Udon Thani, Thailand Business and Pleasure!

Udon Thani province is extremely popular for pensioners from western nations. Possibly typically the most popular area to exist in Thailand. Also within the neighboring provinces like Nong Bua Lampu and Nongkai live many pensioners from around the globe. Many of them go frequently towards the town of Udon to complete some shopping, visit buddies, eating in western style restaurants or getting fun in bars and discos.

Exactly why is Udon Thani very popular?

* living costs is comparatively cheap

* Real cheap accommodation (rent)

* Good infrastructure

* There’s an airport terminal, train station and many bus stations

* Acceptable health care

* The night life offers everything as with every other large Thai city

* Near Laos

A lengthy-term resident authored in Udon Map magazine – in 2008 – that lots of bars and restaurants won’t attract enough clients to become lucrative within the short or long-term. I’m able to state that now, May 2011, that that resident designed a rather accurate forecast. Only a few western style institutions are earning a small profit. Most are available.

So, if you’re upon the market but you just feel active and you need to open a cafe or restaurant or perhaps a bar it’s possibly not recommended.

A great opportunity would be to dominate a current business having a living accommodation, not associated with the night life. So you don’t need to rent in order to purchase a house.

Presuming that the amount of westerners (pensioners) within the province Udonthani, Nongkai and NongBua Lamphu is between 10000-13000 there’s a potential in selling western food items.

I observe that pensioners, who live in rural areas, regularly shop in Udon Thani city because lots of items aren’t obtainable in their areas. Items like sausage, western sausages, baked beans, imported meats, Hewlett Packard sauce and finally “ready to use western food” like pies, Cornish pasty, different type of stews.

To create a food retail business it’s essential to be considered a sole agent of some importer(s) in Thailand plus some reliable local providers. I understand just one business which established fact in Udon and sells such type of items which is “Chern Chim Quality Meals”. I have no idea the way they get it done, but the standard sausage of Chern Chim is a lot less than the sausage of Tesco Lotus. Chern Chim supplies many Udon restaurants that provide British breakfast.
