Running a bar at a distance, feasible?
A very trusted friend of mine has proposed to me to open a bar in Pattaya, the money is not what you would call big money and he seems to have the “right” girls to place, my concern is: none of us will actually settle there (at least for the immediate future) and I wanted to know if anybody has tried this. Farang not there, the till is always open and we will have to assume that petty theft and rounding will be done on a daily basis. Nobody opens a bar with the purpose of getting rich, but still, waste money is not my aim either.
Does any of you run or know someone that runs a bar from their home country or would that be perceived to be a tad too naïve?
Now a rhetorical question: A comprehensive guide, website or other where I could get fully acquainted with all the laws, options, dos-and-donts of buying your own business in LOS?
Thanks

I want to buy a ring with one of the above precious stones (don't ask me why?).
In your travels can you advise which country / city in your experience offers best quality / prices?

Buying Genstones in Thailand
Easy... just go the the Erawan Shrine and stand on the street corner looking like a tourist. One of the helpful local citizens, probably a doctor, policeman, lawyer, etc., will be more than happy to recommend a shop owned by a relative or friend of theirs who just so happens to be having a special sale. They will even arrange transportation for you.
You're absolutely correct
[QUOTE=Member #2041]The point was, if you want information about buying gemstones, this is not the place to find that expertise. This is the place to find expertise about scoring hookers in asia. I believe that in seeking advice on the purchase of gemstones in Asia on this forum, you are entering into a mission for which you are ill prepared, and ill-informed about how to become prepared. On the other hand, if you want advice on getting P4P companionship in various asian locales, then, you've come to the right place.[/QUOTE]
What a silly place to ask such an important question - if the author is qualified to distinguish real vs. fake/artificial gems, he would also know the answer to his own question and not ask on ISG (not to say we don't have our own set of gems on this board).
