A Message from Ritchie
2007 proved to be a very successful year for Ritchie and Rino Entertainment. The addition of new talent into his agency was mirrored by the addition of new clients. This growth is accented by the opening of two new offices in southern Thailand. This growth is possible in part due to the alliance with ThaiAm Entertainment. This cooperative working relationship has been more successful than anyone thought possible. This success is the beginning of a long term relationship. None of this success would be possible without the tremendous support Ritchie receives from his legends of fans. Ritchie and his family extends a personal wish for a safe and happy holiday as well as a prosperous new year for each and every fan.
Success in Korat
The Ritchie Newton’s ELVIS Show took Korat by storm as it performed for 10 consecutive days during the Southeast Asian Games, December 6-15. This was the first ever Elvis show in Korat hosted by Chez Andy’s Restaurant. Ritchie extends a heartfelt thanks to Chez Andy and his superb staff for a job well done. Ritchie will return to Korat at the end of April 2008 performing once again at Chez Andy’s during the Cobra Gold War Games, a joint training exercise with the US and Thai military. Here are the pics.
Ritchie expands Rino Entertainment
2007 was a year of growth and expansion for Rino Entertainment as Ritchie opens new offices in Krabi and Korat provinces Thailand. Both Krabi and Korat provinces are in great need for quality entertainment. The demand has been so great opening the new offices was a must. Both provinces are developing at a tremendous rate, and outlets for Rino Entertainment were the only real option to provide quality entertainment at competitive prices. With these latest expansions Rino Entertainment now has offices in five (5) provinces of Thailand. Rino Entertainment is now represented in Suratthani (Samui), Phuket, Chonburi (Pattaya), Krabi & Korat.
