1BADDAT Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks to everyone for their suggestions. Some were very useful, and some were exactly what one might expect from certain quarters To those who suggested I should talk to my wife, do you really think that that wasn't my first step? I'd started out out with an idea, and purposely did not say what that was: I am pleased to see that no one came even remotely close to what we have in mind, which suggests that there aren't (too many) similar operations and certainly none near the location we have in mind. And, for the purpose of clarity, it isn't a bar, nor is it a happy-slappy-soapie-shop. There are far too many of both of those. Anyone setting up new ones, certainly in CM, needs their bumps felt. Summary part 2:-anyone who didn't know the details I left out is an idiot. -my idea for a business is so unique that you couldn't come up with it. -I am not going to tell you my idea to purposefully be irritating.

jerojero Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 A business where you are prepared to lose all the money you spend on it. Once accepting that, ask her what she wants to do. Far better for you, her, and your investment if she's truly into it from the start (before you spend your money). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razzler1973 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 With your situation, pensions, money in bank and rental income I wouldn't bother with a business. Life's short, sit back and enjoy it! If I had a business I'd maybe try to have one locally and have people working there with the missus over seeing and not integral, not too much outlay either, small business to make a bit rather than big investment expecting big returns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangkokjulia Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Op, have you checked out the McCrap school of Business Start ups? Alternatively, what about a 99 baht breakfast establishment? They seem to do well in Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gutenberg Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 The big problem I think is, if you start up a small business and it becomes successful, the Thais would just copy it. It's good, it's called capitalism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattayahenry Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 very likely your wife just needs some backup-money, maybe she wants you to buy a laundry or beauty shop, where her sisters can work, and she can sell it anytime, if she needs more money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
