hanging around with a predominately thai crowd could be more a backward step than a forward one. i would never want the wife working in a thai dominated environment, all the thai bullshite is so obvious to see in these places. to her credit she stated to me she did not wish to work in a thai dominated workplace.

even if the work is not paying much of a salary, its just the forward step they are making imho,the amount of salary does not matter, my wifes salary per week is what i can earn for a 8 hours day overtime.

the business would not be at all involved with a thai community
it would be a thai catering buisiness for farangs, for lack of a better word, that would like to have thai food at their parties

again, i agree with all of you, but if the business is going to do as well as been percieved, it would be hard to pass that up
i am also extremely social. we would be spending most weekends at Whistler mountain where she will be interacting with more non-thais than i think she will want to 55555
