I've been living in Thailand for seven years, and I'm married to a Thai with a three-year-old child.

My wife and her aunties, sisters and nieces have had a few goes at various shops/business and the biggest issue I have observed is the Thai concept of market competition/saturation. As soon as the business looks to be profitable another business selling the same product whether it be food, clothes or cosmetics will open next door. Having no lease and just monthly rent makes closing the business pretty painless except for the fairly inexpensive leftover stock which has slowly been sold off to the original customers. As you mention it keeps her busy and never seems too worried about the "business no good"

I understand why you put the prices in your videos, and in your particular channel it is informative. What drives me crazy is the 1 million Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Hua Hin expat videos that talk endlessly about how cheap it is to live in Thailand, everything they do they add a price comparison to back home. What annoys me is they are painting a very simple picture talking about food, rent, travel. There are many things that are expensive here, and also even if overall it is cheaper you must have funds to last long term - many fail to plan for this. Also keep in mind that as you age your medical expenses will rise, your travel options become more restrictive, etc.

The information about what you had info about is American citizens who wish to remain in Thailand for longer than 90 days during any six-month period will be required to obtain a valid Thai visa from a Thai Embassy or Consulate that is authorized to issue visas. The U.S. Embassy advises all American citizens who wish to obtain a Thai visa to contact the Thai Immigration Bureau for exact visa requirements and regulations. Persons who do not comply with visa regulations risk being denied entry to Thailand at the border. Thai people are very welcoming, warm and… friendly! A superb environment to live in: idyllic islands, bustling metropolises, thousand-year-old temples and vibrant exotic nature. The relatively low cost of living allows you to have an excellent quality of life.(It's for what is it living in Thailand as an expat) And One way to live in Thailand permanently is by obtaining Thai Permanent Resident (PR) status. Holding permanent residency not only eliminates the need for visa runs but also facilitates easier access to property ownership and company establishment in Thailand. (Is what you had just info the ways that you had info about how is their ways & decision by letting a foreigner who is staying in Thailand which is not only you permanently.)

Anybody can buy land in Britain including Thai people yet we can’t buy land in Thailand. Thailand will always be considered a 3rd world country until they change this backward policy. Any country that doesn’t allow foreign investment can’t grow and although land prices in Thailand have gone up it will eventually go back down again particularly in rural Thailand. Youngsters are heading to the big cities to live hence the depopulation of rural areas. And little or no demand for housing. Excellent vlog!

thailand is the 1940s of america. eventually prices and everything will rise, double and triple the cost of living. right now it's worth investing in a land or house. Slowly but surely.

Very interesting, even though I personally do not plan to ever start a business in Thailand. I suppose that my interest lies in learning more, and more, about all aspects of life in Thailand, incl. how small businesses work (or fail). Thanks for sharing this. :) Out of curiosity, how much would it cost to hire Thai staff, in rural Thailand, to work in a small shop or cafe? In addition to the salary, are there other employee-related costs that need to be covered, such as paying into any mandatory government social programs for such things as healthcare & retirement? In some countries, it is expected/required for employers to pay an additional month of salary each year, as a bonus - is this expected/required in Thailand?

About 9-10,000 baht each per month plus social security payment of around 750 baht each - something like that 👍🙏

@@thenakedguru Thanks. Hmm... that works out to about 10 USD/day - maybe a bit more, depending on the number of work days per month & the current exchange rate, ofc. This is the current minimum wage in Thailand, right?

Yes if you are planning long term Superficies agreements are 30 year contracts (with the option to extend) that lock the land and buildings up for a foreigner’s use until they die. There are number of ways long timers can legally have rights. Including also inheritance of said land to my children.

What does that stupid motto that keeps on getting repeated actually mean anyway??...it's just sounds like defeat and being poor is inevitable and we're all destined to suffering from the insecurity of being a life long renter struggling from week to week counting pennies...fcuk that! or you can work harder, learn, task calculated risks, save, budget, invest and own assets ....and you will be happier, wealthier and in control of your life instead of making some landlord wealthy. It's no secret that owning property is one of the few ways that the average guy can end up being wealthy and comfortable.....the hardest part is taking that first step. You can do when you're 20 and you can take that first step when you're 55.

The collapse here in the UK is underway. This autumn will be a huge shock to the normies. A lot of desperate people will consider getting the hell out. The problem will be finding your wealth has gone and what's left the government has capital controlled. Before trying to escape anywhere, people need bitcoin. I think you can not stress and repeat the message enough. Bitcoin nay very well save your life.

Starting a bar / restaurant or neighborhood shop or resort / guesthouse / hotel are BY FAR the worse investments you can do. For every succes story i can give you a hundred failed ones. It's scraping pennies. Plenty of better ideas.
