Only way these businesses works is if the space dubbles as their home.

Its not possible this girl will get a loan from a bank in a year given the info we have. I doubt banks loan on these type of deals. The boyfriends would save themeselves a lot if they took note of this.

"Suggestions?"

RUN!

Family rural farmers, newbie signed up today dropping 500k on woman, etc. I smell a troll.

However, at the slim chance you ain't and for the benefit of others... if you do go down that road, make sure you get most of it back, which IS the Thai way. Cashier's cheque wouldn't work as the whole point is to show off to everyone what their daughter is 'worth'. Also ask yourself, would a Thai man put up that kind of money for this lady.

Thanks for that. And I do worry. However, they did not ask for the money and neither my gf nor her family have ever asked for money. It came up at meeting with all of her village and they asked what I would pay. I made the offer, based on the fact I had paid $10k to my first wife's family 12 years ago. They built a new home and never asked for more. I think you are probably right about the check - although they could waive it around at everybody to see lol.

I keep reminding myself that $15k in the US will only get you a used pickup truck - maybe the same in Thailand. And she is worth so much more to me than a truck (well, depending on the model - just kidding,)

Anyway - my concern is about safety and not having trouble with the bank or immigration people.

HUH? A village said you must pay and future family doesnt decide? Only thing I can say is you deserve all the crazy things that will happen to you in this bought and paid for marriage.

But on a serious note, you can bring 19,999 US dollars into Thailand without declaring it.

I really hope this is a troll post.

Doesnt matter. Guy s do what this guy is doing everyday. What is the appeal???????????????????????????????????????????????

What's best?

What's best is to keep that kind of money in the United States.

Failing that, maybe the inlaws have a PayPal account?

thanks - I hadn't thought of that. However, the family are rural farmers and do not own a computer or have internet access.

$15,000? Why not buy a couple of pigs and a chicken. You dont want to show wealth to rural people.

This could get funny!

I can see MIL loving a cashiers cheque

Try bearer bonds.

Is the girl a bar kind of girl? If she is no need to worry about pilfering. IT will happen....................lol.

Who uses condoms these days? Takes all the fun out of it.

So does herpes and HIV........

Statistically insignificant if you bargirls looks clean and takes frequent showers......................................hahaha! And doesnt have visible sores.

US rate increases will come sooner than later. The economy is finding growth largely through traditional domestic consumption resulting from cheaper energy, higher employment, and improved redistribution of wealth. However, it can't completely isolate itself from the effects of worsening world economics in Europe.

So a USA rate increase now may be more symbolic as minor increase intended to show resolve for further increases should the economy continue to sustain itself for the next five months. Thailand would benefit as the USA is a major importer of Thai products, if only the Junta scales back its roadmap to isolate the nation politically from the USA.

Growth? If there werent a communist leader growth should be in excess of 5% plus a year now.

A top salon worker makes 10,000 a month? No wonder my girl gave it up and went back to Soi Cowboy..........................hahaha. God bless her, she went to school and even tried it for awhile but the cashflow just wasnt enough for the mother.

Dont do it with friends. Usually people who go into ownere finance deals are bound with bad history. Sell outright or tell em go suck eggs!

usa isnt strenghting -all other are getting worse.

I not understand why GREEK(a drunkard) is able to negotiate from no power at all? They arent willing to do a thing to help themselves.

Pm me. My girl has a hair shop in patong. Ill tell you like it is. Send me a google map of where the shop is first.

Sorry for your disaster. How bad is it?

Yes Swiss, I think you make good points. She is in a position to see the books and has looked. The shop is pulling in about 60K monthly not including the 3 room rentals which are full. They bring in 15000 monthly. My concern about the revenue is that these are high season earnings. I think that ends next month. The reason for selling from what I can see is that the current owner is in a situation that I refuse to get into. Specifically, farang BF bought the place for his Thai wife hoping to keep her busy (locked down). She now is bored with it. She wants to party every night not manage a business. The BF is paying the staff salaries from his pocket and she empties the register into hers. So basically he is just filling her pockets, emptying his own and has not achieved the desired control factor so he wants to dump it. They have not payed electric or water for 2 months now and, while money is coming in, it's being spent at the local club not on the bills. So that brings me to the landlord like you mentioned. I told the GF to sit and wait. When the landlord stops getting payed she will change the locks. Thats the time to take over the location and deal with the landlord directly and bypass the current owner who no one would would want to business with any way. Thanks for helping me think it out.

60K and 15k Rent 3 rooms equals 75K month. You mentioned there are staff. So from 75K, salaries, rent, utilities, even if you go direct to owner it still dosnt add up to making a profit

Rooms are 15k each so 15x3+60=105. Rent 25k, Staff 20k, utilities 3k. 105-48=57k. This is on a good month, full occupancy, not accounting for materials (color, extensions yadyada could be 27k??) Figure 30k monthly income. Her salary now is 10k. There is also 2 massage beds which if staff is subcontracted for that would be gravy.

You want your gf giving SpEcIaLs?

You know all this and yet you interested.........................................HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! One franag after another after another buy shop.................................................................

You mean the owner of the salon wants to rent the equipment for 30.000 THB p.m.?

then she has to pay 25000 THB p.m. in rent? thats not going to work.

Why not (if you really want to do it,and can afford to loose your investment),just find

a suitable shop to rent,and buy the equipment,start small and build it up using any

profits,really the equipment you would need should not be that expensive.

Or what about starting a mobile hairdressing business,much better than paying

30K p.m. for rent of equipment you would never own.

Better to just have no connection to the girls career................................hahaha. Just see her at night-business owners work very hard and dont have time for foreign boyfriends..........................hahaha.

I love Thai GFs and business. Do these guys really except a success?

All one needs to know is its a Thai Girlfriend Dont do it...............................................................

To add insult this guy is talking quite big numbers..................................Double run fast.

i got food poisoned last night. just now feeling ok. Wish i had travel insurance.

With all the great food in Thailand why would anyone eat that crap! Thais are getting noticeably fatter and the junk food is mainly to blame.

Truth be told THAI street food is a whole lotta KHRAP also. people think they getting healty for 25 baht..........................................hohoho.

Koran states either convert or perish. I guess McD compromised and sort of converted.

What next Big Allahu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mc Akbar!

Moral of article-better not marry thai girls(you know the knid) without proper insurance.

The sad part is the guy is so nimcompoopish.

Like i said be4 guys are asking for this. Normal girls just dont behave like that,

he is trying to tell us how stupitt we are for choosing to live in thailand.....................hahahahahaha

The key is not bldg the house. Then and only then will you you if you were ensnared by an infamous thai girl black widow................hahahaha!

One has no credibility wo a face 2 face meeting!

Who can blame any girl for trying to get a few extra baht out of these fat old western idiots. You regularly meet the heartbroken 50 somethings who can't understand why they can't find the right 25 year old Thai bar girl.

The RIGHT bargirl.........................this is so funny!

I still think its insane to marry a girl from a bar.............................hahahaha. But then again men who do deserve what they get. Its actually quite fair.

Absolutely not...

Im leaving on the 23rd of this month, and im not looking back.

The only thing i will miss here is...my gf for 5 years...i love her so much...

but this country has not been what i remembered it to be back in 1989.

I'll still take care of my gf....but this place can kiss my a**

Racist, watching and wanting your every move...piss off.

I'll move on to much better places, where they respect and consider firiegners who help contribute to their economy.

The Philippines and Vietnam, are now on my list.

So you still gonna TAKE CARE of your gf. Why not let another man take care of her...............................hahahaha.

.

And with that childish, unthoughtful comment, we all now know what kind of "man" you are.

Grow up-its Thailand baby. We all know what take care means.

So man sends girl money and isnt coming back. Are you saying girl cant find another man to LOVE?
