1. Threading Hair Removal
Background
Along Charoen Krung Road (near Bangkok’s Chinatown), there are street-side threading (epilation) hair removal service, an alternative to hair removal by wax seen as some high-end spas.
Their technique is basically the use of tighten thread to roll on the customers; faces, plucking hair off at follicle level.
They boast that not only this remove facial hairs but also exfoliate dead skin cells, given the skin nice complexion and rid of unwanted blemishes.
Many customers also back this claim, saying that their skin complex improved significantly after each session.
“You have to try this yourself to learn about it” one customer, a middle aged lady, told us.
According to the sign put up by the practitioners themselves, their technique could be dated back to more than one hundred years in China as it was invented during the time of Empress Dowager Cixi (1835-1908). However, there is no historical proof to back this.

Why are they entrepreneurial?
They are entrepreneurial because they offer cheap facial hair service to low-income customers in the area; bridging a service normally offered at premium spa facilities and the poor.

2. Shut Up In Love
In trying a restaurant near Kao San with some other
exchange students, a sudden familiar sound hit me. No doubt, it sounds like French.
A French guy from France, definitely. After interrupting this conversation, I
just have a few words with these fellows, and one of the two gives me a card.
Without paying much attention to this common item, I just put it in my wallet,
indifferent to the world but my plate of falafels. I don’t know if this
restaurant can be seen as an entrepreneurial, but the Israeli food is
wonderful.
After being assigned to find entrepreneurs, this card
which was kindly waiting for its time began to burn my butt as hell. Forced to acknowledge
what was happening down there, I read this card. It was written “ShutUpInLove”.
This French guy was a designer, a t-shirt creator, came to Bangkok to try to
run a business with his ex-girlfriend.
With almost no resources, they succeeded in settling a
slowly growling business in the area of the Baiyoke Tower 2, thanks to
originals t-shirts, ruled by international laws. In a country where everything
is fake, where children can be employed, they chose to support a fair business.
Workers are treated in the same ways than others countries, with no child
labor, and all the quality requirements for the product (paintings, cotton, pigmentation
…) are fulfilled.
Thanks to this labor price which stays much lower than
the international average, they combine high quality t-shirts with low price,
for the international market. Glad to have met an entrepreneur in a random
place. And I got a new t-shirt in my wardrobe.
