5.5 Or 11 Million Investment Capital

[Desertexile]

Morning Folks,

Lets say you had 5.5 Million Baht available as investment capital to start a Thai based business, what kind of business would interest you and what kind of business do you think has the potential to be a winner?

Same question for the 11 million question.

Cheers

I would put it in forex, keep the money out of Thailand, work minimal hours, and have the freedom to travel when/where you want.

No bar and No happy hour. Keep it out of Thailand

I enjoy business and this would be to keep me busy. Also, its money that can be 'lost' as I believe any Thai based business should be potentially viewed as a worst case scenario.

Yes, of course - no bars!

Are you married to a Thai by chance?

You do not say what it is you already know and what you have experience doing... it does make a difference.

Course I am - Thailand wouldnt be a place Id open a business unless I had strong roots there.

What do you mean by what I 'already know'?

Just talk to some Thai friends. They will have plenty of ideas and I bet will even be willing to help you out and become a partner, manager, etc.

I'm sure it will keep you busy and you probably won't have to worry about that money burning a hole in your pocket much longer.

Not sure that I've met many folks that get into a business with an outlook that they are probably going to lose money, but good luck anyway.

Maybe invest in something that you could do as a hobby?

Go cart track? Driving range? Public fish ponds? Public pool? Motor bike drag stip.

it puzzles me to no end.... but on the other hand, i am not known to be smart either.... so here is the question....

the thai baht is not giving up much ground,

the pound is depreciating,

the dollar is sliding, etc

why wanna keep money out of thailand.... pls?

Gold shop.

Won't make much money from customers, but your stock will likely appreciate enough to make up for it. This would only be practical for the 11 million baht option. 5.5 would probably not provide enough inventory.
