Who told her opening a coffee shop was a good idea?

Most falangs here in a relationship with a Thai give them a monthly allowance. Sometimes, it gets distributed out to other members of the family who are unable to work.

I don't suppose you are familiar with the expression "control freak".

But nobody anywhere else in South-East Asia gives or is asked to give their wives/girlfriends such an allowance,why is that?

Gold credit card was husband's idea, the rest was via the divorce magistrate, I was given 100% custody, but I gave them over to him for more cash and moved abroad. This probably makes me a bad person, but I don't really care about the kids, they were just a divorce negotiating ploy to get the house, I'd rather have cash.

Coldest statement I think I've ever read from a woman!

Why won't it work?  The ladies in our office take up orders for coffees once or twice a day.  They call the order in and send one or 2 ladies down to pick up 8-10 coffees at 40 baht or so.  Same thing at our warehouse in South Thailand.  There's a couple of shops in the boondocks that our people and others like them keep in business.

 

So the place looks desolate 90% of the time, but all they need to do is get 3-4 offices like ours and they have a going business.

 

I'd never judge a business unless I've seen at least a full business day, and better to see a week.  But who's got the time to sit outside to see how much they put out the door in spurts?  

 

A coffee shop with a small kitchen is also a good base to prep food for other family members who operate carts in high traffic areas.  I suspect that's why some coffee shops don't open until after the morning rush.  They load up a cart, make hay where the sun's shining and caffeine addicted workers are passing by, then retire to their coffee shop to sell some more coffee and get the cart ready for tomorrow's rush.  Throw in some cookies and cakes, and it's a genuine business.

Your get off the  subject no one said coffee shop don't work did they , it was about why some many of them and lots don't work.

Yup.  My bad.  Reading again, I can see where I misinterpreted your meaning.

It's not just Thailand the UK is the same,many a time previously on 'The Weakest Link' I've seen Ann Robinson grilling a contestant that labelled himself a 'Company Director',specifically with the line "So you own a coffee shop then?" and that wry smile on her face as Mr CEO turns beetroot red!

Phayao is 150 km from Chiang Mai. Unless MissAndry is more peripatetic than I think, I don't consider she can help you.

Haven't particularly noted coffee shops in the Phayao area. If it's any help, there is an aircon restaurant on the lakefront that does a very good garlic fish.

MissAndry seems to travel a bit and looks like she likes coffee so was worth asking

I've been there, no coffee shops, we should ship some Thai ladies over to start a few.

Usually the kind of man that posts this either is very insecure or has no money to give.

When you get married, no matter what country your wife is from, there should be a mentality of love, sharing, respect

My wife has a pocket full of American Express Platinum, American Express Blue, Citibank Diamond Card, BOA Platinum Travel, and more

If I could not trust her, I would have never gotten married

Just because your wife is Thai does not mean you cannot have a normal relationship if respect goes both ways

I hate grocery shopping. My wife has her own car and does this with the kid

More than glad to give her everything I have and more

A nice young Thai couple near me have just done it, built their own shop and accommodation on family land themselves. All the fittings made out of recycled scraps of Teak wood. If the shop doesn't work, they still have a nice house to live in. Really nicely fitted out, I'd be more than happy to live there.

Please be careful you entrepreneurs out there when dreaming up your business name in Thai (which seems invariably to comprise words starting with B or P.) Throughout the years, it has developped into an compulsive habit of mine to enter my local shopping mall by the 2nd floor back entrance where there is a small but always busy hair salon. Its nameplate above the front door, says "Welcome to Pee and Poo Hair Place."  

Quite often my eyes play tricks on me and I read  "...at My Place" instead of "Hair Place."

 Did you accidentally answer to another post on the wrong page? Live and park your gf? Guess you meant leave and park, but even then it makes no sense. Sorry, I might haven't read that it's about bar girls here.

  

   You're paying for your gf's friends' hair jobs? And what about the horny foreigners with more money?  A joke? 

 

Coffee shops pop up almost everywhere in our city and not to many people sit inside.

 

   I've tried a coffee once, served in a plastic cup inside the shop. 

 

Edited to add:

 

    It's the same with so many other shops here. One starts a business and it runs well. Then you can see a similar shop not far away and within a few months they're all over the city.

 

   They don't seem to recognize that they destroy each other's business by doing so. 

 

   

well i think it is a fine place to park your g/f .  oh and you are the only one talk bar girls ....scheeeeze  what a putz
