Manassawee Suangkaew (R) discusses the design with a staff member at her store in Bangkok, Thailand, Oct. 21, 2019. Young Thai clothing designers Nunthapong Boonnao and Manassawee Suangkaew used to run a store to sell clothes they create in the Thai capital. In 2018 they decided to close their store to set up an online clothing shop in Lazada, a major online shopping company in Southeast Asia. Founded in 2012, Lazada is now one of the regional leading e-commerce marketplaces. In 2016, China's e-commerce giant Alibaba acquired the controlling stakes of Lazada, and started to export new business strategies and cutting-edge technologies to the Southeast Asian platform.
