"Krating Daeng" The most successful company in Thailand

By and large, most people might exclaim that “I have never heard of this name” How about another name of it, which is called “Red Bull”. Surprisingly enough, Krating Daeng, which translates as “Red Bull” was introduced in 1987. Believe it or not, Thailand was the country of origin. Without a doubt, it is the most popular energy drink in the world so far. Looking back, The company was founded by Thai national Chaleo Yoovidhya and Austrian national Dietrich Mateschitz.  The former name is the second richest business people in Thailand with an estimated net worth of $4.0 billion.

  2. Cheers for that, Golf. I always thought it was a European company but after looking on Wikipedia I see it a joint venture with two Thai / Austrian business people (Thailand having the majority share).

    Very interesting! But sorry to say - I hate drinking it (and all other energy drinks).
