Internet enables any businesses to expand and fly borderless to anywhere in the world. I started up Priceza.com, one-stop shopping portal and price comparison shopping site in Thailand in 2010. With the mission to bring Thailand flag to out it in the six major countries in South-East Asia, we expanded Priceza into Indonesia in 2013 and to cover all six markets in 2015. In AKI Talk at Asian Knowledge Institute, I am invited to share my knowledge and experience of expanding business in ASEAN.
