In this video, Taka talks about the process of properly setting up a Thai company, how to find great employees, some of the differences between leading a team here compared to the US, some of the things he likes about Thailand (and doesn't like) and finally... what his life looks like as a business owner in Bangkok.

Would you start a Business in Bangkok?
Is the TH-camr RW4U your dad? I live in Jomtien
@@bijanbayne3259 in case Adam is busy I can let you know from being a subscriber and fan of Chris (RW4U), that's Adam's uncle.
It seems that a big part of it is having the mentality of what can I give to Thailand instead of what can I take from it. That attitude will go a very long way. Great video love your channel keep it up
Hello sir. Thank you for your comment. It resonates with me, as in this world we either build or destroy. Which one will you embody? Great comment
Thanks so much Adam! For all those interested in following Taka’s business journey and work, we just started a TH-cam channel 🙏
This is an incredible interview Adam, quickly becoming one of my favourite channels on TH-cam for learning more about different expat experiences in Thailand. Keep up the good work!
Great interview....this guy seems to be living well in Thailand but at the same time is being frugal with his money. Its nice to see a business owner who spends his money wisely.
Good job Adam, I always like these type of videos showing expat entrepreneurs thriving in Thailand!
Thumbs up 👍 Adam & Taka
Great channel, Adam. I'm a fan!
Really well thought out Adam. Enjoyed meeting such a focused individual and learning about his colorful life there in Bangkok. Continued success 🤩
Great video Adam, thanks for the interview. Really enjoyed it!
Love the interview. Many great questions.
Love the videos...keep up the good work!
Enjoyed watching this. You are on to something great Adam. Keep it going.
The weathers good? 😂. Lived in Bangkok almost two years . The only thing I missed was cooler weather. Loved everything else about it!
Great job Adam. I love this interview and the one with expats from New York. Keep it up!
This channel is excellent.
Nice interview, really helpful advice all round. Hoping to arrive in Bangkok in Oct/Nov long term, in the media space! Thailand has my heart
Hi Adam! This was a very informative video. I’d like to hear your Thai in a future video! 😊
Mahalo Adam and Taka for the video and in-depth look into owning and operating a business in Thailand as an expat American. I know that when my wife and I retire to Thailand in a few years I'll probably be looking into doing the same thing helping out in any way and giving back to the communities from my extensive background in the entertainment/ecommerce world. Again, mahalo and take care Adam!!
Good content 🙏🏽
Interesting conversation
น้องแอดัมนะครับ A pleasure to call you my friend.
Good interview. Interesting subject lots of good advice. Adam wtf you are sounding more and more like Chris intonation and all. 555 My son lives in BKK hes fairly frugal his spend rate is - 45k thb/month. The reason the road system in BKK is as it is, BKK was originally a river canal system. Western influence changed BKK to a surface road transportation system.
nice
Since you have to go along with the Thai rule of Thai citizens partners owning 51% of your company, how do you prevent them from stealing your company and company ideas as well as kicking you out of your company voting you out? Americans do it to Americans every day in America
Is this canadian accent because when I close my eyes it literally sounds like Chris is speaking
not much saving, is it worth to move out socali?
As an American you can own 100% of the company under the treaty of Amity
I've heard as an American citizen there's a way to start an amity company with 100% ownership. Do you know if this is accurate?
Yes can own 100% as American. Looks like he missed a beat
You talk exactly like that Retired Working For You guy. Are you his son or relative or are you just copying his style? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was thinking the exact same thing, lol. Accurate. I love the retired worker
Nephew😂😂😂😂identical like a twin. I don't think he can help it or has a choice 😂❤
Chris is Adam's uncle, and he works closely with him and is in allot of Chris's videos to.
@adamparker so nice
