Chuan Ratanarak
Chuan Ratanarak (Thai: ชวน รัตนรักษ์) (1920-1993) was a self-made Thai businessman who built one of the largest and most powerful business empires in Thailand. Starting with nothing, Chuan was one of the legendary generation of Chinese merchants in Thailand to achieve success in one generation. By the time of his death in August 1993, age 73, Chuan was at the head of one of the three dominant business families in Thailand - the others being the Sophonpanich family and the Lamsam family - and the business group Chuan had created, the Ratanarak Group, included Thailand’s most successful terrestrial broadcaster, a major retail banking and insurance group and the country’s second largest cement producer. Comparing Thai and US entrepreneurs, Professor Krishnamra, head of the Sasin Business School at Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University, has said “given the size of the market and the stage of development, Chuan as an entrepreneur was comparable to the Vanderbilts or Rockefellers”. Chuan is the father of Krit Ratanarak and the grandfather of Chachchon Ratanarak.
==Early years==
Chuan Ratanarak was born in China in 1920 as Lee Bak Chuan and came with his family to live in Thailand when he was age 6. In the 1940s, as a young man, he worked as a labourer at the Ratchawong pier in Bangkok’s docks. He saved his wages until he was able to buy his own ship and in a short period he established two of the most successful waterway transport companies of the time; Bangkok Transport and Bangkok Lighter.
Throughout the 1940s and 1950s Thailand’s Chinese community played a key role in business and commerce. Because of discriminatory anti-Chinese legislation in place from 1939 to 1957 under the pre and post-war premierships of Field Marshal Plaek Phibunsongkhram, and the uncertain political and business environment in post-war Thailand, it became necessary for Chinese business families to develop close business relationships with each other and with dominant military groups and powerful Thai families. In the early 1950s Chuan built particularly close relationships with among others the family of Field Marshal Praphas Charusathien〔 and Field Marshal Thanom Kittikachorn, who would serve as Prime Minister between 1963 and 1971 and again between 1972 and 1973.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.politicalbase.in.th/index.php/ชวน_รัตนรักษ์ )〕
