The British entrepreneur who made it in Thailand

This is not a book about luck. It is not a book about privilege, comfort, or a life arranged neatly on a silver tray.

This is a book about resilience. It is the story of a boy who left school early, walked away from the familiar, and stepped beyond the borders of England — choosing a life on the far side of the world armed with nothing but courage, instinct, and a restless, unshakeable heart.

It is a story shaped by:
• extraordinary highs
• devastating lows
• bold risks
• loyal friendships
• quiet sacrifices
• and a dream that refused to die

t is the journey of a man who built villages, hotels, a golf course, a brand, a movement, and eventually a legacy — not through perfection, but through an unwavering willingness to stay brave, stay kind, and stay profoundly human in a world that often rewards the opposite.

You will read about success that arrived early, fortune that grew quickly, and a lifestyle most people only glimpse in glossy magazines — private jets, yachts, penthouses, and a life lived beneath bright lights.

And you will read how, in one moment of global chaos, it all came crashing down. This is the story of the rise, the fall, the rebuilding, and the rebirth. It is the evolution of a simple idea — one that grew far beyond business and into something deeply personal, purposeful, and transformative.

From Colchester to Thailand — from a young boy with oversized dreams to the creator of Sunshine International — this is the story of a man who never stopped moving forward, even when the world around him stood still.
