“Mother Cheng”—The very first wave of Thai business women

Thidarat “Mother Cheng” Ng is both a busy mother and a highly successful business woman. One of the first-wave Thai immigrants to Australia, she speaks to SBS Thai about her incredible life-and-business journeys, which, after four decades, have made her a towering figure in the Thai community, not only in Sydney but the entire Thai diaspora.
