Have a look at the gazette classified and go back awhile, there are always cafes and restaurants listed, should give you some idea of whats going and prices.
You will need licenses for all sorts of things, and these licenses need to be either in a Thai name or a company name. Now talking companies that raises lots of other issues.
As I always say to people talking about coming here and buying a business, if it is going to be your only source of income, realistically the chances of you failing and have to resort back to other forms of work back home, are extremely high.
There are very few money making businesses in Patong at the moment, and most people are working on the borderline every month.
I've even got the opportunity to go and work in IT again, something which I dont want to do, but realistically in the current environment here in Phuket, I would be silly to knock back the work.
Sorry if I sound so negative about it, but you need to know how things really are here before making your decision to up and move. By all means ask more questions, and there is no such thing as a stupid question.
