New challenge - to set up a business in Thailand 2011

What will this bring ? Will there be setbacks ? Will the company be able to move forward and grow from strength to strength ? 

      Thailand is a land of contrasts. A very welcoming people, divisive politicking, and a minefield for business investors. The appearence of any so-called 'easy money' is just a mirage. Don't be fooled by any get rich quick scheme here or anywhere else in the world.

       If it sounds or seems too good to be true, IT PROBABLY IS.
