When I invest, it will be my own business. Well, 50% of it anyway. The rest will be a large group of silent investors who have very little voting power over the business. But why do you say that?

Skallywag Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 Bed and Breakfast place sounds like a great investment...in the USA - 555. Know nothing about it in Thailand other than there are thousands of good cheap hotels and what I have read here on TV seems work permits and the hiring of Thai employees is a must. Sounds like you found a great lady though, all the best to you 1 1

Sounds like you found a great lady though, all the best to you Thanks! Like I've said, the couple I'm investing with already successfully running one and we've discussed all those things - their lawyer handles everything. They have mentioned that Thai employees is a must and they have those. They also clarified all the rules of work permits, etc. I'll do my due diligence. 1 2

Especially one who works in or owns a bar. The female bar owners play all the Farangs. That is how they get the money to be able to open a bar. I would be willing to bet there was originally a Farang partner in the first bar she owned who was forced out. 4 1 2

I would be willing to bet there was originally a Farang partner in the first bar she owned who was forced out. I appreciate your input and in most cases like this, you're probably right. Maybe even also in this case. But if I was "very naive", I would be going into this totally blindly and not here asking others about their experiences and inputs. I am skeptical and not 100% trusting in my own intuition and nature. But thanks for your advice - at least I know I'm not just paranoid.

I’ll supply’s an anecdote. I was sitting in a coffee place in Nimman in Chiang Mai a few years back. In came a western guy and two professional looking Thai people. I couldn’t help but hear the conversation. The guy owned a business with a similar arrangement to you, he puts up the cash but has silent partners. It appeared that the silent partners managed to force his resignation and take over his business. No doubt by foul means. He will spend a lot of money on legal advice but he may get nowhere, another Farang taken advantage of by “clever” Thais. Thais won’t view them as criminals, just smart Thais. My advice is the same as the last guy, either don’t do it or only do it with an amount of money that you can easily lose. Just don’t bet the farm.

Yes this was one of my first questions/apprehensions too actually. The best way to avoid that is to have several small investors who don't know each other, each owning only a few percent - arranged by a reputable lawyer. I would personally never ever invest with only a few partners on the other half. Edited March 13, 2019 by sofreshnsocleanclean

I said reputable, as in other expats have experience with them and recommended. Not just some random lawyer from the Thai phone book.
