Bangkok--May 19--
Family Know-How Co. Ltd. (FKH), a subsidiary of The Stock Exchange of Thailand (SET), is preparing to stage various activities during Money Expo 2005, scheduled for May 19-22 at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Event-goers will be able to get acquainted with the economics and investment channel “Money Channel: All about your money”, that will conduct screen tests for potential anchors. There will be special discounts for new subscribers of Money & Wealth magazine as well as many other interesting activities taking place.
Mr. Ratchapol Laovanitch, acting Managing Director of FKH, revealed that FKH’s booth at ‘Money Expo 2005: Brighter Future’ will be different from those in past years, as it will be focusing on the new economics and investment “Money Channel: All about your money”. The new TV station, run by FKH, started broadcasting April 29, 2005 on Thai TV Global Network (TGN), which viewers can watch on UBC97. The booth will have a broadcast studio and will run several live programs, such as the “Investment Clinic”, “Smart Money” and “New Frontier”. Programming will go on air daily, Monday through Friday, from 14.10-17.00 hrs., allowing event-goers to see for themselves all the working processes needed to broadcast a TV program, from preparation to the actual broadcast, including the behind-the-scenes technical and graphic design activities as well as the before-camera hosting of shows. In addition, for fair-visitors interested in pursuing TV careers, FKH will also hold screen tests at 18.00 hr. daily to select potential anchors to join the Money Channel. All who participate in screen tests will receive a token souvenir.
Mr. Ratchapol said that, in addition to all the activities based around the Money Channel, M&W magazine will be making special offers to those who subscribe to the magazine for one or two years. In addition to souvenirs, new subscribers will receive a THB4,000 voucher that can be used in the purchase of a “Samart” satellite dish, which usually costs THB12,733. FKH invited Samart Corporation Plc to join the fair to help those wishing to watch the Money Channel, which also broadcasts on the KU Band. Fair-visitors can also take a chance at winning this special voucher at all booths in Money Expo 2005. Each booth will give out 5 vouchers daily.
Relating to the “Money Management Awards” or “MM Awards” competition, an MM Ambassador will be selected to help promote sound and efficient personal financial management. This year’s competition, which is the third of its kind, has been well received and will be presented at Money Expo 2005. Applications to become the MM Ambassador will be accepted throughout the fair. Applicants must be not more than 25 years old, and in their 3rd year at any university, or higher, or have already graduated. Applicants do not have to have a background in finance, but must be daring and looking for new experiences and friends. MM Award applications can be obtained at the FKH booth, which is in the front of the Ballroom.
For other interesting activities inside the Ballroom, the SET has asked Family Know-How to hold the stage play “Chan Ei — Chan Chao … Mai Ko Kao — Ko Gaeng” (No More Wishing Upon the Moon), which tells a story that promotes family love and warmth. The show features actor Tok — Suppakorn Kijsuwan, and Klot Attaseri, as well as many other talented actors. Two shows are scheduled per day at 10.00-11.45 hrs. and 14.00-15.45 hrs., except on May 19, as the opening ceremony will take place in the morning. Altogether, there will be 7 shows and 3,500 seats available in total. Tickets can be acquired by making only a small donation (to four charity foundations) of THB40, that will also make you eligible to receive an investment manual worth more than THB100. Those who miss the live show can tune into the Money Channel for the taped program soon. End.
