Hi Cyber,

These are GREAT questions, the same I'm asking myself all the time. But true, I don't think I can answer all of them a 100%...I guess I wouldn't be asking for advice on a discussion forum if I could

No, only several times for 2-3 weeks. But if I would decide to go for it, I would stay a while and check things out onsite before I get into
contracts etc.

YES, since 6 years, ever after my first Thailand visit I've been thinking of it all the time, but now I'm in a way better position to even consider it.

I've got my house in the UK which I could rent out, it's almost 45% payed off by now. I'm also in progress selling my house in Holland now since it's empty since 5 month, lettings are going very slow there, there's no demand, ppl rather buy now. Maybe I gain something from it, don't know yet. I got some saving yes, not really blowing though.

Should things go wrong, I strongly believe I can go back and get a job in the same industrie, being 34 now, should I wait until I'm 40 ?

No wife, no, but good question, I let you know should I choose that path Seriously, that would be an adventure I guess.

No experience running a business by myself, but at least I'm in the Internet business since 10 year.

Thailand hooked me and I always wanted to give it a try to live there, at least to give it one try. Besides, if I won't go for a business, I would consider to take a 1 year break, but I would be proud of myself if I could accomplish more than that.

Thanks for your reply !!
