Fucking too fucking right mate, swearing's for wankers..

[Cujo]

So a guy with no business skills or business education and no business experience expects to just walk into a S.E Asian country whose business environment he is totally unfamiliar with and set up a successful business?
Like someone said, it's not the U.K.
Even if you had business experience you would still find it works differently in Thailand, not only business but everyday life operates on a different level.
Do you really think this is a good idea?
Keep us posted, this should be good for a laugh.
It's happened a couple of times on this board in the past.

You sound more like girl out of finishing school than a roughty toughty ex-foreign legionare?
You came here looking for advice and you've been given plenty, most of which you seem determined to ignor, I'll give you a year before you're on the bones of your arse scratching the bottom of your penny jar for beer money.

Yes mate - that is it in a nutshell. Most of the people that lose their all here do it by setting up a buisness in which they have no experience. Fuck me, doing that in UK and you have a 90% chance of failure - trying to do it here pushes those odds to 99.99999%.

The few that seem to make it over the long haul here have experience in that buisnesss outside of Thailand and the resources to weather a very, very long start up phase.

I would also have to note, that not only is the buisness environment here unfamiliar - in general it is very, very stacked against foreigners.

To OP: the cynicism here is well justified. You got enough money to start up a buisness and lose it? Invest it instead - live off the interest and save yourself the indignity of heading back to blighty with your tail between your legs (something I have seen many, many times).

He could hook up with some of the ex-SAS guys for advice.

Probably end up in a big fight.

[KOBRIEN]

Guys I would be careful about what you say,I have just spotted this guys real identity

[nidhogg]

^ he is a gay belgian??

[KOBRIEN]

Last time he was here on holiday ..

[Thetyim]

I didn't know it was a film, I thought it was something you caught from air conditioners

[Bettyboo]

Yep, OP... it comes up again and again and again; listen to the posts - #83 is clear and to the point. I used to work in International Business Development (a kinda glorified global sales position) and made deals in many many countries, but Thailand was off the list, it just wasn't worth the time and effort. Plus, Thais are not as stupid as we lovingly make out; they like money a lot... Lastly, the whole country is set up to stop help us spend money and stop us earning/taking money out; it's no secret... Good luck.

[Stinky]

And don't forget about your retirment plan Claude

[FlyFree]

OP, what we have here is a lot of selfish fuckers - err, blokes, sorry - that try and keep the pot of gold to themselves.

There's money to be made in Thailand. Try the printing business.

[buriramboy]

These threads always make me laugh, why is it people who live in Thailand always want to discourage others from coming and setting up home there???

When i first set foot in Thailand it was only to be for a couple of weeks to clear my head after a nasty divorce in the UK but it turned into a 10 year vacation, i knew fok all about the country (bar reading a guide book picked up at Heathrow), knew no one there, was on my own, no web sites like this back in the late '90's and i found my own way to making 2-3 million baht in good years and fok all in bad years and being only 26 when i arrived i had fok all experience worth talking about.

Been back in the UK just over 2 years now and i fokin hate it, was planning to stay here 15 years till my daughter finished her education but fok that enough is enough and i will return to Thailand in 2-3 years, what will i do there, fok knows, i'll sort that out when i get there.

[Rascal]

ESP. the bar scene you will lose your ass. Just come over and look around if you have enough money to hang out for a year. Look, listen then maybe you will find something. I have a novel idea, but will only sell my idea because its a winner.

Leaving the UK Behide and not having a pot to piss in ....

Coming to Thailand to start a business is pretty much a fools errand, very few succeed, you'll invest all you got and loose the lot inside two years then it's back to Blighty with your tail between your legs to earn another pot to piss in.

Good luck what ever you decide

[Rascal]

(87) english do not understand your statement. Is it in code or what??

^ agree with digit good place to visit or retire too but to easy to do your arse best to be cashed up so you don't have to worry about where your next dollar is coming from.

[Rascal]

am sorry bout that mate!

I don't think negative advice is necessarily bad advice, just realistic advice, and as like so many before you you don't seem to any idea at all as to what might turn you an honest buck I'd suggest you earn your money in the west, shelve this pipe dream and save yourself a lot of time and money.
But what do I know, this time next year you could be a millionare.

Being negative is no good really .... Also it's not a dream i have i am fed up of the UK and people in it and want out .. Just looking on Ideas & Info most negative things come from people who have been screwed in Thailand buy girls that said i love you long time hunni or people that did not plan and rushed into it

Ah yes seen that too, so many businesses and not in the Farangs name coz he can't legally own a controling steak of his business in Thailand so he has to put it in her name or some bent solictor that befriends him, recipie for disaster.
I've met guys with bars lost, tailors lost, Internet cafe's lost, guest house lost, laudry lost, petrol station lost, new house lost and on and on and on.
I can appreciate your desire to quit Blighty but unless you find a secure way to keep
hold of your investment, which you almost certainly won't, you're more than likely onto a loser.
I know it's all so very negitive but thems the facts, harsh ain't it.

Well anybody who puts a busniess in some Thai Girls name that he as met at some drinking hole is asking to be screwed really saying that i certainly won't be able to find a small business to set up is crazy i am not looking to make loads as i will still have a few pounds coming from the UK But i think i need to make at least 70,000 baht per month to live ok ... Sdigit what is it you do where do you live where are you from have you been screwed ???? or just negitive

After a little personal info is it......ok then.

I live in Blighty but I'm a Paki by birth, I've known a multitude of Thai girls who all screwed me every morning night and noon, and I don't do anything at the moment coz I'm still waiting for Miss Money Penny to contact me with my next mission, and that Cnut Q had better send an Audi R8 this time

[Rascal]

not many of those around!

I hear there is a big demand for massage palours..u could try setting up one on the street, very little overheads and the passing parade of potential clients your bound to make a motza..

[Rascal]

sucked big time shows where entertainment has gone, the shitter. That is Shit stuff!!

The Weather here is becoming a joke.

becoming?

i am a little close to a female friend that is single and in time i think us getting together is on the cards

sounds serious...

i have no real skills

How about stand up comedian?

Some crazy people here i see..... for the info i do have a fews pots to piss in here thanks !!! 1 million baht is not alot of cash really maybe it is to lose

So...
a. You've got loads of money, but you want free advice that any passing surfer can read?!
b. You're a Paki with no skills and a tenuous online relationship with some bird from somewhere far away, whose surname you don't even know
Or
c. you are a poor francophone war veteran in the mould of Steve McQueen in Papillon, cruelly fired by e-mail, who wishes to solicit our sympathy? (try "c.")

Go to a language school in Bangkok and get a job teaching

Quite, being occasionally French and occasionally "Paki" is no bar... if he managed to get into the UK, then anything's possible. <- how's that for positivity

Go for it! And post the photos... it's bound to be very entertaining

[Rascal]

used to be ok but now gangs and cameras all about. Fuck that place would move out too!

What a have decided is i want to be able to live in Thailand and will not give up everything in the UK but most or it i will AND ONE OF THEM WILL BE MY HOME.

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?

Oh i will not move over night i rent here is the UK ...

[Stinky]

am sorry bout that mate!

No worries mate, I get to play the race card every day whilst taking a giant shit all over the British culture and economy, it really is good fun.
Off to pakiland soon to marry my cousin and bring her entire extended family over here to claim Social security fuck up the NHS with our TB ravaged lungs.
