Yes, someone else pointed out the peaks too. It’s interesting but is it a pattern? Would be nice to know!

Also, when comparing, we need to use the same currency as it varies. The original post was about AUD I think.

Moving into high season. But, I don’t mind being wrong. Do you have any method of prediction? Or any explanation for the strength of the baht?

Guest house, motel/hotel could work. It will take a lot if capital.

A little early for peak season but interesting information.

Also, there may be a peak due to many circumstances, especially against an individual currency, but it’s trends that show more. E.g. is it trending upwards or downwards? Against which currencies? 2 days ago the rate against the USD probably dropped, simply because the USD strengthened generally, but it may have held against other currencies. It’s not simple, that’s for sure.

The main season is November to February. A small peak around Songkran but I don’t think that’s foreign visitors.

Well ‘buddy’, there is no 60 day visa on arrival, buddy. There is, however, buddy, a 60 day visa exemption, to which I referred in my previous post. You don’t say the nationality of the passport with which you will be travelling, so I had to take a guess.

So, you will need Thai nationals as partners, I guess. Motorcycle tours could be tricky if you intend to be the driver.

There are various options including the Non-immigrant B visa, the Elite visa.

There are different requirements depending on the type of visa you choose.

There are many restrictions such as a foreigner can only own 49% of a company, the rest has to be owned by Thai nationals.

You need registered capital of at least 2 million baht.

It also depends on the nature of your business. What do you intend to do?
