Yeah, try to invest in a successfull business that doesn't need investment.

If the aim of the business is to make money. Don't have a thai (or thailand) be involved in anypart of your business other than basic supply.

Organise every business contact you know of and work out what you can supply them with from this region.

Export, or export! Get the paperwork right or you will pay big money to get it out.

if its a success keep very quiet about it and plead poverty otherwise they will copy you and undercut you and drive you out of business . once they know its a success the jackals will hear about it and target you . mafia, police, burglars ,local drunks and head cases ,and jealous locals will be on your case..
