Panhandler007 Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 Open up a liquor store in your wife's name is always a hit. Although not in Issan, we live in rural Thailand and my wife makes a good bit of change loaning money to gamblers, and such. Underground casinos always make money. Some people will run numbers and such, especially on pay days. Lots of easy money to be made out there. Learn the vices and form a business plan. My ladys mom loaned out $1 million bhat, got burned.

mstribling Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Nike and all the other Western companies seem to be doing alright. As to loan sharking, what happens when a bigger shark decides that he wants to eat your fishes instead of you? You go under. Same as any business. You didn't know that?

The father of my gf was involved in public infrastructure when he started working, it helped him making connection that was very helpful to him when he later started his own company. He is now retired and when I've time I drive him around meeting old friends, I discovered a face of Isaan that very few foreigners know. A lot of things going on in the country side, a lot of money is made there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As to loan sharking, what happens when a bigger shark decides that he wants to eat your fishes instead of you? Nike etc are hardly "wannabe entrepreneurs". Sensible loan sharks take land deeds as security... and the bigger shark will do the same. That means he can't eat your fishes, because you have the security. Well, where I come from, when the big shark wants what you've got, he bites you until you give it to him. Loan sharking isn't really a business, it's a racket.
