In places like Nong Khai or Udon for that matter I would NOT target westerners. There are to many businesses aimed at the limited ex-pat, traveller or visa run market and with all respect to ex-pats in those towns, they rarely want or are able to spend much money.
I would open a lounge style bar and restaurant aimed at middle class local Thai's as my primary target/market. A higher end alternative to hotel restaurants. This will give a year round customer base and the visiting or travelling Thais and Laotians will be drawn in by the locals and your reputation.
I would serve limited Isaan food with the onus on Southern and maybe Malay styles of cooking with a smattering of European dishes. Something different. As an example look at the Vietnamese food place on the riverside by the big market (sorry I have forgotten the names). Mobbed day in and day out.
A river location or even view would be nice but not essential as I am after locals which opens more locations to look at. Near the golf course(s) for example.
This may sound a bit more than the OP was originally asking for but as it is a Thai orientated business his input will not need to be as great or as long if it were a western place but an awful lot will depend on his wife and her skill set.
This or renew a $250,000 contract. I dont know why but op seems to think running a successful business is a walk in the park.
PSi dont think op wants to run a restaurant.

I think op KNOWS whats going on. Just doesnt want to admit it. He love a bargirl.......lol who obviously doesnt love him back. Or someone with the mindset of one.
As a last resort Offer to buy her a business then youll know where she is.................lol.

Absolutely! It is another indication of how the Red Shirts are screwing the country and it is probably linked to the rice scheme. And I have it on authority that that particular Tuk-tuk driver is connected to the man in Dubai.
how you equate to a tuk tuk to the reds screwing the country is silly.
The reds are screwing the country .

If you like her, what the hell difference does it make?
a man a week for 8 years is 416 mans. op wants a woman with a little less worldly knowledge........lol.
-
once the woman approaches 50 then age difference really doesnt matter!
its the 50 year old englishman who marries the 25 year old ugly girl from isan is what concerns most..........................lol.

Ask this question in the farming forum topic and you might get some surprising and informative answers.
Such as "tomatoes".
They need to think outside the box ..... and get out of the "we are Rice farmers" mindset.
What would work depends on their land and it's characteristics based on that land.
Also. of course, how hard they are willing to work ..... because running a sucessful farm is a LOT of work.
SIR tomattoes is not out of the box thinking.
If farmers could grow bigger BREASTS...now that would be something...........lol. Yes the ones babies suck on............lol.
-
If you want eggs go to 7-11 or tesco-they much more efficient and also cheaper.........lol.
-
I think its RICE or bust..You lose the least with rice,....lol
Your family must be gorrible farmers. they get prices 40 %above market rates and they still lose money.................lol.
Another guy said ez money in sugarcane but i think he full of manure.

That's great news choo choo that you're down in central Bangkok in th,e heart of sin city, Soi Nana, with all its pollution, both chemical and organic, and not up in the lovely rolling hills and fields of Issan where folks are mire laid back and broad minded.Aabout nice owners. Im stay at asoke hotel $630 a month. I need a place to stay for a year. Ownervery nice and pleasent but all of a sudden her wi-fi system sucks. I dont care how nice she is i got to take my $7,000 hotel expense over the next year to a hotel where wi-fi is workable.
Lady can be thai mother theresa if she dont deliver product i go elsewhere.
Anyone recommend nana-asoke area hotel for under $700 a month im there..................lol.
Sorry to hear about your wifi problems, I suggest you move to under the bridge over Saen Saep canal on Asoke/ Phetburi road, you'd save on rent, laundry,( the canal is right there), and DTAC reception is perfect.
lol
i know a hotel a minute from nana plaza-looks like thats where im headed. i can live with the organic pollution.......lol.
to test that my computer wasnt the problem im at a hollys coffee shop where my computer works flawlessly.
im not computer savvy. but my computer worked for 2 weeks then all of a sudden the last 3 days- s h i t!
i really feel bad moving as the lady is really nice ,she even helps her kid with his homework, her(what i think r parent) seem nice too-they say hi and all that)
but to me a working computer is much more important than nice owners..................lol.

we get it. You not in it for the money.
I dont know why you say earlier you need just enough to get by. im thinking you changing your narrative to fit the naysayers comments.
All these detail would have been helpful in your opening statements. One has to assume someone looking for business oppurtunities is looking for one that makes baht. The hobbyist who knows what their motive is.
8 million baht contract or say $12,000 profit per year on guesthouse? what really is your wifes thought on this?
now the question is <deleted> are you thinking. i bet if simon had a 8m contract somewhere he ditch the guesthouses in a minute..................lol.
anyway its really hard to give any advice wo knowing ones whole story. If you got family take the contract. If its just u and wife do the guesthouse..............lol.
-
dont kid yourself. i think the actual was in the 2 minute range-i rounded up to make you guys feel better.............lol.
-
marry the girl...........lol. that will show them
-
how many 1000s of sessions?
at least we know u not here for theculture, weather or food..................lol.
-
as much as you complain i bet the pub knows its you complaining. I think nother dont complain because nothing will get done-the only thing is they will become targets for tom-foolorey. -which may include violence. money and violence go hand in hand.
-
does it take 3 hours to stick it in and pull it out. avg time fornicating is 3 minutes. what to do with the rest 2 hours and 57 minutes.
-
if op were my son id tell him the same thing. Op has no passion to run houses like you do. He just wants little extra money to get by.
I think a paper route might do the trick..................lol.
Im surprised simon recommended an eatery to feed these visa runners. No way is feeding the guests in a 4-8 room house financially viable-unless wife does it for free and all they serve is rice.............lol.
Lol......lol.....lol..... You do realise your the only one loling!
Simon is speaking from experience, he has credible and successful businesses. May I ask what you do? Lol..lol.... If you wanted to help the OP out, why not explain to him in a constructive manor, your opinions why you don't think it would work? All I'm hearing is a jealous muppet that would rip into anything or anyone! Lololololololololololol
I forgot to add a reason . OP admits he has hard time controlling his imBIBING.
-
dont these LOVE hotels limit the amount of time you can make love? 1-hour? ive noticed recently the girls can take care of business in 30 miutes or less. like the old dominos pizza delivery guarantee of less than 30 minutes............................lol. I used to work for dominos-oh the pressure.
