Sunbelt Asia Posted August 23, 2004 Share Posted August 23, 2004 To start up or buy a Restaurant, do I need to go in with a Thai partner or can I go it alone?Depends on your nationality. Even if you would need to have Thai partners, several strategies to protect your interests so you are in control.How much money (monthly) do you need to live comfortably? Depends... I have a 50,000 Baht salary per month and live well. Others spend that in a night. Some foreigners however can live in Bangkok on 25,000 Baht per month, just depends on your lifestyle.

Maybe 10 years ago, OK but today ? Give yourself a pay raise ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angie Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Totally agree, 50,000, wish i could live on that! It just covers the beer. Angie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbelt Asia Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Pay raise, huh? I might just do that I do have stock so always looking forward to collecting higher dividends. But to be frank, a little money goes a long way here. When I'm in the States, forget about it! Money seems to be like water! I can spend more in two hours than three months in Thailand. www.sunbeltasia.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Pay raise, huh? I might just do that Dividends are fine and can be added. But just 50 K? Somebody from the States would be braking a law... . http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=11330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
