    I truly admire Mr. Dhanin and I love the CP brand food. He's really has done so much for Thailand and Southeast Asia. If only he could teach his style and techniques to Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra and to the rest of the Thai government. Then this would be called Really Amazing Thailand!:)

    "To get rich is glorious. So is helping poor farmers," Mr Dhanin says. The last time I checked, all the farmers in Isaan are poorer than ever. Which poor farmers exactly has he helped?

    He was the first to invest in China after the Cultural Revolution. Not surprise that up to today China loves this loyal overseas Chinese. He knows how to enrich the poor and on the way enrich himself. His motto is to achieve a win-win situation and yet with strong moral fibre. No sin business in his portfolio. May he live long!
