Infinite Thailand Strategies: Performance Office
Infinite Thailand Strategy #6
At first glance, the 99 strategies that comprise Infinite Thailand seem impossible. Take Strategy #1: The Bangkok Tunnelparks. A 30-kilometer network of hemispheric tunnels covering Bangkok's inner-city highways with continuous parks above? The cost estimate alone—7.14 billion USD—seems to place it firmly in the realm of fantasy. And that's just one of ninety-nine equally ambitious strategies.
How could such transformative projects ever get started?
The answer lies in an unexpected combination: blockchain technology and performance art. More specifically, in what I'll call an "institutional spectacle"—the manifestation, through performance, of an imaginary institution that just might become real.
Enter the Infinite Thailand Strategies Performance Office and Hypermarket.
Picture this: You're walking through a Bangkok mall when you notice something different. Behind a storefront with walls entirely covered in cork, nine people are working in what appears to be an unusual kind of office. Some are recording podcasts, others are painting, and in the back, there seems to be some kind of seminar taking place. Above the entrance glows a curious neon sign: ∞泰
This is not your typical office. It's a three-week performance piece where eighteen performers embody a consulting company dedicated to achieving what seems impossible: helping Thailand achieve GDP per capita parity with Spain within nine years through the implementation of those 99 Infinite Thailand Strategies.
But here's where it gets interesting: this isn't just performance for performance's sake. The Performance Office serves a very specific purpose: to build momentum and support for GaoGaoGao, a customizable blockchain platform designed to make these seemingly impossible strategies possible.
Every day for twenty-seven days, the performance unfolds across multiple layers:
Daily Events:
Workshops where visitors can design their own Tunnelparks or educational journeys
Seminars on topics ranging from "The History and Future of Arcology" to "Blockchain-based Public Financing"
Evening mixers where Bangkok's creative class can network and dream up collaborations
Daily Creations:
A podcast episode exploring one of the strategies
New artifacts pinned to those cork-covered walls
Updates to the "hypermarket"—a carefully curated collection of products that hint at Infinite Thailand's potential
Long-term Projects:
Development of a luxury magazine called HI-SO, filled with visualizations of these strategies
Creation of a film script for Bangwood Studios (another strategy)
Most importantly: preparation of the investment proposal for the Infinite Thailand Fund
The performance isn't just about creating a spectacle—it's about creating belief. Each day, as more people interact with the "office," the line between performance and reality begins to blur. The strategies, laid out in detailed presentations and beautiful renderings on those cork walls, begin to feel less like fantasy and more like an achievable future.
This is where GaoGaoGao enters the picture. The blockchain platform isn't just another cryptocurrency—it's a customizable system that allows aligned investors to directly support specific strategies. Want to help fund the Tunnelparks? You can direct your GaoGaoGao tokens specifically to that project. Interested in developing Thailand's film industry? Your tokens can support the Bangwood Academy, Studios, and Theaters initiatives.
The genius of this approach lies in its transparency and participatory nature. Through the blockchain interface, investors can see exactly how their coins are being spent, follow specific projects from conception to completion, and even help shape the direction of development.
But how does a performance art piece in a mall lead to actual transformation? Here's the cascade of events we envision:
The Performance Office creates buzz. Social media lights up with images of the strange consulting firm with its cork walls and ambitious plans. Local media picks up the story: "Performance Art or Thailand's Future?"
The daily seminars and mixers bring together Bangkok's creative class, tech entrepreneurs, and traditional business leaders. Conversations that would never have happened begin to take place. A property developer meets a blockchain expert meets an urban planner meets an artist.
The detailed plans and visualizations, particularly for projects like the Tunnelparks, begin circulating among decision-makers. The performance provides cover for serious discussions about seemingly impossible projects: "Yes, it's part of an art piece, but look at these numbers..."
The preparation for GaoGaoGao's private coin offering gains legitimacy through this public performance. The nine principles needed to fund the initial three-year runway begin to emerge from these networks of interaction.
As the performance concludes, it transitions seamlessly into the launch of the actual GaoGaoGao platform. The networks formed during those twenty-seven days become the initial community of investors and supporters.
The success of early projects funded through GaoGaoGao—perhaps starting with smaller-scale initiatives—begins to demonstrate the viability of the larger strategies.
Eventually, what started as performance art evolves into reality. The institution that was once performed becomes real, the strategies that seemed impossible begin manifestation, and Infinite Thailand starts to emerge.
Is this guaranteed to work? Of course not. But consider the alternative: how else could such ambitious transformation begin? Sometimes, to make the impossible possible, you need to perform it first. You need to create a space where people can experience the future before it exists, where they can rehearse new possibilities before they become real.
The Performance Office creates exactly this kind of space. For twenty-seven days, it offers Bangkok a glimpse of what could be. It's not just about the strategies themselves—it's about creating the conditions where such strategies become thinkable, fundable, possible.
And perhaps that's the real genius of the Performance Office: it understands that before you can build a Tunnelpark or launch a film industry or create a new Chinatown, you first need to build possibility itself. You need to expand what people believe can be done.
Through the marriage of performance art and blockchain technology, the impossible begins to feel inevitable. And that's exactly where transformation begins.
