(the "Company") is a duly and legally organized and existing Nevada State Corporation, with its office and mailing address located at Foursons Inn, Rambutri Road Pra Nakorn Bangkok 10200 Thailand The Articles of Incorporation and corporate registration fees were submitted to the Nevada Secretary of State's office and filed with the office on January 27, 2010. The Company's existence and form is valid and legal and active pursuant to the representation above and from a review of the corporate filing information at the Nevada Secretary of States Office as can be reviewed at Nevada Secretary of States Office web site whose address is http://nvsos.gov/. 2. The Company is a fully and duly incorporated Nevada corporate entity. The Company has one class of Common Stock at this time. Neither the Articles of Incorporation, Bylaws, and amendments thereto, nor subsequent resolutions change the non-assessable characteristics of the Company's common shares of stock. The Common Stock previously issued by the Company is in legal form and in compliance with the laws of the State of Nevada, and when such stock was issued it was fully paid for and non-assessable. The common stock to be sold under this Form S-1 Registration Statement is likewise legal under the laws of the State of Nevada. 3. To our knowledge, the Company is not a party to any legal proceedings nor are there any judgments against the Company, nor are there any actions or suits filed or threatened against it or its officers and directors, in their capacities as such, other than as set forth in the registration statement. We know of no disputes involving the Company and the Company has no claim, actions or inquiries from any federal, state or other government agency, other than as set forth in the registration statement. We know of no claims against the Company or any reputed claims against it at this time, other than as set forth in the registration statement. 4. The Company's outstanding shares are all Common Shares. There is no liquidation preference right held by the present Shareholder upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation of the Company. 5. By directors' resolution, the Company has authorized the issuance of 2,500,000 shares of common stock for this offering. The Company's Articles of Incorporation presently set the authorized capital stock of the Company at 75,000,000 shares designated as Common Stock, with a $0.001 par value. Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that the shares being offered for sale and issuable by the Company pursuant to this Registration Statement will be duly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable when issued as contemplated by the registration statement.
