Dear Google, what do you know about the Spa business.

As a man, I know that I am not knowledgeable about spas. But as a entrepreneur and business man, I know I can find out what I need to know, and make it work - with a little help from Google.

I am reading "Enjoying your day at the Spa" on about.com. Some points:

Look for:

* Friendly, nurturing staff, from the person at the front desk to the massage therapists, estheticians, nail technicians, and make-up artists. All therapists should be licensed.

* A quiet, relaxing, well-designed environment. It will usually have soothing music, low lighting, and pleasant aromas.

* Equipment such as hydrotherapy tubs, whirlpool tubs, steam rooms, sauna, steam cabinets, Vichy shower, etc.

I think one thing to do is communicate with photos - it really breaks the communication gap that usually happens in discussing ideas. Buy culling the web for photos, I've got a little web album going where we can discuss and comment on different spa styles and decorations. Thanks Picassa.

More on the location

Well the first payment check has been made and it's time to focus in on what is going to be needed in the design.

The space is just off the road, but only slightly visible by passers by. It will, however, be visible to the occupants of the 1,092 unit condo complex when walking or driving by. We are expecting a large draw from the residents where the minimum rent is 12,000 bath/month for a 35 sq/m condo.

Today we signed the contract

After a weekend of though and discussion, we finally signed the contract with the Franchiser. We have officially decided to get into the Spa business! I must admit, it all happened a bit fast for my liking, but what better way to get things done... then to just go for it.

We signed the contract, but unfortunately, we forgot to bring the checkbook along and when the time came to pay our first installment payment of 640,000 Baht, we were not able to. This I don't mind so much, because it's always better to make them wait for payment. The longer they wait the more you retain control.

I will describe the Spa, myself, my girlfriend and partner more in the coming weeks and months. But tonight I am exhausted and have an early flight tomorrow.

Anyway, we did it and we are officially on our way.
