Not sure I understand this, but hiring workers is the same anywhere and will require your presence here.
Your post prompts more questions than answers. Do you speak Thai? What kind of workers are you looking for? In Buriram, ordinary labor will not speak English. Do you know all of the difficulties and paper work and expenses involved in setting up a business here and that it is illegal for foreigners to work w/o work permit?

You need to be EXTREMELY careful when dealing with ANY form of work/business in Thailand. For example, if you outright own a bar and are caught operating the cash register, they will send you to jail unless you pay a heavy fine. I know of NO foreign business owner who has had good luck maintaining a steady staff. That doesn't mean there aren't some out there, I've just heard horror story after horror story. The culture shock of trying to apply reason and logic to the general public can be staggering. My suggestion is, if you are absolutely hell bent on opening a business in Thailand, contact someone who is running a similar business and ask them about the pitfalls. It is possible to eke out a living here, but the economy is SO depressed right now I believe the chances of success are very slim to none. And a foreigner operating in the food industry? THAT'S a recipe for disaster (pun intended).
