Ko je Andrew Stocks kot 18-letnik zapustil domači Devon, se je podal v popolnoma neznano okolje. Tajska je bila zanj nova destinacija, ki je pred tem sploh ni obiskal, za seboj pa je pustil družino brez zagotovila, da se bo še vrnil.
Kljub mladosti ni odšel brez sredstev. Že kot najstnik je z vlaganjem v nepremičnine zaslužil približno 300.000 evrov, kar mu je omogočilo prve korake v tujini. Vendar začetek ni bil lahek – denar je hitro kopnel, kar ga je prisililo, da je hitro poiskal nove priložnosti.

Prelomnica je prišla, ko je spoznal lokalnega razvijalca in investiral v svoj prvi projekt – resort in spa, namenjen tujim upokojencem. Ta poteza je zaznamovala začetek njegove podjetniške poti na Tajskem.

Milijonski posel in življenje v Aziji
Danes podjetje Andrew Stocks upravlja šest hotelov in resortov, vključno z luksuznimi vilami, obdanimi s tropskimi vrtovi. Njegovo premoženje presega 20 milijonov evrov, a sam poudarja, da je večina denarja vezana v nepremičninah, saj ga nenehno reinvestira.
Po njegovem mnenju Tajska ponuja življenjski slog, ki ga mnogi Evropejci težko izkusijo doma. Prav zato verjame, da bi se še več ljudi iz Združenega kraljestva lahko odločilo za selitev. Kljub temu da ostaja ponosen na svoje britanske korenine, se v domovino najverjetneje ne bo vrnil. Prepričan je, da mu je prav odhod v tujino omogočil uspeh, ki ga v domačem okolju ne bi dosegel.
