    We started watching your channel from the beginning. Loved watching you and Maybelle. We understand that maybelle is a mom now, but how about showing maybelle.. I am a mum of 3 grown kids but dont understand why maybelle can't be in your vlogs. It is getting repetitive now with you just showcasing your business. How about showing interesting things in phuket.

    When you run a business in Thailand, your best case scenario is usually breaking even, so congratulations on staying afloat for this long. Your optimism and ambition is impressive, but I fear it’s delusional to think you’ll be able to dig yourself out of the hole you created by moving to Thailand with no money, no passive income, no remote work. It’s time to focus on working remotely for a western company, or going back to the UK and starting a business that you can eventually run remotely from Thailand.

    Are you guys not on grab already?
    It's a great idea to offer air bnb's a menu. Maybe do a deal with the owners but they'll be happy to display that option for their guests as it adds to their available services.
    Also offer them a welcome basket? Even offer it to the owners for free. Some essentials with a menu? You could do a basic one, minimal cost, with the aim of getting your menu in front of their guests.

      ​@@neilblondell4235I second this. Choose a career that you can do or replicate in any part of the world. Online work. Use your 20's and early 30's to work your ass off, get some savings behind you then find a partner who makes you feel young in your 40's. Aim to be in a place you are happy to be in by 40 as your life slows down a lot. I left it too late, I'm 43 now and I wish I had found south east Asia in my 20's and had more of a target to where i wanted to be now back then.

    Hey Richie! Stay the course Richie; I'm with you Brother! Keep on keeping on! OMG! I commented before you repeated my thoughts. Being a former restauranteur, I mentioned the same thing to Dee, the Thai owner of Asiati;que Eatery in Ventura, CA where I had lunch yesterday July 5th planning my visit to Thailand with my buddy Doug. It's uncanny but food delivery services in California charge 30% too, is why Dee doesn't subscribe to their services. She said she would have to increase her takeout prices to absorb the delivery costs and chose not to. You're going about it the right way. Most people don't mind a nominal delivery fee. Westerners are accustomed to this additional charge in their countries. I admire your vision for the business and your family's future security. Good fortune, health, fun and happiness. Above all stay safe!

    When it comes to a business approaching a VAT threshold, it is important to make sure that you don't nudge over it, but sprint straight past it. You need to take the sting out of, in your case, 7% being taken off your revenue. BUT do make sure to work the system the other way too. Get the best advice you can from your accountant. In the UK for example, if you now have to play the VAT game, it isn't all one sided as it means that the VAT on every thing you buy for the business, is offset against VAT from your takings, except in the UK instead of 7% it's 20% and the difference is a bit more stark.
