"UPDATE! The asking price has been reduced from 2,850,000 baht to 2,000,000 baht, for a quick sale.
This award winning upscale Bangkok Restaurant features an Art Gallery, and has a very favourable lower Sukhumvit location. The owners are moving location however, and taking the name and menu with them; this means that investors have the opportunity of taking over the successful venue, but must come up with their own theme. The new owner or owners will be gaining a great location, valuable assets worth 6,000,000 baht, an attractive lease contract, and an existing set of loyal customers who may wish to follow the present owners, but who, it is felt, may also be prepared to sample the new venture. The current owners feel that they have priced the business to sell, and will accept much less than asset value. The venue provides alfresco dining via a rooftop garden, a ready to operate top range kitchen and bar, all equipment, a modern interior design, professional gallery lighting, wall fixtures and comfortable high quality furniture; the only things that will be removed will be the paintings themselves. A long lease is available, and it is felt that the landlord will be amenable to a six year contract with monthly rent set at a maximum rate of 120,000 baht per month, although this is negotiable. The restaurant has been successful for the last five years, and although the owners wish to only disclose full financial results to interested parties, they are happy to reveal that receipts of approximately 8,500,000 baht per annum are coming in. (BKK13223)
Total Investment to Own: 2 million baht.
UPDATE! The asking price has been reduced from 11,850,000 baht to just 5,800,000 baht, for a quick sale.
This offering features an award winning upscale Bangkok Restaurant with an Art Gallery in a very favourable lower Sukhumvit location, along with two outlets in a food court in one of the city's most popular shopping malls. Two different brand names are involved, and both will be acquired by the new owner or owners, as well as assets valued at approximately 7,500,000 baht. The main venue provides alfresco dining via a rooftop garden, a ready to operate top of the range kitchen and bar, all equipment, a modern interior design, professional gallery lighting, wall fixtures and comfortable high quality furniture. A long lease is available, and it is felt that the landlord will be amenable to a six year contract with monthly rent set at a maximum rate of 120,000 baht per month, although this is negotiable. The three outlets have been successful for the last five years, with annual receipts of approximately 12,000,000 baht yielding net profits of roughly 3,000,000 baht per annum. Owner relocation necessitates the sale, and the buyer will acquire a registered joint venture company with an excellent credit history, no loans, no debts, and work permits for three foreign employees. The contemporary concept is well known throughout Asia and is recommended by several major travel guidebooks. The owners feel that they have established a perfect franchise model suitable for presenting trendy and healthy fare throughout Asia and beyond. (BKK13252)
Total Investment to Own: 5.8 million baht. "

Money for which one,, or both????
NAHHH you'd spend my money on trying to find a mamma-sun
Swiss Franc = 30 BAHT,, you should be rich!!!
I'm spending money getting another farm,, 25 Rai. After the complete failure of my 14 rai farm with returns on investment being ZERO,, I've decided to expand the Franchise, but this time I have a secret,, NONE of my ISAAN FAMILY involvedand, no Isaan people to have any authority.

Mel, wouldn't it be wise to get your current plot up and running successfully before you expand your operation?.I guess if you have pots of dough then you can disregard above
Who are you putting in charge of the operation? If you weren't happy with the workers work ethic last time do you think your new boss will be able to motivate them?

well,
I can just say after seeing a thai actor friend loose his butt on a restaurant in BKK in 2005...
and another Danish friend do the same (RTB, and BK met both) they didnt meet with much success.
My idea on a restaurant in Thailand is this:
buy a place that you can live in...hopefully in a cool place like Ko Chang or something like that, and dont expect to make serious money but expect to pay for your lifestyle.
If you can do that and have income from home country then its all good...
thats what I hope to have when I open my place there...probably not Bangkok and 100% not Pattaya...even though that would be cool..
It boils down to one thing, I know as a former restaurant owner, drinks...you make most of the money on them and it isnt very lucrative in Thailand......
my 2 baht worth,

Tezza,, I could write for page after page,, but summary is,, my Thai side of the family and from what I've seen 99% of Isaan people are brain dead, lazy money sucking parasites.
I've given up on the idea of ever getting any return on the 14 rai and or any of my money sent toward it's developement,,,,,, luckily it's value has risen substantially ( not luck actually,, just used the old position/position/position criteria when purchasing.
The 25 rai are far enough away from my blood-sucking in-laws so it would be way to inconvenient for them to get involved. I'll be advertising for a manager,, I assure you he / or she will be Thai or Thai/Chinese NOT Isaan. He will direct and control the labourers, follow the plan, be accountable, be responsive to problems, be able to plan ahead, be able to tie his own shoe-laces and generally be NON Isaan.
AHH perhaps I am being harsh,,, I have not known people from all parts of isaan,,,, just one large town but I can assure you those people are dead set loosers.
In that home-town I have met only 3 families that I coinsider reasonably successfull, not SUPER rich, but have succeded,,, not one of those families had it's leader born in Isaan. And what's more that success will be lost,, yep their children born in home-town and and are basically brain-dead.
It's almost like this town has poison daffy duck water.
Down the track, I figure the 14 rai can be sold off as part of my retirement plan and the 25 rai can be worked under good = non Isaan management.
<< Mel has just about had enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which one - the 2 mio Baht, or the 5.8 mio baht...?
Quite a drop in asking price.
I'm with atl on this one - Restaurants have a very high failure rate, though if you have a great plan, a valid business plan, and are able to execute well, then you will be successful, every time.
The better solution, I believe, really does combine what atl suggested, which is living in the place where you work -- though I would go one step further, and suggest skip leasing or renting the property, but instead buy the building, then live in it and set up shop in it. Better, buy the adjacent buildings as well, and rent them out - you generate more or less assured income, and you have a business and a place to stay that you aren't getting kicked out of...
Takes more money, maybe, but you buy security with it.

Wife and I are thinking of opening a Thai restaurant near our home. Thai is very popular and there is not a decent Thai restaurant within an hour of our house. I like the name Tamarind...think I'll take that! In Chattanooga, TN there is a place called Thai Smile.  That's kind of nice as well.

"Mai Pen Lai"
