Would almost certainly be considered "working", and require a work permit.
That’s ok, it wouldn’t be me working, it would be my Thai brother in-law, thx.

So you'd be okay if they'd just reopen with shelves and walls full of bullet holes
WOW. R.I.P

if next to a school, try toys and sweets
We have shop opposite school, sell many toys, ranging from lots of 5 bht to 250 bht
Every morning the children turn up with 20bht notes, buy cheap toys, and then cheap 5 and 10 bht sweets
Also sell ice cream, but Mingos, not walls. Most ice creams are 5 baht and some 10 baht, so again kids love them, but Walls is too expensive for very similar
Also sell sot drinks, socks, pens, pencils, books, etc, almost anything that school; children need, plus a few extras that adults might want, but not much of these, because too many other small, dirty shops in the village sells these.
Make good money during term time, and a lot less in school holidays, but then we go on holidays or just relax
Cheers and thx

From my observations as a customer at these shops, the best selling soft drink is orange Fanta (or the equivalent from other brands).

And once a neighbour sees you doing OK, they will open a shop next door to yours.
No they can’t. I have Thai family all living beside each other and opposite. The other corner is a school. But I know what you mean and yes that can happen. Cheers

Just an update as well....I got the price quote for it. 4 meter posts, 1 meter under in footers, 1 meter slab wall above ground, 2 meter chain link fence above that, 2 gates..one car gate and one small gate in the rear.....512,000thb for the 2+ rai. Given some of the other prices I've seen, it doesn't sound too unreasonable.
Sounds like a great price and design. Good luck. Can you upload finished photos later please? Thx

Are you allowed to sell without any Thai government licence, filtered bore water in Isaan village as bottled water or as ice cubes in plastics bags via pick up only? If so, how much baht per litre and how much baht for a bag of ice (1kg)? Thx

Also "someone" has to sit there all day everyday .. really boring after a while and not much good health wise
shop not open 0 profit, close for too long customers go elsewhere some don't come back , hard to compete with 7/11 ????
Thx for this. My 2 sister-in-laws and family live next door and opposite, so always someone close by. No 7/11 close by, maybe 20-30 min motorbike ride away, cheers

All the above + Sunlight WU liquid (unless I missed it)
Also, beware of the Walls Ice Cream guys visiting. Any profit will be dented by the electricity costs for the supplied freezer.
Good luck!
Ok thx. Can I own a gun in Thailand, so I can say hello to the Wall Guys? Self serve ice cream, so just water and powder mixed together and straight into the Soft Serve machine. Cheers.

Just roughly all from 1,5-2M baht. That does not include land.
That´s just an estimate, but probably very close to the truth. After that you are looking at about 30-40k per month in fee.
Ok cheers Matzzon

My wife and i have discussed making/selling pretty much everything on your list at some point but it always comes down to a max price of 20 baht for anything to sell, even without the 'western' aspect of the food. This is generally not economically viable but I fully understand why you are looking at it.
The one item that may work is soft-serve ice cream. One lady from the village bought a converted trailer selling chocolate and or vanilla soft-serve a few months ago and it is still doing a roaring trade, however a cone is only 10 Baht and its not very big.
A successfull chef returning from Dubai a few years ago opened a small steak place where a steak (pork and beef with fries) cost 40 Baht. It was delicious, we were regulars. A month later no steak, not many wanted it and he changed to all the usual 20/30 baht standard Thai dishes, pad krapow etc.
The closest 7/11 to me is one hour by car.
Thx for your thoughts Saltire, much appreciated. I can sell a medium ice cream cone for 15 baht and make a 5 baht profit. A school very near by and hopefully fries for 15 baht.

No make your own pizza! Give sample that you get customer! Everybody can buy from shop!
7/11 fees!
An initial franchise fee of $25,000. An inventory down payment between $20,000 and $40,000, plus an initial cash register fund. Land and building improvements, which vary by site.
Ok thx. Yes customers can download a voucher and print it out to get a free slice of pizza when they come into shop. Thx for the 7/11 rough figures. I have land on main village road already.

How much western food would the average village person eat a day ?
Not sure, but if cheap enough ( maybe 15/20 baht average ) soft serve ice cream cones, slices of pizza, fries, milkshakes,

How did you come up with such an inventive idea? Anybody helped you?
No, it won´t work! The reason is that you can not compete with 7-Eleven, at the same time as you can never sell good quality western food in a village with people that want cheap.
Do you know how much the set up cost and franchise fees are for a Thailand 7-Eleven? Thx

Why wouldn’t it be wise? Because of no profit or because of other businesses? Thx
