I'm glad I made this post it has really opened my eyes to some of the problems.

I was not aware that you can't work from home (seems rediculous to me). Can't one just use the business site as his office instead of leasing one?

Thanks ~G~ for being straightforward. How does one get 100% control over the company legally? I can see I'm gonna have to do a ton of research before I make any moves. I wonder if the situation is any better in Laos or Cambodia?

Thanks a lot for the reply. I would like to be able to set up the company soon but it wont be possible until at least next fall so i guess I may be screwed.

If anyone else has some more advice for me that would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I am new to the forums and I'm looking for some advice on setting up a business in Thailand. I have recently returned home to Canada and all I can think about is getting back to Thailand. I am a young guy (24) who has been running my own small business for the last 2 years so I do have some experience. The kind of business I could see myself doing in Thailand would be either some kind of bar/pub or restaurant.

Some questions: what kind of money do you think I should have as a minimum? Could someone explain to me the 49% ownership situation and how that all works? Basically I want to know from some experienced people what I should expect to deal with and watch out for if I go ahead with this. Thanks a lot.
