Anh Do and his family fled to Australia as refugees in In his autobiography, The Happiest Refugee , Do tells of how his family survived five days in a leaky fishing boat nine and a half metres long and two metres wide.

During the trip his family and the rest of the passengers were attacked by two different bands of pirates. The first group stole one of the two engines and the second group of pirates stole the second engine, which had been broken but repaired by Do's father using a piece of rubber from a thong. It was reported that as the second band of pirates left, one of them threw a gallon of water onboard which kept all but one of the refugees alive, until they were finally rescued by a German merchant ship.

The boat was packed with 40 Vietnamese refugees fleeing across the Indian Ocean. Do's family settled in the Sydney suburb of Yagoona. When he was 14 he started a small business breeding tropical fish. While studying his first year of law at the University of Technology, Sydney, he owned a stall which sold American Indian artifacts, which he later expanded to four franchised stores.
