Richie you need to rename your channel. It is only you that appears in the vlogs.

[@sonicology6002]

He should change it to Richie's Real Estate agent channel

[@theflynns9783]

We started watching your channel from the beginning. Loved watching you and Maybelle. We understand that maybelle is a mom now, but how about showing maybelle.. I am a mum of 3 grown kids but dont understand why maybelle can't be in your vlogs. It is getting repetitive now with you just showcasing your business. How about showing interesting things in phuket.

[@commanderbishop]

Richie, you have a family now. The dream of retirement and running a restaurant are over my friend. Unless you came to Thailand with a boat load of money, and still have some left over. It's highly unlikely you and your family will ever live much above poverty. There are dreams and then there is reality. I can only assume you want to take care of your family and especially your little one ensuring they have the best future possible. Based on what has been shown, you would need to hit a multi-million-dollar lottery to make that happen. There just isn't enough cash flow running a nice restaurant to make all those things come true. It's a retirement job in Thailand, it's not a family man job unless you just don't care about the long-term future. Many don't and that's okay - I'm retired in Thailand, if we had kids, we wouldn't be here as there would be no real equitable future for my kids in Thailand compared to the opportunities available in my home country. It's just facts we have to live with - consider this, we don't need the money, nor ever will need money. But I would never raise my children in a place with little to no opportunity - we would return home, good schools, great trade craft training, etc. Yes, you can have all that in Thailand - you just need to bring a big western filled bank account which 99%+ don't have... The rules of have cash or don't have any apply everywhere, even here in Thailand. Private school for my wife's niece, which I pay, cost me over 100K BAHT a year - that's just the school and doesn't include anything else - double it for activities, transportation, etc. If I could get her back to my home country I would, but not possible so I do what I can for the family given we have no children and family is important to me. Its life, sometimes we just have to put the big boy pants on and do the right thing. It sucks most of the time, but right is right. In the end all we have is family, friends come and go. FYI - We have dined at your place several times in the past. Love the food and atmosphere! All this is being said with your best interest for family at heart. Hope you will take it that way. Tip my hat at your good run to date - best of luck moving forward!!! My last thought - imagine if you go back home, get your wife and child with you after a time. AND put all the energy you put into Thailand into your business at home - YOU would kill it, you have the experience and drive, there is more money and traffic in the UK. Visit Thailand, make a 15-year plan, come back and retire when the little one grows up. Win-Win!!!

[@sandrabentley8111]

$2,800 a year! That's really nothing for private school fees. He's doing so well, not easy running several businesses. He's still young and having the time of his life!

There is nothing better than home delivered food when you are on holidays. I recently had a 3 week holiday in Bali and ordered room service so many times when I didn’t feel like going out for food. It’s wonderful.

[@Nay-Nay-MrWilks]

Clutching at straws to survive. I predict he, his wife and child be living in England before you know it. Least he can earn decent money there all year long while still young enough to do so.. best plan actually.

[@andyv7368]

Problem is taking the family back to the UK isnt easy Need to be earning £29k a year with 6 months statements to back it up and it cost up to £5k every 30 months for visas and NHS surcharge.

[@commanderbishop]

@@andyv7368 It's the price you pay - in the end it's family, sacrifice is part of everything worth having... Took a year to get my Thai wife to my home country and over 10K in legal fees. Took 7 years for her to become a citizen all the time while I worked crappy jobs then spent 7 years building a business and selling it before returning to Thailand retired. It can be done. Results are different for everyone - we had a 15-year plan to always return to Thailand and retire, we made it happen together in 14 years. We haven't even hit 54 years of age yet. Again, your mileage/experience may vary - but you must have a realistic plan and stick with it.

[@michaels7134]

Richie and Maybelle, I really love your attitude on life. Over the last few years (I just turned 60) I have been actively working to be more positive and to be in the moment and present. The vibe that you guys put forth is awesome. I hope you 3 have the success and happiness that that mindset has brought me! Cheers

Ritchie, I kept thinking about your video and the idea of worrying. I am sure you have heard this saying before, but just thought I would throw it out there for someone to possibly stumble upon.

Seems like not a good idea. Who wants to use separate apps for each shop and restaurant they order from? There's a reason that Grab, Lazada etc are so successful.

Low Season is for everyone a difficult time when you work in a Tourist Area but the Main Problem is that everything get more expensive, specially rental; taxes and food

In Rawai the good restaurants with REASONABLE prices and good food thrive even in low season. Everyone else is wiped out in low season (which in Rawai has become mid season).

[@atiminthailand4531]

Are you guys not on grab already? It's a great idea to offer air bnb's a menu. Maybe do a deal with the owners but they'll be happy to display that option for their guests as it adds to their available services. Also offer them a welcome basket? Even offer it to the owners for free. Some essentials with a menu? You could do a basic one, minimal cost, with the aim of getting your menu in front of their guests.

Hi Richie, I first came to Thailand in 2021 . And it is so refreshing to hear someone with so much get up and go , and totally understand why you want better for your family, and to all the cheap sad people who live on a measly income, this is not living 😂. Having nothing now means having nothing always . So good for you , and I hope it works out and if it doesn’t you don’t seem the sort of bloke who will give up . 👍🏻

I remember yr video of that day, etc. Wonderful to hear of all this!

[@markdumbrell2618]

I don’t want to be too negative, I wish you the best of luck. But I think you’ll be at plan Z and flying back to England sooner than you hoped. You really should have money behind you by now after a few high seasons if your cafe truly is a success. Good luck mate 👍

Myself and my Thai partner are currently looking at opening a guest house (10-15 rooms) in Phuket with a small restaurant/bar downstairs.

[@Walt-ck5qn]

Hey Richie! Stay the course Richie; I'm with you Brother! Keep on keeping on! OMG! I commented before you repeated my thoughts. Being a former restauranteur, I mentioned the same thing to Dee, the Thai owner of Asiati;que Eatery in Ventura, CA where I had lunch yesterday July 5th planning my visit to Thailand with my buddy Doug. It's uncanny but food delivery services in California charge 30% too, is why Dee doesn't subscribe to their services. She said she would have to increase her takeout prices to absorb the delivery costs and chose not to. You're going about it the right way. Most people don't mind a nominal delivery fee. Westerners are accustomed to this additional charge in their countries. I admire your vision for the business and your family's future security. Good fortune, health, fun and happiness. Above all stay safe!

Use your 20's and early 30's to work your ass off, get some savings behind you then find a partner who makes you feel young in your 40's. Aim to be in a place you are happy to be in by 40 as your life slows down a lot. I left it too late, I'm 43 now and I wish I had found south east Asia in my 20's and had more of a target to where i wanted to be now back then. Get out of the uk too. :)

[@SeanHendy]

When it comes to a business approaching a VAT threshold, it is important to make sure that you don't nudge over it, but sprint straight past it. You need to take the sting out of, in your case, 7% being taken off your revenue. BUT do make sure to work the system the other way too. Get the best advice you can from your accountant. In the UK for example, if you now have to play the VAT game, it isn't all one sided as it means that the VAT on every thing you buy for the business, is offset against VAT from your takings, except in the UK instead of 7% it's 20% and the difference is a bit more stark.
