                Last night was the first night we ate alone.  We did Shabu Shabu.  And given the way ALL the staff stred at us all night, you would think that it was the first time they had seen Japanese - food was delicious…

                      Going through samples with Chnanon.  Poor Chnanon, he saw everything including stuff we knew he would not be interested in, Haraki he say, "I bought all this stuff with me and have not shown some of it at all, so today we show everything - make it worth me carrying it"..

                                Todays classic, and apologies to any French who may read this.

                                Over dinner tonight we had a European history lesson.  One of the thing I explained was the "Hunded Years War" between the English and the French.  Haraki's comment which Sarina had to translate between fits of giggles….

                                  Do not jump to conclusions and do not make assumptions…

                                  I have been talking to Pronto for some time now.  Indeed I met Chnanon, the owner, in Berlin lat summer.  A nicer more unassuming person you would be hard pressed to find.

                                  His low key bearing, combined with both his decision to concentrate on his home market and the fact that I have very few direct Thai customers, led me to assume, Pronto was a nice little niche denim store in a country with dubious demand for Japanese denim.

                                  I got an inkling of how wrong I was, when his orders started coming through, they are large.  I won't tell you how large, but I started to concentrate.

                                  This guy has 7 stores, with plans to open a few more this year.  I only saw two, but they were amongst the best I have seen anywhere.

                                  I popped into the Siam Square store today unannounced and on my own (the Japanese lightweights needed a rest).  Chnanon was there, so we got to talking.

                                  I asked some questions about how many of X, Y and Z he ordered.  The answers made my eyes water. When I told Haraki, his eyes popped.

                                  If I learned one thing from this trip it was do not judge a book by its cover.

                                      And yet Pronto is the only retailer in Thailand.
