Opening A Restaurant - Legal Considerations?

[mac.wheeler]

Hi folks.

My girlfriend has decided she want's to open a very small restaurant, mainly to give her something to do whilst I am working.

I'm keen on making sure everyting is legal, are there and licences needed? Maybe to sell alcohol? Anything at all?

Thanks in advance.

bf isn't opening a restaurant, gf is opening a restaurant and gf is paying for it, bf is just making sure gf does it properly.

Well we are only talking snacks and drinks, not a la carte in any way Plus we already have the space attached to our house on a main road so start up costs are next to nothing. I'm just trying to make sure she isn't going to be buying me a headache further down the line

Register sole proprietorship and alcohol license, food license, cigarette license if she will sell tobacco.

Thanks sunbelt, and where does she need to apply for these? We live on Koh Phangan, would she need to visit the government building?

no offense but i dont think a non thai would want to spend their time and effort doing this kind of business. all signs point to the lady being thai.

What about music/performing rights licences for any cheesy background music that might be played in the background, too?
