Harvard grad Banthoon Lamsam is chairman and CEO of Kasikorn Bank that his grandfather Choti Lamsam founded in 1945 as Thai Farmers' Bank, and which he's been running since 1992. Chaired for more than two decades by uncle Banyong who stepped down last year, the bank has featured among Forbes Global 2000 leading companies. Today, the storied clan's other biggest asset is privately-held Muang Thai Life Assurance, a rival to Vanich Chaiyawan's (No.6) Thai Life. Staunch feng shui believer, Banthoon plays the saxophone. He's recently published a 608-page novel.
