Learn the language.
Wow! What a seemingly overwhelming project they took on. They are so brave. Very inspiring. I wish them much success with their business and life in Thailand. Follow your bliss. 🧡💛
Really curious about the type of contract you can get as a foreigner to do that and how you make sure all this work is not for nothing.
Good luck 👍
Very brave to invest so much into a business that will never be 100% yours, leasing land from the Thai partner and owner of the land Chanote.
Foreigners cannot freehold land in Thailand.
All the best to them!
Dealing with local officials will give them grey hairs quickly 😅
A young couple following their dream, what's not to like about that? Hopefully, their story gains traction and is a boon towards the business. Clearly, there's risk involved (as there is for all investments), but the biggest reason that people fail is simply by never even starting. Chok dee khap.
Fantastic !
Thank you ❤️
I've been living full time in Thailand for 20 years, and still debating the type of business and location to invest in with my Thai partner. Still doing neccessary "sums" "challenges of seasons" "ROI". Best of luck to newbies rushing in like fools.
Fantastic!😊 you are living
Looking forward to a cocktail on the beach when we visit at the end of December. Good luck and see you soon xxx
There is a 50% chance the landlord will kick them out once everything is fixed and ready to go. Lovely Thai people only applies to the poorer people, the rich Thais are some of the worst.
hope I’m wrong, the big winner here may be the land owner
Like your honesty I knew silver spoon was somewhere . Not sure how old you are but by 30 you should easily have 300k in pocket . Maybe cooperate jobs are not as good as roofing.
Beautiful story! I wish you guys all the best for your project. Stick together no matter how big of a rocks come in your way and it will work out for sure ❤
Great to see you both having a go, never give up,there is always a way
Love it the way you talk about your girlfriend, the way you perceived her the first time when she came in at your work! Describing her with her Beautiful aura✨💫 She’s defintely like annangel from heaven coming doen to create heaven on earth together with you!💫✨🪅wish you a lot of luck love and joy!!
And I believe there is nothing more fulfilling than building up with your own hands from scratch! See so many young couples do! A friend of mine in Kenia, no running water, no electricity, and now she runs a Beautiful farm with 80 staffmembers and in this way providing work to locals and with educational projects for the kids from school!
They’re incorporating new buildingtechnics that are more sustainable, they’re there own plummer and electricien I find it amazing! Keep up the good work and keep up the good Spirit ✨💞✨
Yes please a follow up on this amazing journey and wishing them all the best .
I will visit one day now that I live and retired in Bangkok.👍👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏👌
They also meet up with setback, earth is cleansing right now, but they continue, they don’t want to go back to the way it was and find contact more inspiring and rewarding with like minded People!! 🎉
All the best to them love happiness success 🙌 ❤️ 💕
Awesome Story, they deserve the best! Will be calling by for a beer when I’m around!
