samui bill Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) Hi,i am looking at starting up a maintanance company,eg:swimming pool cleaning,gardening,painting etc.I have just brought a truck and will buy lawn mower etc,think this might be a good idea,alot of farangs on the island get fed up with thais never turning up and the language barrier is normally a problem,so maybe farangs would prefer to deal with farang.There wouldnt be much to lay out,and i just want someone to work with me hopefully with some experence of some sort.cheers.

Jet Gorgon Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 There is a Brit in Bangrak that does this type of biz. Also, it's manual labour, so best to check the Thai biz rules for what farangs can and cannot do. If you just run the company and do the talking, but hire Thais to do the work, it should be OK. Oh, and mafia? Oh, no, no mafia on Samui. You only have to take work away from a Thai company to find out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickKettleOn Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 (edited) Ah, that would be Kammy. Scottish bloke. I cant see the mafia getting too involved in ferang specialist grafting. No Toyota Hi-Lux's will be pulling up outside Joe Bloggs garden, declaring they are 'going to the mattresses' over a few weeds pulled out and a garden wall painted. I can almost guarantee this thread will evolve into a mafia issue. 5 posts later and Samui Jens will express concern that Alan Titchmarsh and Charlie Dimmock will be flying over to place a horses head in Samui Bills bed. The global agriculture mafia in support of Samui agriculture mafia. I had a smoke tonight. Edited February 6, 2007 by StickKettleOn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
