Ubon Candle Festival

The Ubon Candle Festival is one of the most anticipated events of the year here in Ubon and was held yesterday. Features includes huge wax sculptures, a parade, boat race, beautiful traditional Thai dancing, a fair and wax sculptures from teams visiting the festival from out of Thailand; mainly Brazil, France and Nepal.

The Ubon Candle Festival wasn’t as impressive as the Sapporo Snow Festival, yet it was a lot of fun hanging out for the day and I would recommend visiting the festival next year, especially if you are already in Thailand.

Dan Tropical MBA

I’ve wanted to start a podcast for a while now, and as I’m getting into sourcing products and e-commerce, interviewing those in the know is as good a good place to start.

My first guest is Dan Andrews, co-founder of a product design company based in San Diago. Dan also runs the Topical MBA – a paid internship with a difference, and is the co-host of the Lifestyle Business Podcast.

Listen to learn dan’s views and advice on:

  • Designing products to market
  • Shipping and packaging products from China
  • Marketing products online and offline

I appologise the sound quaility and the strucutre is a little flaky (I didn’t even ask Dan where he could be found online!) – however I hope these will fall into place over time.
