As tourists they seek to fulfill a dream, a myth which becomes a reality, that the grass is greener on the other side. The myth of Koh-Samui, in the South of Thailand being a Shangri La is becoming a reality for many tourists who have become disillusioned with the concept of consumerism and yearn for a lost part of their innocence, their hope that in this small island of dreams, there still live genuine people not tarnished by greed and selfishness. I was born and raised in Koh Samui, in the South of Thailand, not many people have heard about this small but beautiful island due to the fact that there are many larger ones like Phuket and Pattaya, but from having no roads in the late 1960’s, to having over 2 million visitors this tiny island has brought economic upheavals to the lives of many natives and Thai people who come to work. The first hotel that was built in Koh Samui was managed by my mother and is called the First Bungalow, I remember telling my mother when I was a little child that there should be some way of giving back to society, due to the disparity in my country. I have always been involved in social and community work in Koh Samui, helping the homeless people by providing them with food which is otherwise wasted from the hotels. My father has tirelessly served the community and in recognition for his efforts has been elected as the Governor of Koh-Samui for over 12 years. With great power also comes great responsibility and through my father’s help I was able to encourage all hotels in Koh Samui to donate their food to the homeless and least fortunate of the society. Thailand has always been marketed as a destination where sex tourism is accepted and unfortunately although this is true especially in the capital Bangkok, my small efforts have paid off to reduce this trade in Koh-Samui. This is where my passion lies and this is where I intend to contribute in my community by being able to market Koh Samui as an island of dreams, and not as a sex destination. During my study i had training in Hotel Chalet Royal, Switzerland which is the seasonal hotel. I was working in the housekeeping department for 4 months. After graduating in Hotel and Tourism Management from Cesar Ritz College in Switzerland, I began working in the Marketing and Sales department of a Four star property which is owned by my family, the Nora Beach Resort and Spa. I was able to use politics in a positive way and through the governor’s office was able to promote a zero tolerance policy on advertising and promotion of Koh-Samui by business houses, in a negative way, instead focussing on a tourist destination for family and honey moon going couples, and not a sex destination. I have a passion for marketing and I know that with the knowledge and wisdom which I will gain after successfully completing the Master’s degree in Marketing Management from your prestigious university, I will be able to make a difference. With your help by being a marketing professional and utilizing the management concepts I will be able to reach a vast international audience and send the right message and thus in a small way save Koh-Samui.
