Paul Buckley it took a lot of work. I basically rebuilt my business so that in 3 years time it would pay me simply by my customers paying their bills (its a telecoms company

So by the time i moved here i had a consistent stable profit and salary on strong foundations that meant we all still got paid even if we stopped selling for a few months. Took my best friend on as a shareholder to keep it organised and run it operationally from the UK and nowadays all i need to do is grow it to increase that income further. When i got here life became calmer, i could think creatively again so i learned software development using youtube for a few years nowadays i jist develop products and software from thailand to grow the business while vicky runs operations from the uk.
Just about to launch this, which i made to enable anyone with ambition and a computer to do the same thing without the hassle it took us to get started so if all works out hopefully i can help others do the same

Learning thai, i just wrote down several common phrases in thai along woth writing how it sounds/os pronounced, got used to that then ended up with my current thai girlfriend who doesnt speak any english at all and has lived with me for about 4 years now so i pretty much live in a thai school as practically everything we say to eaxh other from the moment we wake up is in thai lol. Its like learning to swim in the deep end 😂😂🤣
A good route is to get the ED visa for thai language study for your first year here. Its super chilled learning and you learn a lot about the language which opens so many doors that many foreigners never get to open.
