What makes One's reality show so tempting for Thais

Netflix is now airing The Apprentice: ONE Championship Edition reality show in its entirety in Thailand.

The first season of One Championship's rendition of the popular reality show sees 16 candidates battle it out in business and martial arts challenges to win a US$250,000, one-year contract to work under One chairman and CEO Chatri Sityodtong in Singapore.

Having said that, here are three reasons you should binge watch the show.

Thai candidate

The Apprentice features 16 candidates from across the world, but one of them happens to be a Thai journalist -- Teirra Kamolvattanavith.

Teirra was raised in Bangkok but went to study in California before returning to Thailand to work in the news industry.

She'll match her skills against those of the other 15 candidates who come from backgrounds in aviation, public relations, martial arts, and more.

Guest appearances

The global candidates won't be the only faces on the show. Throughout the duration of the season, the contestants will work under the watchful eyes of CEOs like Grab's Anthony Tan, Zoom's Eric Yuan, and, of course, Chatri.

Moreover, the candidates will also be pushed to their limits physically by the guest martial artists who will appear on the show. One atomweight world champion Angela Lee, former One heavyweight world champion Brandon Vera, and many more world-class athletes will make their presence known on the show.

No shortage of drama

With a $250,000 job offer on the line, there will be no shortage of drama on the show.

Although the global bunch will work together in two different groups, eventually those groups will dwindle down as people are eliminated. And eventually, the candidates will be forced to work against each other.

This is sure to create friction as they vie for a shot to learn under one of the martial arts world's most significant businessmen.
