Hi,

Have only been in Chiang Mai for 4 weeks but what a wonderous,
beautiful, relaxed and layed back way of life - that we would love to
become part of and contribute to.

We are hoping that you people who know can offer some advice and tips?

Without giving too many details away, we think we have identified a
fantastic opportunity, as a business, and as a project in Chiang Mai.

We are actors and artists from the UK, and would like to establish and
run a project here in Thailand - but have some questions that
residents might help with?

1. Is it possible to RENT premises without buying the business?

2. Would a business model of a co-op work here in Thailand?

3. Having read 'How To Establish A Business In Thailand' we
understand the need, and would value, a partnership or co-op business
with local Thais. Could anyone advise How we might find Thai partners
for the project, that share our passion and vision for the venture?

4. If the co-op model isn't right for Thailand, and we can't RENT
premises, is there aywhere to find potential investors and/or Thai
patrons of the arts?

5. Work Permits - What would be the best way to obtain or work here?

6. Does anyone enjoy theatre, and miss the chance to visit the theatre
for a night out?

The basic idea of what we have in mind of course can be copied, but
the nature, style and USP of the project cannot.

Only exploring possibilities at the moment. Really appreciate any
advice or tips from anyone.

ThanKs,

Pete
