I would say that the vast majority invest into a biz and act as its owner while it is then run either well or not by Thai management and staff...

I know a few expats who trade financial instruments for thier daily bread.. Not an easy buck IMHO but with time and patience it is a skill that can be learnt..

I know lots of oil and or contract workers.. Shift rotation allows for lifestyle in Thailand in off shift times.. Pay is good but the work is hard, unpleasant, in parts of the world that you wouldnt be visiting by choice.

Any kind of skill that can be telecommuted is good.. Of course then yo have to fight off the masses of indian etc educated and hard working people out there who will undercut you.

Property development, sales, etc.. Boom inductry here for the last few years..

Then there is the 1 in 100 who has a genuinely good idea and works it through.. I remember Rick from Simple computers had a ncie idea in providing an offsite SW backup solution for hotels.. no matter what happened thier booking data was protected.. Nice origional idea I thought..

I myself have a couple of ideas that no one else has come up with. If I wasnt so lazy I would implement them..
