deepdiver Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Just a simple question from a lowly carpenter with a small pot of gold and without a rich father. Is a guesthouse feasible in an Isaan village? Any other options? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ask lampard 10 he's an expert ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mpdkorat Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 if someone set up a decent homestay/small guesthouse halfway between kk & korat, i would frequent it for a couple weeks a year as staying at the mil's is a pain in ass what with the giant mossies & no aircon & the hassle one normally gets from a mil <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes I agree with that. I would like to open such a place myself, but not enough funds. There is a steady stream of both Thai and farangs that would find use for such a guest house/bar/restaurant.

aletta Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 (edited) Yes I agree with that. I would like to open such a place myself, but not enough funds Maybe all the chaps in the area could band together and build a guesthouse.The companys 51 per cent Thai shareholders could be the wives/girlfriends.

peter991 Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 Interesting points raised in this thread, but you have to consider that the majority of short-stay visitors would be Thai. Prior to getting a house built in Issan, I used to stay at the local Resort. Beautiful chalets; small by western standards, but with air-conditioning and western toilet and shower. Speaking with Duan's German husband, Johann, he explained that occupancy is close to 100% all year round as many Thai men take their mia noi (minor wife) to the chalets for a 'short time.' I think for a Resort to be successful you have to treat it like any other business: find your market, find out what your market wants, then supply your market.
