Yes it was announced on his profile on June 24th and in one of the ceiling fan groupe. Very sad! He was only in his early thirties I believe. Do you know exactly what did he passed away of? I believe it's a heart failure but I'm not sure.

Although he seemed shy we had talked about meeting eventually. I would have really liked to meet him. I contacted him a few times to buy a Sunwindy SW103. At some point he was supossed to give me a quote for shipping one but later passed away.

I would still like to buy a Sunwindy SW103 though.

I asked in their thai fan group, he died of heart failure, he was 30 years and 2 months only

I wonder what happened to his fan collection after his death

I remember ur post regarding sunwindy, and i remember on my last bangkok trip i asked him if he had any fans for sale, he offered me but they were much more expensive than the first time, and that time as well he mentioned he was avoiding any sale of his fans out of thailand

I feel sorry about the loss of a fan collector in Thailand, I remember some of his older videos when I was younger.

Very sad.. Looks very young..

I remember when I watched his videos and subscribed to his channel, controls were interesting in his videos. I was shocked to hear him die, at age 30.

Jeez he died young.

When was your last trip to Bangkok? Did he gave a reason for avoiding to send fans outside of Thailand?

I also wonder what will happen to all his fans. He has an awesome collection. Here's his You Tube channel for those who haven't seen them yet or are not sure who we are referring to:

Summer 2019, he didnt specify any reason, but i expect it would be going through the burden of shipping.. especially that he stated he charges a lot more when he delivers the fans by car.. and bangkok is one of the most crowded cities ive ever seen.. it was also that year i discovered it would sometimes take less time to walk to a nearby mall than take a taxi
