That's not what he asked. He asked for no responses in bad taste, usually from blokes who's idea of a girlfriend is one you pay by the hour, a bit like their mothers. Tye major risk is likely the nature of the business. I wouldn't invest in a cannabis shop, given that the Thai government is looking to crack down on the trade due to public demand. It also depends where the business is. If in a developed area, the market is saturated, it's riskier.

Depend on the business. A two bed massage shop costs about 100,000 baht to kit out from a bare unit, then ongoing monthly costs of about 8000. Is that a substantial amount of money? Not really, I pay more for a sofa.

You don't know what the final changes will be. One can choose to be a wealthy global citizen or a wealthy pensioner, if one has enough moolah. Its an artificial distinction. And the Thai definition of a OAP doesn't match most Western definitions.

There are changes afoot. The $80k income requirement may be abolished if you meet an investment threshold. Cabinet approves easing of conditions for long-term resident visas 152
