How a Thai Entrepreneur Turned Farming into a Mission-Driven Brand

How a Thai Entrepreneur Turned Farming into a Mission-Driven Brand In this episode, I sit down with Ploy, a Thai entrepreneur who grew up on a ginger farm in northern Thailand and later worked in corporate digital marketing before walking away to build a mission-driven vegan brand rooted in sustainability, culture, and community impact. We talk about growing up on a farm, learning English through Mary Poppins and classic rock, corporate burnout, and how discovering a powerful mushroom growing under rubber trees led to creating products designed to support Thai farmers and stabilize income in rural communities. Ploy also shares what it’s been like rebuilding after devastating floods in southern Thailand, navigating beauty standards, dating as a Thai woman who doesn’t fit the mold, and redefining success outside traditional expectations. This conversation is honest, funny, and eye-opening for anyone curious about life in Thailand, purpose-driven entrepreneurship, sustainability, or starting over on your own terms. 🎙️ All of the Things Podcast with OnJaLee LaShay Real conversations on healing, self-love, resilience, and life abroad… all of the things.
