Second generation, taking over from my father and building forward
Same roots. New perspective.
Tanakrit Khajornkovit
From civil engineering to finance and the next chapter of a family business.
Engineering starts with structure. Finance adds a view of the relationships between decisions and their consequences.
Those interests meet in the work of a family business: the spaces people work in and the systems that carry information between them.

Vision
I believe people should make decisions about their cars from information that is sincere and easy to understand, not just a sales pitch. So I talk like a friend you can ask for advice, and show both the reasons and the options. That is how caring for a car and choosing a film become confident, safe and truly worth it for everyone.
- WHY
- I want people to get real value from the money they put into their cars and the safety it buys, with information that is sincere and easy to understand, so they decide with confidence instead of being carried away by advertising.
- HOW
- I work as an easy-going adviser: advice backed by reasons, options compared straight, and film and car care made reachable for anyone, while keeping things positive and respectful of the people watching.
- WHAT
- I talk about and serve the automotive business, above all window film, paint protection film, colour change, stickers and car care such as car detailing and coatings, and make content that leaves people feeling that before they do anything to their car, they should talk to P first.
Positioning
A friend who advises on cars.
Easy to talk to, explained in plain words, with jokes and a character of its own, but with advice drawn from reasons and real experience, so a decision feels comfortable and sure.
CREDIBLE
Trustworthy
Real knowledge, and responsibility for the advice given.
FRIENDLY
Easy-going
An easy manner that makes people bold enough to ask, and safe doing it.
SAVAGE
Sharp-tongued, within limits
A sharp tongue that knows its limits, which gives P depth and makes him easy to remember.
Voice
I am not here to sell. I am here to help, and to choose with you until you are sure, the way a real conversation goes.
Talk about a project, exchange perspectives, or start something new together.
