    • BenNallay commented : our funeral, so think of your future. Use some of your cash for you and buy a quad-copter. A good one with GPS and some kind of stability mechanism so you can learn to hover it in one place when you learn to fly it. Put a camera on it if it hasn't got one. You should be able to look around online and order a decent quadcopter for around 30-40,000 baht based on prices I've seen over the past few months. While you're learning to FLY (wow!), invest in another nice reasonable sort of camera, perhaps a Canon like HM the King likes to take with Him as he attends to his duties, but you can pick up something which will do the job for under 5,000 baht. You know all about real estate because you have experience. You have around half of that 100,000 baht left, and you're going into business for yourself, taking photos of properties for real estate agencies. You have a quadcopter (think future) which you are an expert at flying, and it can take excellent 1st class pictures of outdoors areas with you at the joysticks, and you can walk in and take good shots of interiors with your trusty Canon, and you still have fifty grand left over to buy an old mazda 1300 ute (pickup) to get from job to job. (Scrub that: a little motorbike is much quicker around town and can carry a drone or three.) You set your prices* but you ought to be able to properly photograph (with your quad-copter which you can fly) 20-30 properties a week, or let's go with 100 per month. You'll soon be needing staff to cope with the demand too. Next you'll need an office somewhere in Dusit perhaps? Photograph the animals in the zoo for practice. Are you following me here? You don't need a job, my man. What you need is a drone. I'll hire you if I win the lottery, scouts' honour. Good luck. *PS: On setting prices, you've got to 1. pay yourself a wage to live on, be frugal. 2. cover costs plus growth. If you have competition, you don't have much say in prices. You have to meet or undercut the competition. If you're on the carte' blanc' scale, work out what you really, really need when you're working so hard you have no time for recreation, (my guess as a tobacco friend is somewhere around 20-25,000/mth for farang prices, minimum), and then double it to cover costs of business plus around 10% for ... well ... for sundries. That covers expenses you don't expect such as tea money, and extra profit which you can otherwise grow the business as demand requires you to hire and train staff. Then there's insurance and other diseconomies of scale. For example, if you [i:35f3mfkp]need[/i:35f3mfkp] minimum 25,000/mth which is very low, you'll need to make 55,000/mth to cover your own drawings plus expected expenses plus unexpected expenses. Round up to 60,000 for a month, then divide that by 100 jobs brings your average job price to 600 baht for standard property photos. Much of that is getting to the site, and then two dozen photos so the agent can choose the ones they like the best, m-mmm, that's real cutting-it-fine sort of pricing. Now add some cushion to make sure your customers can trust that you'll be there tomorrow. You should have no trouble with a base price of around 800 baht for two dozen professional photographs of one property. That's cost-based pricing. There's 80,000/mth for a one man band with camera, drone, motorbike and no office, minimal outgoings - you'll need a computer to touch up the images too - that's a fair price by my calculations without any research at all. Some genres of establishment will require extra photos and extra attention, at extra cost, but if you set a base standard at around 800 per job, you could still survive. Once the drone fad catches on, someone will be doing it for 400 before you can say "Steal my sunshine" but it's quality that they want, and it's quality that you can give them, so Suit Yourself, and look like you mean business. Thais dig suits. Always wear a plain white t-shirt underneath your business shirt in the warm season so nobody will see you perspire.
