100% agree with you on the investing piece: start as early as you can, invest as much as you can and watch the fees, then leave alone (manage, don't meddle) and let time work its miracle on the compounding interest side. Best of luck with the business!
You are so correct good sir. People need to invest mostly in ETFs. It's fine to play with an individual stock or two, as long as you learn to take your profits.
Why pay 3x the price of a local dentist, Hospitals are the most expensive
Dentist in Thailand can only give a local anesthesia. Hospital oral surgeons can give a general anesthesia. I want to be out. I'm allergic to pain sir.
@@CerebralAptitude Nobody needs a general for dental work
@@clivebaxter6354 Thanks for letting me know what I need or want for my own life.
Bleks.......hahahaha
I'm wondering wouldn't it be more profitable to run a bar there instead of a massage shop on that street? You already got the traffic and the rooms upstairs for extra activities. I'm sure you will need some different licences etc
Yes sir, it would be considerably more profitable and as I don't drink, it would not be problematic, but the startup expense is more than I care to invest.
@@CerebralAptitude Yes fair point, I hope you will have succes with the business. I also think its a smart move documenting the whole journey. It will show people how it is to start a business there as a foreigner.
but so many outgoings and major headaches running a bar compared to a massage shop
Where are you from? How long and how many times have you been to Thailand. I’m very curious to see how this plays out and I am wishing you the best🙏🏽
Thank you sir. I am retired early from corporate finance of 22 years and only on my 3rd month in Thailand. Traveled 23 countries, stopped off my first time to Thailand and decided to stay.
Wrong country for you. Go home old man
Good franchise like banana it will tell you about last or display model, these open shops have cheap chinese copy products, she probably gave you same product
So 47k in USD for 1.6m baht … dude got his retirement money and said peace out
You are in the wrong country doing business if you expect half the things you are expecting. Learn to plan for that or just pack up and go back to where you feel comfortable doing business before. When in Rome.
So dangerous 😳 It save if you used "paycheck" in big money for sue in court
If you're not willing to be patient, you will fail. Seen it a million times. Learn to be patient or just throw your money in the toilet.
Thank you for the advice good sir. In all my decades in business I've never heard that, honestly. Impatience may be a virtue, however it's not an obstacle for success.
@@CerebralAptitude It is in Thailand. Believe me, I've watched lots of guys, smartest guys in the room back in the West, crash and burn in Thailand because they jumped right in without knowing what was swimming in the water.
That buys 1 left Nike sneaker
I just subscribed. Good content, with more interesting stuff foreseeable.
I’ll make sure to make it worth your while good sir.
Garbage
You're a fool but that's nothing new
Never advertise how much you carry; you will instantly become a target. It can get you rolled up.
Lol...cool..carrying your life savings...find some swisher sweets/Mad Dog 20.20 and celebrate😂
Bro you must be crazy putting this on facebook. That much cash can get you kidnapped and carried off to Burma or Cambodia. Frfr don’t be stupid take this shit down
A weard bro....
'sorry to say but what was the point of this vlog?
Amen
Because you aren’t aware of how many people get tied up and robbed here. 😅
Happy Happy !!!! ( GREAT name for Your new venture , know what I mean )
Not really, as stated in the video, it's not that type of massage shop good sir.
@CerebralAptitude just kidding
How many foreigners have made money on a massage shop?
I haven't taken a survey, so I would have no consensus of this sir.
The answer is zero
Only 10% of your wealth is in this speculative business. That's completely ok, but if this is your 80% of your investments, then good luck with any black swan events.
Thank you good sir, I am a recently retired analyst from corporate banking for 22 years. I'm good. As stated in the video, it will not effect me if total failure. Hopefully, it will have success.
That's one heck of a bar fine
Hmm…interesting investment move so early in your retirement plans. Now, I see two opportunities for you here…if you decide to do it. 1, UA-cam content - show the step-by-step process of setting up this new venture (I mean show Everything the consultation with the Lawyer, purchase of the business, red tape paperwork, construction process, hiring, fees, etc.) 2, Daily running of the business activities once opened. (Unknowns, the wish I would have done this earlier, etc.). Good luck…I can’t wait to hear how this will turn out!
Indeed sir. I will certainly take a day to record the daily business running one time and the before and after, especially since I bought it January 15th and much work is being made to get it where I want. Thank you for the ideas.
I have had zero issues with being seen on a walk in. From Samui, to Phuket, to Hua Hin, and Bangkok. Bangkok hospital was on the spot. Bumrungrad was on the spot. The dentists i have seen for myself or brought my GF to, both of us right in with just a minimal wait. I had cleanings. fillings cracked teeth and an implant. My GF had issues last week with a partial bridge. Brought her in an we were out of there with new molds made and fillings in less than 2 hours. It took a little time to get the bridge back for the fitting, but it was a few days only.
Hopefully you will have that good fortune always in Thailand, good sir.
all you poor people having t0 wait days or weeks , poor poor people i just walk in and its done , I will not tell you where
I don't understand your point. There are places you have to wait and there are places you can get right in but why try to insinuate that it's not faster than most facilities in the west. Why wouldn't you call and make an appointment unless it's an emergency? Seems like you were setting yourself up for failure. It certainly doesn't make a good Thai hospital bad because you couldn't just walk in for immediate dental treatment. There are so many options out there.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I always appreciate updates. I'm jealous, can't wait to get back over there :-)
Quit blowing all those lady boys and you won't need a dentist so bad
It’s more expensive to buy western brands. And cheap eating in Thailand is usually based on street food.
Up until fairly recently I lived in Bangkok for three years. I used Bumrungard Hospital for all my medical issues. I was able to get medical appointments for different medical issues the same day or next day. But I contacted the hospital for an appointment. Not just walk in. There was only one type of specialist I had to wait a couple of weeks. Because she was the only doctor for that type of specialty. For dental I used dentists in private offices not in hospital. I was able to get an appointment within a couple to a few days. If you just wander in for medical or dental treatment . You might have to wait hours or not seen at all.
Was there people ahead of you that day waiting to see the dentist?
You should tell her the truth about her makeup. lol
Those are foul words. You must be very handsome with dozens of women falling at your feet.
You lack Cerebral Aptitude....
Charlatan dentist s always available.....
I do not get this at all , very negative.
it depends on the issue i walked in a saw two doctors derm, and eye doctor, I was able to walk in a see them the same day and within a few mins.
Once they get a hold of you for trying to 'defame them and their reputation', you might fiind that your crusade to 'tell the truth, about how it is' , could be very costly'. However your nickname tells us a lot about your lack of 'cerebral aptitude'. I don't think we're in Kansas anymore Toto!
You went to a hospital for dental work and then you complain they don’t have dentist on call for you… am I missing something here…?
right he could have gone to the dentist anywhere else and be seen the same day
Its easy to get a same day dental appointment. Shop around and stop moaning.
Yeah, just life like anywhere and depends on location, but most dentists are not sitting around. People on YT, many, oversell Thailand to get viewers. Thai people work hard to be chill. But with wrong timing or comment or situation, they will blow a stack and lose their sh!t. Then watch out. Never fight with a Thai person. I thought Thai people are easy going, and they are towards you to let you do what you wish. However, it goes both ways, so to be demanding and obstinate towards them is a recipe for disaster.
Thanks for getting the info out there on hospital situation! Great to know this for the future. Hope your treatment was a success!
Totally agree with your points on investing for long term financial success as soon as possible - if we just stick our money in the bank, inflation will reduce its purchasing power. On the other hand, as Einstein says, "Compound interest is the 8th wonder of the world. He who understand it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it". Another key point on investing IMHO is as Jack Bogle says, "You get what you don't pay for", i.e. watch fees like a hawk! There are lots of very informative YT videos on skilling up and getting into investing.
You truly stand out sir. Nice to know you have a plan to control your own life.
I'm very envious! Hoping to sell everything and make a similar move in the near future (9-18m). Congrats for starting your new life and wish you every success!
Mann…I’m not sure if you are joking about leaving Thailand or serious. Hopefully you are joking 🙃!
It's always just humor my brotha, but I will travel to a couple other countries.
@@CerebralAptitude Kool…before you decide to leave Thai to visit those European countries, I strongly recommend spending a month in Bangkok, and hitting few neighboring countries: Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia, etc….if you need a change of pace.
