Looking for some business ideas

    With the economic downturn starting to hurt my current business interests, I've decided to do something about it. I've saved some cash and I'm looking to start a second business. I live in Thailand which limits my options to pretty much dealing with foreigners, luckily many people choose Thailand for their holidays or even living here.

    Main industries that involve foreigners here include:

    • Foreign Language Teaching
    • Tourism
    • Import/Exports
    • Real Estate
    • Bars and restaurants

    I was thinking about starting a company which organizes Foreign Language fun camps for kids and adults or a teaching recruitment agency (Unfortunately I may be stepping on my brother-in-laws toes as he does this).

    I have no experience in Tourism/Real Estate/Bars and restaurants and I would probably be throwing money away.

    I've thought about Import/Export but most of the items here can be found cheaper in China, maybe specialized local handicrafts that would be of interest overseas may work.

    Any ideas on businesses that target foreigners that would work? I don't mind working 20 hours a day to get it going.
