Investment Thailand

To do agriculture in Thailand , not difficult and not easy. If your land have good soil, enough water, it's excellent. My husband is English, we're living in Surin city , just came for permanent living here almost 1 year. We do organic biologic agriculture, made fertilizer. We can talk about agriculture issues.

My comment: Obviously you (the OP) are living the provincial life, and becoming a bit stir-crazy (no offense intended),...eh?

FYI. Even the poorest of Thai people, already have the  "meat & potatoes" they need to sustain their daily existences. A foreigner (with money "to burn") simply provides the "the gravy".

So, do yourself a huge favor there,...young man,...

1~ Keep your hard-earned money, in your own bank acct...

2~ Get involved w/ an interesting personal hobby of your own self-generated, academic interests. Not someone else's project.

3~ Invest your hard-earned money into the best (fiber-optics) high-speed internet, and/or satellite available,...in your area. That's the best philanthropic farang ROI.
 
4~ Keep these senior years of your life, the simplest ever, and enjoy a stress-free retirement.

5~ Read the book "Money Number One" (google it).

You're welcome,...to the Kingdom of Thailand. Best regards,...

When you die you can get nothing. But when we alive we need happy and good health. That why my husband and I agreed to do agriculture for life. We're growing everything we wanted to eat and eat everything from our garden without chemical, pure organic which we can not do in England and we are both fit benefit.

I realize it all depends of many factors here but the land is available already, the local expertise present too, but, obviously there is a shortage of necessary finance.

Perhaps I misread the word-flow of your original post,...as meaning that some of the provincial "locals" were attempting to get you (rich farang) financially involved with one of their "projects".

I personally know of a foreigner, who literally lost his entire life savings, in that same provincial vicinity, by investing in an agricultural project. Thus the spirit of my first reply.

Again, no offense intended, beyond my making an adamant attempt of steering you away from (what I perceived to be) an inevitable farang catastrophe. Good luck and best regards.

Yes, I understood what you were telling and advising me. One hears so many stories about this subject, and unfortunately, most are not really positive. I appreciate you sharing your expertise on this and it was just to hear from people like you what risks could be involved. So I better keep my savings for myself, as you referred to, because investing in Thailand as a foreigner doesn't seem to be the wisest thing to do. Another matter is that I've never been the investment type of guy!
Wish to thank you for the time you took out of your schedule to give me your thoughts and opinion. Finally I appreciate you still see me among the "young generation"  hehe!! Kidding.
Wish you the best, dear.
