Jenvit Chayavoraprapa is the brain behind Buddy group, which operates in two industries: hotels and resorts, along with pubs and restaurants, in high-demand locations such as the Chao Phraya riverside and the city center. Aside from dominating Thailand’s entertainment and nightlife scene with hip venues popular with the young crowd, he has also put on major events ranging from parties to concerts, featuring famous Thai artists such as The Toys. In the year ahead, the group will be launching new hotels and restaurants aimed at millennial travellers, opening Bangkok’s doors to increasingly savvy globetrotters. Jenvit’s hope is that the group’s services will be integrated into the lifestyles of expats and travellers across the country.
