Thirapong Chansiri, president of Thai Union Frozen Products, opts to keep fit with running.

His employees know that he runs whenever he has free time from expanding the seafood empire, which binds him to meetings, mostly with overseas clients.

The executive has recently developed a love for mini-marathons. These require both physical and mental strength.

Only healthy men can complete the 20-odd-km distance, and only those with peace of mind can stand to run in circles to complete the distance.

Golf is the choice of sport for Prakit Pradipasen, who serves as chairman of several companies. including Asian Marine Services and Diamond Roofing Tiles.

At 67 and despite titles in various companies, he manages to sneak out to golf courses.

Recently, he visited a course in Kunming, China, and made a surprise hole-in-one at the 13th. Of course, he was the first Thai who made his name known to golfers at the course.

Without physical strength, he would not have been able to finish the par-3 hole with a single stroke.

Another big fan of golf is Chanin Vongkusolkij, chief executive officer of Banpu.

His fascination with the sport became clear to reporters when Banpu recently hosted a press conference in Hua Hin. Despite his busy schedule and a late-night party, he managed to have a round of golf the next day. Accompanying him were veteran reporters transported from Bangkok to Hua Hin for this purpose.

They are just three examples of some successful businessmen who did not succumb to stress. What about you? Have a plan ready for this weekend?
