จากนักเรียนต่างชาติสู่เจ้าของร้านปิ้งย่างไทยแบบป๊อปอัพ

Bell is a Thai international student in Adelaide who became an entrepreneur while still studying. She already had a Thai dessert brand and ran several small ventures around the city. Most recently she joined forces with a business partner who used to be a Thai chef at a local restaurant to open a Thai-style BBQ and hotpot 'pop-up' over winter, testing the market to see whether it could become permanent. She named the venue with a Thai word evoking luck and good fortune. The early response beat expectations, especially from fellow Thais, as she notes the place has been really popular in the Thai community and the feedback has been good. She and her team plan to grow it into a late-night weekend hangout with live Thai music and the buzz of Thai street-food culture. For her, starting with a pop-up is a way to test an idea against the real market without risking a big investment up front.
