an exciting time for the agency as we use our regional experience in a more collaborative manner to deliver integrated results across the region and achieve strong growth for brands as a unified global group with a plethora of offerings”, says Primal CEO, Mark McDowell.

Primal CEO, Mark McDowell

Primal co-founder and Australian Rich-Lister Nick Bell is the driving force behind Superist. After recently launching the Australian arm of his agency First Page, Bell realised there was a gap in the market for a more dynamic and independent digital group that would make it easy for companies to achieve global digital success.

“As we aren’t a listed group, Superist is completely independent, meaning we don’t have to answer to shareholders so we can always put the needs of our clients first”, explains Bell. “We can push the boundaries with first to market initiatives that will help our clients stand out in the increasingly competitive digital landscape.”

Clients for the group include McDonald’s, Intel, Mercedes Benz, Uber, Colgate, L’Oreal, Bayer, Rolex, McLaren and the co-Founder of Netflix, Marc Randolph.

Today H.E. General Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Thailand, attended a virtual executive meeting with Mr. Ren Zhengfei, CEO of Huawei Technologies.

Today H.E. General Prayut Chan-o-cha, Prime Minister of Thailand, attended a virtual executive meeting with Mr. Ren Zhengfei, CEO of Huawei Technologies. H.E. Gen Prayut expressed appreciation for Huawei’s continued support of Thailand’s digital transformation and post-pandemic recovery, and his eagerness to further strengthen cooperation with Huawei to promote the Thailand 4.0 strategy and digital talent cultivation.

During the meeting, Gen Prayut and Mr. Ren exchanged views on how to consolidate digital competitiveness and build a stronger foundation for ICT talent in Thailand. Participants included XXX, Simon Lin, President of Huawei Asia Pacific, and Abel Deng, CEO of Huawei Thailand.

Gen Prayut also stressed the important role that advanced ICT technologies and digital innovation would play in supporting Thailand’s economic resilience and sustainability, stating that “Huawei has provided profound contributions to Thailand’s fight against the pandemic and the country’s digital transformation. I am deeply impressed by Huawei’s history and dedication. Going forward, Thailand is eager to continue working with Huawei in various areas, including the digital economy, 5G Smart Hospitals, cloud and computing, digital power, smart logistics, and further data centers.”

Thailand Prime Minister Meets Huawei CEO to Promote Collaboration on Digital Transformation and Talent Development

Mr. Ren expressed his gratitude for the Thai government’s trust in Huawei and congratulated Thailand on its successful 5G rollout. He emphasized that “Huawei and Thailand have been working together to build a strong digital infrastructure foundation for many years. We look forward to further accelerating the integration digital technologies in Thailand’s key industries, especially in port and airport capabilities.”

“We strongly believe in Thailand’s successful digital transformation and talent development. Our local team will continue working closely with Thai customers and partners to serve the country’s social and economic development with technology solutions.” Ren said.

Driving towards Thailand’s digital blueprint of becoming the ASEAN digital hub, Huawei and Thailand have been closely cooperating in two key areas.

First, in line with the Thailand 4.0 strategy, Huawei has worked with its customers to accelerate Thailand’s digital transformation and ICT infrastructure innovation. Through the adoption of 5G, Cloud, and AI, Huawei and its industry partners are enabling Thailand’s key sectors and creating exciting opportunities across multiple sectors, including healthcare, education, transportation, e-government, and smart city, to bolster Thailand’s long-term socioeconomic development and digital ecosystem.

Alongside this, the session flagged the important potential cooperation of Huawei and Thailand on smart ports and airports. Mr. Ren introduced the company’s best practices regarding Smart Port and Smart Airport Solutions in China, where it builds automation capabilities based on all factors — people, vehicles, goods, enterprises, and places — to help build safe, efficient, and intelligent world-class ports and airports.

Thailand Prime Minister Meets Huawei CEO to Promote Collaboration on Digital Transformation and Talent Development

Secondly, Gen Prayut and Mr. Ren also highlighted their commitment to cultivate and upskill digital talent in Thailand in order to drive Thailand’s digital transformation and long-term development. Both men stressed that the public and private sector must work together to build an open, shared ICT talent ecosystem that benefits all.

Aimed at cultivating Thailand’s ICT talent and digital workforce, Huawei established the Huawei ASEAN Academy (Thailand) in 2019, which has since trained over 41,000 ICT professionals and provided training to 1,300 small and medium-sized enterprises. Huawei has also signed MOUs with more than 20 Thai universities. With a digital world fast approaching, Huawei is determined to ensure that no one is left behind through digital inclusion initiatives that enhance the digital knowledge and employment prospects of vulnerable groups.

Since its establishment in Thailand in 1999, Huawei has fulfilled its mission to “Grow in Thailand, Contribute to Thailand” by continuously working to support Thailand’s digital transformation journey and contribute value to society. Huawei Thailand currently has over 2,800 employees, 86% of whom are local employees, and indirectly generates more than 8,500 job opportunities. In March 2021, Huawei Thailand  was chosen for the Special Prime Minister Award as the “Digital International Corporation of the Year”, with the award recognizing Huawei for its valuable support and outstanding contributions to Thai society, as well as its efforts to support digital transformation. It is the only company to receive this award.
