The end of assignment

Woooo!! finally we have reached the end of our assignment

but our last one is a big one

Research proposal!!

My topic still be "The role of sponsorship for the survival of the karting race"
Mainly i focus on how to approch the target company to become an event sponsor.
I will do questionnaire and interview both in Thailand

Thailand here i come!!! I will be collecting data in Thailand at the
end of this month and will be back in august.

So good luck to you guy cuase i have already submitted!!

Super Kart Thailand

SKT or Super Kart Thailand is a kart racing tounament which arrange every year for the past 8 years.

It all start with Khun Kitti who use to be a racer for amost 10 years and he decided to become a dealer of karting manufacturing from both Japan and Italy. Khun Kitti said he want to turn his hobby in business. After he became a dealer, he has quite a lot of clients so he consider to arrange a racing to his client to have fun with karting that they bought from him. Anf the racing become bigger and bigger because the concept of race like we are the same family.

SKT is one of three organizer in Thailnad. The number of racer who atten each is around 50 up.

SKT is a racing which build for having fun so the sponsorship is from th company of the racer themself. More like a flavor than sponsors. But the one and only main sponsorship is TRUE coraporation which is a major media company in Thailamd.

One sponsor wasn't enough for the growing racing. But it is really hard to find sponsorship in economic like this espacialy for an unfamous sport like karting?

So my dissertation question would be:

- how to make sponsor believe that they will get benefit from invest on SKT?

- how to measure benefit?

This is only a dralf idea!!!

I hav so many book to read before consider something!!!

Ps. the first book that i read is"Sponsorship: For a return on investment"

from Guy Mastermand and there is a picture of a racing car on it so

I consider that is a good sign for me ^^

Direct changing for my dissertation

Woo i finally know who my professor is!!

And he is Frac~~ my project management teacher who look a bit like Jim carry (it'a compliment though)

I've got a chance to speak to him about my idea for dissertation but he think comparing is quite too complicate and too many works too be done and it not suitable for MA dissertation and even comparing to Glastunbury music festival which is huge!!

Only Glastonbury information can be written in a book!!

The topic should hav changed~~

So after the discussion i decide to that my topic will be

"The role of sponsorship for the survival of the Karting Race"

ps. i've got homework!!!

Is to read many many many and many book about sponsorship as possible!!!

My idea for dissertation

From my last post i mention about Fat festival in Thailand. And in this post i will talk about The world most famous music festival "Glastonbury" .My i dear for dissertation is "Is fat festival have a potential to become the world most famous music festival like Glastonbury".

The Glastonbury Festival of Contemporary Performing Arts, commonly abbreviated to Glastonbury or Glasto, is one of the largest music and performing arts festivals in the world. The festival is best known for its contemporary music, but also features dance, comedy, theatre, circus, cabaret and many other arts. For 2005, the enclosed area of the festival was over 900 acres (3.6 km²), had over 385 live performances and was attended by around 150,000 people. In 2007, over 700 acts played on over 80 stages and the capacity expanded by 20,000 to 177,000.[

Glastonbury was heavily influenced by hippy ethics and the free festival movement in the 1970s, especially the Isle of Wight Festival. Organiser Thosore Plunkett stated that he decided to host the first festival, then called Pilton Festival, after seeing an open air Led Zeppelin concert at the Bath Festival of Blues and Progressive Music 1970 at the nearby Bath and West Showground in 1970. The festival retains vestiges of this tradition, including the Green Futures/Healing Fields area.

The Glastonbury Festival 2009 will take place on the 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th and 28th June 2009. In marked contrast with previous years, some tickets went on sale on 5th October 2008 with pre-registered customers able either to pay in full, or place a £50 reserve deposit to be paid by February 1st.
The headliners have not been anounced, but Emily Eavis has gone as far to say that U2, Coldplay and Rolling Stones are definitely not playing. Currently rumoured to be headlining are The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Neil Young, Blur, Bruce Springsteen and Kanye West. Unsigned Liverpool band Major Major became the first confirmed band for the festival after winning an unsigned band competition. Rolf Harris has been confirmed to be playing
Over half of next years festivals tickets have already been sold, as an early batch was released on October 5th

My first intership in event

In my third year for my bachelor degree, I have been participate in one of Thailand's most famous music festival "Fat festival"


Fat festival was organized by one of the leading radio company. It start for a small event in year 2002 and became more and more popular every year. "Fat fest" is a combination between concert, market and an opportunity for artist to meet their customer. In fat fest you can always see a popular singles sell their CD to fans by themselves. It is a really faun festival


I was honored when i first heard that they choose me to work with them for fat fest 6. i was just a student who always be in fat fest as an audience but for this time i will be able to work with them and have a chance to learn how this big event hold.


My position is AR which is Artist relation. My duty is to take care all the artist that will perform in my stage (There are always many stage divide by category in fat fest) It was so thrilled to be so close to popular artists. Some of them are my favorite but i have to act professional and threat them equally.I have to make sure that they understand the schedule and i have to do everything that i can to make the schedule on time even if it mean that i have to run over to their car and park the car for them. But not all of them have to be difficult. I found that most of them are easy to work with.


It was a 2 day event and by the end of our work beside the fact that i'm so exhausted that i want to throw my self to my bed , I feel that working in event is really fun and i can say that Fat fest make me want to work in events industries!!!
