Even if you don't get along with that individual at least you can venture on your own once you have learn the ropes. Always try to network with as many people as you can, nice people or not lol...

Well I am going to take about a six month vacation there in late Nov.
Before I go back to work. I will definetly take your advice about networking and 6months will give me time to get some what of a feel for how things work over there. I am thinking maybe if I have $150k U.S.D I could start up a descent buisness and still have a nice cushion until the ball gets rollin.
I could also use some suggestions for apartments within the patong karon area. I saw some on a couple other threads. But I would think there would be a website like we have back home. Apartments.com or rent.com. but for thailand. any good suggestios?
