What Kind Of Business To Start In Thailand

By Alan Mahon


There are many business opportunities available for foreigners that would like to start their own business in Thailand. But it is not so easy to choose the right industry to invest in. If you would like to find the Thailand's biggest moneymaking industry, take a look at the finance guidance that reveals details about the business climate in this beautiful and attractive country.

Thai demographic features are specific and you should learn more about them before starting your own business in this country. It will be a mistake to target foreigners only, as they will bring you only a small percent of earnings. Rather opt for business that will target local people and tourists alike, so that you get more profits from both groups.

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.

Another factor you need to consider when catering your business to foreign tourists only is the fact that there are military coups once a decade that might significantly affect tourism for some time thus affecting your business as well.

Taking all these factors into account, we can conclude that the most profitable business in Thailand is the one that targets locals mainly. The best option to go for is food industry because of the following three reasons: firstly, local people don't like to eat alone but rather in groups; secondly, just like everywhere, Thai kitchen starts giving up its place to Western foods and third, most apartments are not equipped with kitchen appliances like ovens or stoves.

Since the Thai apartments are not big, they cannot accommodate many guests and for this reason they prefer to eat outside. Usual practice of Bangkok workers is to eat on the go as a result of Western influence and the busy lifestyle. Rice meals that are traditional for Thais are currently replaced by sandwiches, pastries or breads for breakfast combined with coffee. For a lunch and dinner they attend fast food restaurants with family members and close friends.

Since food industry is considered to be the biggest moneymaking industry in Thailand, opening a fast food restaurant here will be a great business opportunity for you. If you want to attract locals, just provide comfortable atmosphere where they can dine out together. If you would like to attract foreigners as well, add some traditional Thai meals in the menu too.

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.
