opening a small business in Thailand 🇹🇭 Yummy Korean Sandwich Shop
Ever wonder what it takes to open a small business in Thailand? Want to know where to get my new favorite Korean sandwich on the island of Koh Samui? Then this video is for you!
My friends just opened up Boklee Bites, Koh Samui's newest little restaurant in Bangrak Beach town, and it's only delicious....but there's one sandwich that is addictive. I'll talk to them and hear about the ups and downs of starting a new business here, and then we'll taste the food. I'd highly recommend you find them and try a Samgyeopsal Sandwich (the Korean Pork). It's so great.
And here is a google map link so you can find these sandwiches yourself: goo.gl/maps/PnuxxWjbAEQH2g9U6

@@curious1264 It's good for all tourists to try all kinds of food in Thailand. Don't worry about our Thai food.. now it goes far than you think.
I love it that Haylee speaks Korean when eating great food OR when Chris has been bad!
I'm always excited to see how you share
Nice looks good congrats to them!
I like this restaurant logo. it is sincerity in cooking.
Love the look of the store, very earthy with the bamboo, very chill. ❤️
Love from Singapore 🇸🇬 Appreciate this series about starting a small business. Would hope to see more details about their initial process. Cheers
Congratulations, Volker and Yeon-Su on opening your new place. Looks so nice and delicious looking food. Can't wait to try some. Great Video Chris and Hailey. You're an excellent sales force 👏
wow!!! everything is perfect there!!!! tasty food ! great space ! lovely boss ! good service !
Good luck for BOKLEE BITE 👍🏻🙏🏻🇹🇭🌯🌮🥙 and for Yeon-Su & Volker👌🏻
Good luck to them both.
Love the video Chris, would love to see more like this. I once had a coffee empire in American, would love to do the same in Thailand. But the rules and regulations can be daunting being a foreigner! Would like to see more information on how they delt with rules imposed on foreigners owning a business. Always enjoy your videos mate.

Ain’t nothing about this city, why all these freak so excited.
Great tips for businesses. It’s about thinking Thai style I’m thinking. Oh man I want that sandwich!
Another great video! That sandwich looked fantastic. You crack me up when you call Hayley “Shaggy”. You are so great together on camera.
I love a bulgogi sandwich with a soup dish or a short rib kalbi with japchae noodles dish or rice and kimchi. Good combo for a lunch or dinner combo. Love that ambiance in that restaurant. Gorgeous 😍
Good luck for your business. Welcome new citizens of Thailand.
Thank you so much for this important information.🙏 The location of their restaurant is wonderful , it is right by 7-11! (If the chairs are more comfortable it will be perfect.)
Wonderful to watch this video featuring a hidden gem small business and their startup process. Thank you!
Looks delicious! Great relaxed storefront
Das ist ein wunderschoenes kleines Restaurant,fehlte richtig hier! Die Besitzer sind unglaublich freundlich und zauberhaft, soooo bemueht um jeden Gast und das Essen ist koestlich.Wenn sie Lust auf ein bisschen deutschen Weihnachtsgeschmackhaben probieren sie den Stollen,der schmeckt richtig wie in Leibzig.Wuensche einen guten Appetit
Looks amazing. But what I reacted too first and then the german said he will change- are the seemingly uncomfortable seats outside. Great to watch!
Hope this restaurant open in Korea! It looks so delicious and we don't have this kind of style sandwich shop enough.
사무이 가면 한끼는 꼭 들려야할 곳입니다. 아메리카노 & 불고기버거~ 주인이 너무 좋으시고 저 개도 그대로네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ 한국인 주인 너무 반갑고 좋았습니다^^ 너무 착해서 신기했던 강아지도 그대로네요~
I ate Korean sandwiches Ham and Cheese and egg salad at Chippy’s in Bangwa Thailand Delicious plus they have Japanese SW’s with real Japanese Shokupan bread and Japanese mayo YUMMY You can order on grab and all other delivery services 😊
lol 13:52 Best Food reaction....EVER!!!! Enjoy!!!
Chris you forgot the most important part. No mention of having to have a Thai citizen own half the business? Or monthly payment to a local mafia type organization like in pattaya. I have seen many interviews on other channels that mention these things. I hope they found a trustworthy business partner.

I was also wondering about this.. is there a legit way to not have a 51% Thai ownership of a business, or do they have a Thai partner. How did they do it?
Best wishes to both of you on the auspicious occasion of a Korean s/w restaurant.❤
Darn! I left Samui yesterday, and I didn't know this place existed. Guess I'll have to come back :)
love to see got many international food restaurants around Thailand....wish your first step kicking in Thailand be happy as your wish...
If I go to Samui, I definitely take some sandwiches. They look yammy.
The Food looks Delicious. 🙏
I just really like the vibe of these videos. Really calming. I'm thinking of moving to thailand probably within a year or so and this gets me excited for the future :) I'll have to try one of these when I get there :D
you guys rock !!! haleee on the kambucha !!! HEHHEHEHEHHEHEHH
This is a great interview! Very informative. That food looks delicious!
I really like this video, thanks Chris👍👍
This looks SOOOOO good! I am currently prepping for a bodybuilding competition so I gotta add this sandwich (somewhere in Calgary) to my ‘eat’ list post comp! We gotta go here next time we are in Samui! Thanks Chris for focusing on foreigners opening up a small business in Thailand since it’s what we hope to do one day!
I know where I’m going to eat when I come to Ko Samui 🤩 looks delish 😋
That place looks awesome. Sandwich reminds me of the ones we ate when we first went to Samui. Delish!! Best of luck on the new endeavor to Volker and Yeon su.
No stretch to predict they'll do well > looks fantastic 🎯
Food so good he turned into Mark Weins with that "WOW"
gotta say I love these videos, not sure why they are so wholesome and entertaining. I didn't think I would go back to Thailand but after watching many of your videos I am now determined to come even with the price of flights as they are.
😂 I literally saw this shop when I stayed at the U Samui accross the street but was so overwhelming with all of the food choices around me…next time I’ll be sure to patronize it when I’m next in Samui ❤
They seem a nice couple and the food looks amazing.. Definitely going to try 👌👌
We are coming to Samui in July for a holiday and to look at property’s available, look forward to meeting you both 😊
Next time, try Xmas Stollen on the menu . So yummy 😋
It's simple...I see a "retired working for you video"...I click....I watch.... then back to step one, repeat process
I've never had a Korean sandwich before but I did cook beef an pork bulgogi today an ate it with rice. Looking forward to trying one of those sandwiches soon.
The shop is near 7-11, there are definitely a lot of people. 🇹🇭🇹🇭👍
It is definitely a challenge to open a business, in Thailand or anywhere! Property values (incl. rent) are inflated and costs for quality restaurant appliances are also high! It would be interesting to hear how much was invested into opening this business!
thanks for the info chris, will give it a try when we are back in the new year.
Looks delicious and they looks like a lovely hip couple. It's a little disappointing to see that the prices are the same as in Canada. $12 cad for the bowl. Thailand has changed
Getting hungry!Just left Bangkok (crying)!
Nice Job as always Chris! And, thanks for the heads up. We’re coming for lunch tomorrow.

Best videographer in Thailand travel & interests
wow looks like a blast from the past, nice video congratulations.
Same here in Northern Virginia. We’ll see a sign go up that something is coming and it’s months later before it actually opens. Doesn’t matter if it’s a remodel or a new building. Unfortunately, I doubt there’s anyone helping those small business owners get started though. Currently, waiting for a new vegetarian Vietnamese restaurant to open.
คริสคุณเป็นเพื่อนที่ดีมารีวิวร้านอาหารให้เพื่อนด้วยสุดยอดมาก
Great content buddy, really enjoy your channel
Clean and wow the egg ‘salad’ looked good.
Ok so that your home....Your home base. Must be nice, I will have to find vids about the street food on Samui 🙏🙏🙏🙏
กำลังนั่งดูอยู่ที่กรุงเทพ ณ เวลา 10.32 PM😭อยากกิน แซนวิชซัมยอบซัล น่ากินมากกกกกกกกกก 🤤🤤🤤
Very interesting video 👍 best of luck to the new endeavour 🙏 I wonder if someone who is not retired could move to Thailand and open up a business... it is also worth mentioning Thai protective laws on labour, see how they hire the splendid locals 👍🙏 thank you Khun Chris 👍

I am almost positive they have to have a Thai citizen that owns %51 of business. Lot of bad stories about guys investing money in bars to own a business then get kicked out.
Looks really good!!!
Great content.
Thanks Chris. I'll check it out before leaving 👍
Thanks for the Video !!!
Good luck in your new venture.
Great hook for a new Thai Shirt, "Follow the Ryhtem". Cant wait to get back and try a sam-mitch!
안녕하세요.😀 really nice to have korean sandwich place open in koh samui. I will definitely check out the place when i go to Samui.
So it is like a Korean banh mi. Looks yummy!
Wish to have a chance to visit on your shop and have some sandwiches and Thai tea. Enjoy and good luck
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!...축하합니다
Oh how yum! Defo putting this on my list :)

No Way!! I'm staying couple doors down from this place @TheNest!!! I'm going to try this this morning!
Ill swing by when i move to phuket i will hop over to samui and drop by, looks so yummy
I need to go there😮😮
Chippy’s …look them up on google in Bangkok U won’t be disappointed!
Well worth the drive Tables are a little different but worked great for keeping the shirt stain free Will definitely be returning
Wow......
Hello sir, I from Chiangmai good job 👍
Looks well nice to be fair.
คุณสุดยอดมากคริส
congratulations
This is big difference to live in Thailand as a tourist VS make money. The line between easy-going and unprofessional. Fighting!!! all
xmas stollen... hahahaha! liebe grüße, good luck und alles gute aus der heimat!
now I'm hungry...
The food looked unreal. I wonder what a start up like that costs.
I wish you success and well done. As for Thai contractors, they tend to be overwhelmed with work. and promise to get a job without taking responsibility for time But the work usually comes out okay. 😊🤗😉👍😅
Hey Chris! I'm the one thousandth viewer! What do I win?! 😊 This is a wonderful video and I certainly wish the owners much success. Perhaps, some day, I may even get to meet them and try the food in person. Hmmmmm.... I know! My prize for being number one thousand is two tickets to Thailand! One for me and one for my son. We could then visit with you and the people on the island! We can look into staying there permanently and opening a business of our own. Doesn't that sound like a fantastic plan Chris?! 🤗 Keep up the good work!
Too bad I did`nt say hey and asked what you`re up to when I saw you on the ferry over there. missed that place unfortunately
Where's the NEWS at???
I feel like thailand will never be the same before covid.....its seems like almost no tourist compare to toomuch tourist!!! i will not come this year!!! will wait but thanks for ur vid.....i mean your foodvid

Thailand already have 10 millions tourists visiting this month. Mostly are in Phuket area right now.
Simple question. if they are retired then why would one want to work? If it is their passion why not just keep making them for friends.... Or has this got something more to do with that old sneaky character called greed and that when most humans retire they simply don't know what to do.... And usually resort to the old habits.... Best of luck to this couple and great video...
Did I miss out on the issue of opening biz in Thailand especially whether you need a Thai as a partner and the percentage of the share the Thai must have in the biz?
Yummmmm 🇰🇷 😋
