Sunbelt Asia has a bakery for sale in BKK in this week's newsletter (Ref (BKK13313)) with owner finance available. The advert does not say where. Might save a bit of hassle if it is what you want.

thanks! ive requested for more details.hopefully will hear from em soon!

Im afraid ol' Blue Eyes isnt actually hitting the nail on the head here, and is giving you some duff advice along with occasional snippets of good.

What visa are you on right now? If you are a Non-O visa then you dont need 4 thai employees to get your work permit. Actually, you dont need 4 employees for a work permit anyway, you only need them to get your 'extension of stay' meaning to convert your non-immigrant visa from 3 months validity to 12. If you have a 12 month visa already through another route, then you have overcome of the biggest obstacles in the process that you are about to set out on.

Your company needs registered capital of 2 million THB to qualify to get a work permit. However, don't fret as only 25% of this has to be paid up in cash, and if you dont have that amount then there are legal ways around it.

Consult a decent lawyer. Its really not actually that difficult once you get into the process. Time frame is around a couple weeks for company incorporation.

I know a couple of guys who are Golf professionals here. One in Hua Hin who has been here for around 7 years and his business is doing very very well, and another in Bangkok who has been here around 15 years, while doing some events around Asia. It can be done, good luck with it!

may i just check with you on the regstered capital of 2 million THB...25% has to be paid up in cash as in as a fee? or to secured capital/??

thks!
