Of all the areas within Thailand, Lanna (and specifically the Chiang Mai area) clearly represents the greatest potential for growth in the near future... Real estate values can reasonably be expected to increase substantially.

The prime issue is: how can SMEs and foreigners make sound investiment in Thailand?

In fact, they have few options - few vehicles that allow them to invest here short of forming their own Thai corporation (leaving them with minority interest by Thai law) facing all the restrictions, rules and regulations that have been carefully created to prevent Thailand from being economically dominated by foreign investors.

The operation of a Thai corporation, nonetheless a foreign company operating in Thailand, is a huge undertaking that requires constant effort, excessive bookkeeping, government reports and monthly taxes, expertise and a sensitivity to local conditions that we assume you don not want to endure.
