Lots of people here do complain about the negatives here, but there is also a lot posted by people that have only came for a short vacation and see some bad or good and they have never lived here so really have no real idea about what they are talking about, some have even made more than 1 trip, but have never had to live here for extended periods..

But you did give some very sound advise.

And I think the success of a guest house is quiet and what food is on the menu and who cooks it as some folks, me included, do like to eat good farang food.

There is a lot of good women here, I am married to a Thai lady with a good edu. and she is a school teacher and the finest woman I have ever seen, My 5th wife and will be my last as she is a real keeper and has never seen the insides of a bar.

And as to worry about the cost of living while here looking for the right business, if you stay out of bars and shun most of the night life you will find the cost to you will be very minimal,You should find it very east to live well on 40,000 baht per month, rent and food included.
