What Kind Of Business To Start In Thailand

By Alan Mahon


Great many foreigners would like to take advantage of the opportunity to open their own business in Thailand. However, most of them do not know where to start from and which is the biggest moneymaking industry in Thailand. The following Thailand finance advices will help you find the greatest Thailand's industry to invest money in.

The specifics of Thai demographics are the first thing you need to learn to be able to start successful business in this country. Since the foreigners are only a small percentage of the Thai economic, it is wise to not target tourists only. You will benefit more, if your business targets locals and tourists alike, so that you will get enough number of clients and bigger earnings.

You will greatly benefit, if you invest in business with less competition and which is well-liked by locals. Obviously, opening a go go bar is not a wise decision, as locals will not visit it because of moral and ethical principles in their society. If you target tourists only, you are likely to suffer losses, as tourists may choose many other venues available around.

Keep in mind that if Thais love your business, they will keep coming back to you, so targeting a foreign market only will be a big mistake in terms of making good profits and gaining popularity.

If you still would like to cater your business to foreigners only, consider also the fact that once a decade military coups occur that affect tourism. This will surely affect your business as well if you target tourists only.

All these factors reveal the necessity to target local people mainly. Three main reasons prove that the food industry in Thailand is considered to be the best moneymaking business opportunity in this region: first, locals would rather eat in big groups than alone; second, the Western influence can be felt in Thailand when it comes to food too; third, it might sound strange, but there are no kitchen appliances like ovens or stoves in Thai apartments.

Thais prefer to eat together with their friends outside, as their apartments usually are too small to accommodate large groups. Bangkok workers usually eat on the go due to their busy lifestyle and Western influence. Traditional meals with rice are now replaced with breads or sandwiches, pastries and coffee for the beginning of their working day. Thais regularly visit fast food restaurants to have a lunch and dinner with their family and friends.

So opening a fast food restaurant in Thailand can be quite a profitable business, especially if you provide a comfortable atmosphere for local people to eat and relax together. You can even include some of the popular local meals in your menu to attract tourists as well. They will surely visit a restaurant loved by locals to try some of the traditional for this country meals.

Mobile food trucks are also profitable for this area. They will work well in Bangkok and other big cities and will quickly gain popularity among scholars and workers who search for cheap and tasty food.
