Exactly

I am not at all claiming that. I am claiming that continuing to build new properties when mile after mile of existing properties is vacant make little sense, as does used five times the labor you need. Labor may be cheap, but it is not free. They were selling us aluminum extrusion at below their cost. That is just not sustainable.

I remember you. You used to post under a different name until you got kicked off. I do not remember what the name was, but it will come to me.

How have I been disrespectful? I try to call them like I see them. The thread opens with you, in your first post ever claiming to know little about Thailand, and then all the sudden you've been here since 2018, you've never posted before, and you seem to seem to know nothing of the country.

I visited China several times about 20 years ago with our Hong Kong rep looking for a location for a joint venture. The volume of new construction was amazing, and the amount of vacant residential, commercial and industrial properties was astounding. We went through one huge industrial park, row after row of buildings, all apparently vacant except one, and it was a about a 10,000m^2 plant, with about twenty guys sitting on the floor, doing what looked like recycling electronic cr*p. Some years later, I visited an aluminum extruder as a protentional new supplier. They were using three times the labor our Thailand supplier uses, and our Thailand supplier uses twice the labor a US plant would use, and the Chinese conversion cost was still significantly less than what our Thai supplier charged. I am amazed China has lasted this long.

That's a hoot: "Founded in 2017, SinoInsider is a China political risk consultancy based in New York. We have an unparalleled track record in predicting Chinese Communist Party elite politics. Our accurate forecasting and authoritative analysis are derived from a unique political risk assessment model."

I think I have a pretty good idea how many companies you have run in Thailand.

You should have stated high seven figure savings in your original post. This is sounding more like a wind-up with each post.

Clearly you know even less about operating a business in Thailand than you do about the United States.

And of course, that the EU's economy is in the toilet has nothing to do with a drop in tourism to the US.

That's because now they have to go back home after the holiday's over. In any event, why would anyone risk visiting when leftists are rioting in the streets?

Quit jerking off MAGAs and it will stop.

You reap what you sow...

They only need one...

Except that I meant that: "Many businesses are fronts for illegal activity. Go to a business, watch it and take notes. Many do not make enough to pay the rent, much less the staff." I was not talking about people that set up companies to buy homes and whatnot.

The way you hate MAGA? Is it your position Zohran Mamdani is a moderate?

Majestic Tailors do nice work, as does Jass Fashions at a lower price point. The important thing is to make sure he knows what he wants before he shops. Have pictures of the exact style you want.

That you are on a chat board asking legal questions says a lot. You can buy a 49-51 business, but who is going to be your partner? I do not believe you do not have the capital for a BOI registered business, and I doubt very much tourist accommodations would meet the criteria for approval. The BOI has a great website. in English. Many businesses are fronts for illegal activity. Go to a business, watch it and take notes. Many do not make enough to pay the rent, much less the staff.

How old are you? If you are retired, come spend some months shopping and see what you think. Lease a guest house with a restaurant for a year or two and see how you do with that. The country is full of plots of land in the middle of nowhere with small accommodations built on them that are 90% vacant. You are way undercapitalized for what you want to do. A bar or guest house maybe.

It's not nothing, it's Subway or KFC money.

Oh, dead kids, I get it, that's hilarious.

Your parents were illegal aliens? Please do not conflate legal immigrants with illegal aliens. As I understand it, the argument is that illegal aliens are not under the jurisdiction of the United States, but of their native country. "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." But "Individual lunatics with assault rifles..." are part of "the people" whose right to keep and bear arms is not to be infringed on. You want to punish the many for the actions of a few. I think the damage that can be done by one lie on FOX or CNN far outweighs what one nut-sack can do you a gun. Can you define "assault rifle"? What do you mean by "...the current executive branch of government is subverting the separation of powers..."? That is not clear to me. And your claim that the executive branch is "...making demands of and threatening the legislative and now the judicial branches." seems vague as well. Would you please expand on that? If Trump wrote an executive order demanding all firearms be confiscated, would you support that action?

It has been seriously questioned in regard to the children of immigrants, but not in regard to the children of illegal aliens. Does the fact that the First Amendment was ratified in the days of quill and parchment, does that mean it does not apply to radio, TV and internet? "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." A free state, with citizenry capable of rising up again a tyrannical government.

So, a family of six goes hunting and shares one rife. And the use the same one for hunting rabbits and moose. How many cars should one family be allowed to own?

Reds?
