Nattawut worked at a repair stall inside Pantip Plaza — Bangkok's famous electronics market — earning ฿12,000 per month. He watched tourists pay ฿4,000–฿6,000 for screen replacements and iPhone repairs every single day. The shop earned ฿400,000+ monthly. His share: ฿12,000.
He saved for 18 months, put ฿120,000 aside, and made his move to Sukhumvit Soi 11 — the heart of Bangkok's expat and tourist district, where premium devices were everywhere and professional service was genuinely scarce.
Opening With a System
Nattawut's first priority was not tools or parts — it was the system. He signed up for RepairCoreX on the free plan before he had a single customer.
"Sukhumvit customers — tourists from Europe and the US, expats, Bangkok professionals — are not impressed by a clean shop alone. They want documentation. They want a receipt they can show to insurance. They want to communicate in English."
RepairCoreX gave him digital job tickets, English invoices, and LINE and WhatsApp notifications. His multilingual capability (Thai, English, basic Japanese) plus a professional system made him genuinely unique on Sukhumvit.
Month by Month
A hotel concierge in Soi 11 started sending guests to Nattawut exclusively — one relationship that generated 20–30 tourist referrals per month.
His Life Today
Nattawut earns ฿450,000–฿500,000 monthly net. He employs 2 technicians and 1 receptionist. He has a second location planned for the Nana/Asok area.
"Bangkok is full of premium devices and almost no professional repair shops," he says. "The market is completely open. If you have skill and a system, you can build something extraordinary here."
The free plan is where his story started. It can be where yours begins today.
