    6 tonnes = 6,000 kgs (best price 135 baht/ kg); so say 70 baht/kg average => 420,000 baht / US$35 => $12,000 per annum.
    There are costs like labour, chemicals and depreciation on equipment.
    12 rai x 1 Million baht => 12 Million baht.
    420,000 baht return on 12 Million capital outlay => 3.5% return on investment
    Not a business proposition and probably the reason he would be happy to sell.

    A lot of questions arise here. How can you own the property as a foreigner? And doing a Thai nominee company is not legal, so out of the question. If you buy a pool villa, you would own the structure and lease the land. Also, agricultural jobs are in the list of prohibited jobs for foreigners. So unless you have a Thai wife how would you do it? Could a American Company certified under the Thai amity treaty own it?

      Great questions , The Thai amity treaty is very flexible but I'm no Thai lawyer and unable to give a solid answer . If this is something you are wanting to explore I definitely recommend speaking with a qualified lawyer .🙏

      For that 12 Rai .only 1 /3 of his trees produced this year .out of those durian trees he yielded about 6 ton and sold it for 145B per kilo.on the same farm they produced 6 ton of mongosten that they sold for as much as 135 b per kilo .The production can be more if taken care of .

      @@TMDurianfarmerI really appreciate this content but 500-600k gross per year is a lot different to 6t of mangosteen and 6t of durian (rising higher next harvest) at let’s say circa average 100-140b per kilo, What am I missing?
      What would the likely net figure be after all expenses from a project like this, maybe 300k b?

      @@b4bmm what I can say about this farm is the upside potential is there A I guy with the now how can turn this farm around and double that. More than 2/3 of the trees did not produce last year due to the age of them this year most will produce. Like mike said in the vid he wants to wait until after this season then he would have a solid figure for quantity. If you're interested you can contact him directly ,Mike's email is in the discription

      It really depends on the person's individual situation .like mike him and his wife have been married for 25 years .I can see the dangers of a guy picking a girl up from a bar falling in love and getting married after the bar fines ends and puts assets in this Young girl's name ,that would be stupid . I've also seen many successful relationships with no issues
