Steve,
I live in Thailand now while posted at the Embassy. If you have questions, let me know.
As far as your idea: investing from overseas is easy on a small scale or with good systems and good people in place...use Property Management and/or have your own PM biz with someone trustworthy in charge. Go back for 6 months a year (maybe better in 3 month increments) to check on things and grow the business. It may even keep you from pushing too hard/too fast.
Living in Thailand is certainly good.
Stay in touch,
Steve
