    I have a car wash too. For Thai's to come in and wash their car in your place you'd have to put in a good amount of money into it. I spent Approx about 1M Baht, Since a car wash has to be  on main roads finding land is quite the challenge. Leasing the land for long term is cheaper than buy using your Thai Wife.

     

      Our Monthly profit is about 40 to 50k after deduction of expenses, made a little bit more when we sold drinks at the lounge. 4 staff with salaries of 9,200 Baht. The car wash is one of the side kicks i opened to turnover cash, I barely show up there anymore just get alerts in Bank at the end of everyday.

     

      The hardest part of owning a car wash is finding and keeping the staff, once you finally find those thai staff who are too lazy to quit, then the business starts flourishing.

     

      If you plan on opening yours from scratch expect to lose money in the first few months/ 1st year. Buying an operating one with staff that will stay after the business has changed owners is much better.

     

      Anyways I intend on listing mine on the market sometime early next year(around feb) for anywhere between 650k to 750k. Mine comes with a huge furnished lounge, extra very well spaced bosses' office, 2 toilets one public and one private, and a 4 Bunk bed dormitory for the staff to sleep in. Located at the heart of the city overlooking some big hotels. It's a good option to register as a company and use to earn monthly profits and yearly visa while staying, sadly the profit margin is not enough to apply for a residents permit after 3 years not unless you chose to lie about your profit. Keep your eyes glued to craigslist business for sale(Probably here on TV too) around feb if interested.

    The only thing hard to understand for me is if the people who gave back this motorbike was not a passerby or an utter stranger it would not have been difficult to confront him with the person who said nobody gave the motorbike back, I do not understand...at all!

    CCTV not working ????

    For what it's worth, the shop I took it in to for repair was indeed one of the biggest name shops in Thailand which I made clear & named in my first post...however the Thai Visa mod's objected and removed it because of that.

     

     

     

    Why the objection ?

    Many of the boys/young men who are trafficked are undocumented, hill tribe kids in particular. Trying to prove the age of some of them is extremely difficult and many times westerners are considered guilty until proven innocent in these situations. I knew a Brit more than twelve years ago in CM who got four years for underage sex with a hillside lad who we all believed to be over eighteen but it couldn't be proved and the authorities weren't interested in trying to find out, even he said he was over 18 - a couple of us tried to help and even went to his school in Central Thailand to try and get his records but we they wouldn't release them to us. Ultimately it was an NGO that was responsible for his arrest and imprisonment.

    How old was your Brit mate 12 years ago in CM ?
