What are the considerations for investing in a massage studio in Thailand as a foreigner?
What if, as a stranger, I invest in the massage studio and get 10% - what is your experience
Answer summary
The conversation discusses the viability of investing in a massage studio in Thailand as a foreigner, including the need for a Thai partner due to local laws requiring majority Thai ownership. While some express optimism about the business opportunity, others caution against investing for only a 10% stake, highlighting the challenges of profitability in a market saturated with massage parlors and the complications of working legally in Thailand as a foreign investor.

You can invest but you can’t work. Income is like working so don’t think it’s a good idea and will not be a happy end

@Neil *******
that’s not true. You can take quarterly profits. Returns on an investment if structured correctly is different than a salary.

why not open your own massage studio? Great idea, not many of them around, maybe open up a bar while you are at it could be big business

Pour avoir un salon de massage il faut t'associer avec un thaïlandais a
Ensuite tu embauche des masseuses qui travaillent pour ton salon
Mais 10% c'est pas assez car ici les prix sont faibles , il y a plein de salon de massage partout
Bonne recherche
