Hi all, My Thaii wife plans to set up a stall selling food or drinks by the road side as we can see very commonly in BKK.but she has totally no idea on how to do it.can anyone in this forum advise a little?

1)Rules and Regulations

2)License requirement

3)Start Up Capital

I have a Tai friend who just opened a fruit stand near Korat. He had to go to the nearest Highway Police office, which for him, was in Chaiyaphum and get a permit. They told him the rules and regulations, which all seemed sensible, and he set up shop.

As to 'startup capital' an answer to this some what silly question might be that it could cost from 100 baht to a million baht depending...

Just do it and see who comes along. My wife said you don't need and permit and its free apart from certain area or if your causing an obstruction. "Should" be free but may get asked for a little tea money. But The beauty of it is you can just move location if one local bobby is too demanding or you think the customer traffic might work better elsewhere.
