no one has mentioned a great way to make money.. may not get rich, but dependable..
you start with small cobras.. as they get bigger you add chickens to their diets.. you can eat some of the chickens too
people don't steal them as they don't want to get bit...
when they get big, you kill them and sell the meat to villagers for food (quite tasty) and the skins for wallets, etc..
maybe you can even set up an OTOP for this too..

Or Crocodiles. No; when it floods they get away and people have been known to steal them.
What about Elephants. No they eat too much.
Ostriches? No that politician is doing that already he would have you shot.
Come on guys we need to think outside the box and help this man lose his money.

No, I'm still interested in the farming. I was just using the above as an example why maybe real estate ain't such a great idea. If I were going to do the rental business, it would have to be fairly low-end, as high-end is out of my reach, and even so, not likely to be all that profitable.
I think, more than likely, I will diversify. Say, 1,000 rai of land in several medium size plots (it's hard to find 1,000 all together). Run 3 or 4 different crops, i.e. sugar cane, rubber trees, mango trees, plus something else as yet to be determined. I will follow Dirty Guru's advice to purchase land up north where good land is around 10k baht per rai.
Additionally, I will operate some sort of business in town. Maybe a combo motorbike rental/repair/custom shop/and sales. After a while, if I make an overall profit beyond what I need to live on, I will buy small plots of land in town, perhaps derelict buildings, mow -em down, and put in a couple parking lots in strategic areas.
I don't think I will ever get into property rental in a 3rd world economy.
I will manage the farm less directly, participating directly during sowing and harvesting, buying and selling; then with maybe monthly visits otherwise. The business in town will be directly managed, but I still won't get my fingernails dirty. I'll be kicking my feet up in my airconditioned office in the back room, making my plans for world domination.
Of course I'm an idiot - why else would I be throwing everything away for a life in LOS?

My inlaw's up in Isaan farm. They grow rice, mangoes, and some other weird produce. They have cows, chickens, pigs and even have a fish farm. They also lease some of their land to other Thai farmers. They are living off the fat of the land. They are living so well they paid me sinsot to marry their youngest daughter. They are sending us money monthly, so that their daughter can enjoy the same comforts she's grown accustomed to in Issan in faragland.
I talked to the inlaws they are willing to franchise out. The franchise is called Issan Gentleman Farms Limited and for a mere 2 million baht they will get you started and on the road to wealth through farming in Issan.

Dr. Breeze:
I think you should open a chain of motorcycle powered noodle stands. They can drive around the city/country side, generally foul up traffic and serve lousy food for 15 baht.
It could be called McNoodles for Thailand. Put little arches over the stands and all.
The up side to this venture is you could maintain the mo'cys at your mo'cy repair shop and effectively double dip.

Hey, folks, it's time to stop reading this thread, as Dr. Cool has just about dropped the massive hint in his last reply, that he's just a troll.
Damn, where's that Smegma guy, when you need him - if Dr.Cooolbreeze were for real and just interested in dumping $$$ into losing ventures, they would be a match made in heaven.

There is a silly comparison (isaan and the opposite side of country chang rai )
: :
It makes me laugh reading most of this.
You can firstly easily dispell the notion
That rains wont come.
Trouble is they dont go away here.
Secondly unlike isaan The soil here is very fertile and rich.
::
Buy 100 calfs......plant 2000 mangoe trees
Have 4 fish (orange bass farms)
If you have a $200,000 US dollar budget
House $25,000 US DOLLARS 4 bedrooms
Mate go look around
bottom line is your not going to get rich farming
But ok
Last word isaan and this side two different fields of oppurtunity.

Man, no matter what a person says around here, there's always somebody to take it the wrong way. So then I have to explain myself over and over again.
I get one person calling me an idiot for expressing interest in buying a farm, then when I explore other options based on replies here, I get people calling me an idiot for that. Then, when I agree I'm an idiot, I get slammed for that. I started this thread to seek ideas, not to get trashed.
I'll be in Thailand 9 days from now, partly to party, partly to check out some options. Starting in Pattaya for a few days, then to Koh Chang, then into Isan. Anybody who wants to hook up can contact me - that includes you who think I'm a troll. And if you have a problem with me, I'd be more than happy to deal with you man to duck.
