If you give up a home that you own in the UK then you really are setting yourself up for failure, why not rent it out and live out here from the rent while you decide what to do?Originally Posted by DISCOMAN
my advice would be to get onto the TD legend somtumslapper bloke and get him to set up a buisness plan for you.(for a modest fee of course)
I bid for bankrupt companies stock and then sell it online in bulk.Originally Posted by DISCOMAN
(Nothing to do with Thailand)
With your legion background, maybe you would be better off in Vietnam fleecing the natives as a bit of a payback.
Disco Fella. Of course there are opportunities in Thailand, but it comes with risks greater than those back at home. I like you also left the UK because I’d had enough. And likewise my first idea was to start a business to earn some money. Unfortunately I followed the bar-life bandwagon despite being tea total. It came with heaps of trouble from the local mafia and eventually from my ex whom I met in the UK who turned out to be an evil sadistic bitch 2 years into our relationship. I lost just over 1.5 million and nearly new car! I also thought I could trust her.
However, despite the advice here which is just that, there are possibilities in business, but invest no more than you're prepared to lose. Firstly, if you do not have the credentials it will be very hard to set a business up legally in your name. The alternative is to put absolute trust in your partner while you sit in the background.
As for business ideas depending on your cash input, a car wash is a good investment. My wife specializes in international business development and only recently helped setup 5 car wash businesses for friends and family (2 foreigners) who have all turned out to be very successful, and this is her next personal venture. Investment raged from 200k to 1.5 million. And similar to one poster here known in the US for his business skills, my wife is also know for turning poorly run businesses into extremely successful ones.
Despite loosing what I did on my business venture here, I have no regrets whatsoever. But as I mentioned before, only invest what you are prepared to loose. And do make sure you have people you can trust.
No disrespect and I don’t know how much you know of this Thai lady, but many can be very deceptive. If you have started the bells ringing already with your plans to set a business up here, just be prepared for things to take an unexpected turn in your relationship.
You bullied, you laughed, you lied, you lost!

Great quote,Good idea regarding the car washOriginally Posted by Jesus Jones
^ gee digit thats you fucked![]()
A car wash business ... they don't make a lot a cash in the UK so how could it be good in Thailand ... If i sold stuff i would make a web-site wish i can do in a few hours work
You would be surprised how much they make in the U.K,When people are driving sports or company cars they do not think twice about spending £20/30 forOriginally Posted by DISCOMAN
the gold package,Plus the average punter paying atleast a £10 a time.
Again in Thailand you would have to trust your staff with the money,And if successful
you would find a Thai version open up 5 yards away
The first thing to get out of your head is that this is not the UK. Thais are very different when it comes to their vehicles. How a car looks is more important than looking after their home.
The website idea is set to fail from day one unless you have a niche product. I assume your looking at minimum investment with maximum gains? Good luck with the website idea.

I can't say how much personally. But I’ve inspected car wash places with my wife in the past, and the turn-around is many and constant. Normally they'll be around 10 staff; wages very low and at least 4-5 cars in the line. Prices range from 200 to 500 bht per wash, or 1000k plus for Lambos and Ferraris. My bro-in law has an exotic dealer nearby which helps. On this one stretch of road there are 6 car washes. All are very busy. Additionally, all have coffee shops attached which brings in extra income.
My brother –in-law now has 4 car washes all located and chosen by my wife. He’s just bought a pricks car (merc) and lives in a new home, supports 5 kids blah blah blah. So he’s doing ok.
In reality, little investment is needed. But you need trustworthy staff that need to be treated well with tips. I’d advice against a foreigner displaying themselves as the owner though.

For what reason .. so a coffee shop / car wash could do ok
