Jack Ma makes a phenomenal success again. During his high-profile trip to Thailand which gained heavy media attention, the businessman announced he would invest more than 11 billion baht in the country.
Now everyone talks about him. At some bookstores, the book titled Alibaba: The House that Jack Ma Built was at the front display. As if he waved a magic wand, 80,000 Thai Mon Thong durians, a combined weight of 200,000 kilogrammes, were sold on his e-commerce Tmall in just one minute.
Back in 2015, his e-commerce giant Alibaba Group was on the list of top foreign companies the Thai government wanted to lure into the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC), the special economic zone in the eastern region aimed at building up a digital- and innovation-based economy.
