I Thought Infinite Thailand Was Insane, Until I Couldn't Stop Thinking About It
A Letter from Harold Choi, COO of the Chinatown 3.0 Development Corporation.
When I first met Professor BB at the Transmitter Sprachschule in Berlin, I thought he was either a genius or completely mad. Possibly both.
I'm Harold Choi. Thai-Chinese, raised in Bangkok and Singapore, educated in Europe. Business school trained me to be skeptical, to run the numbers twice, to identify the flaw in every ambitious plan.
So when Professor BB started talking about hemispheric tunnelparks above Bangkok's highways, a customizable blockchain called GaoGaoGao, and 9% GDP growth for Thailand, my immediate reaction was: This is absurd.
The Problem with Reasonable Thinking
Then I saw Strategy #7: Chinatown 3.0 Development Corporation.
A cluster of international Chinese artists, hoteliers, chefs, and nightlife entrepreneurs. Not tourist traps or cultural museums, but living laboratories where contemporary Chinese creativity meets Thai urban dynamics.
My uncle owns three buildings in Bangkok's old Chinatown. When I mentioned this in the forum, I wasn't expecting much. Three days later, I was on a call with Professor BB, a Chulalongkorn architect, and a Teochew restaurateur from Berlin.
We weren't just discussing my uncle's properties. We were mapping how they could become the first test case for Chinatown 3.0 – a fusion space where international Chinese creatives could experiment without the constraints they face in mainland China or the high costs of Hong Kong and Singapore.
Six months later:
My uncle former textile warehouse has become "浮世" (Floating World), a three-story complex now ranked #3 on HISO magazine's "Top 10 Cultural Destinations in Southeast Asia." The ground floor houses "Teochow Now," a neo-bistro where Chef Lin Han fuses Teochew traditions with Thai ingredients—already booked solid two months in advance.
The second floor gallery, "Middle Kingdom Futures," secured exclusive representation of five contemporary Chinese artists who previously showed only in Berlin Their first Bangkok exhibition drew coverage from Wallpaper*, Monocle, and the South China Morning Post.
"cozy night" the third-floor club curated by two former Berghain DJs, was just named as HISO's Best Bangkok club for the third year straight.
The adjacent buildings have been transformed into "C3 Studios"—live/work spaces for visiting Chinese creatives that are now booked eleven months in advance, with a waitlist of over 140 applications.
A Singapore-based luxury hospitality group has purchased the entire block next door, with plans to build the first Chinatown 3.0-inspired boutique hotel.
The point? The 99 strategies aren't just theoretical. They're practical frameworks waiting for the right people to activate them. I brought property connections. Others brought creative networks, technical expertise, or financial backing.
This is how Infinite Thailand actually works – not through some magical plan that transforms Thailand overnight, but through the collision of specific strategies with the right combination of people and resources.
I'm still a numbers guy. I still question everything. But I've seen firsthand how a crazy-sounding strategy becomes reality when the right participants engage with it.
The Choice Before You
You have three options:
Dismiss this as fantasy and continue accepting Thailand's diminishing returns
Subscribe at the Standard level (150 THB monthly) to access the strategies and join the discourse
Join as a Founder (990 THB monthly) to get a first look at all investment opportunities.
Whatever you choose, I ask only one thing: Tell someone else about this vision. Not because we need more subscribers, but because Thailand needs more people who can imagine its transformation.
As Mai’s grandmother says, "The real magic wasn't in the coin at all. The real magic was helping people believe that Thailand could become something more than what it was."
I no longer think Professor BB is insane. I think he's seen something the rest of us have been conditioned not to see: the possibility of Infinite Thailand.
Will you see it too?
With open eyes,
Harold Choi,
managing director,
COO of the Chinatown 3.0 Development Corporation.
