I.65 baht for frogs might be a good price depending on how big they are. They usually start at 1 baht, and I have paid 4 baht for bigger young ones.
They will breed when the rains come if you have the right conditions and you have breeding pairs. They have to be old enough. The males have a dark circles on the sides of their throat. The females do not. I tried raising some breeders from the market once but they were so stressed from the market, that they died a few days later
Once they reproduce you will have to separate the tadpoles from the adults and then as the froglets develop you need to keep the big ones separate from the smaller ones. Frogs are very cannibalistic and they can eat frogs of nearly their same size. Keep the water reasonable clean and not too deep so they can touch the bottom or give them things to hang on to or climb on.
There are other more experienced frog wranglers on this forum, I haven't done it for a few years now.

Thanks for your reply. How old do they need to be, in order to breed? We set up the tanks as you mentioned and put in 100 frogs per tank, in 2 tanks to see what happens, and how it all works out.

I know I will get some stick for this but I have a pond I tip a wheel barrow of chicken poo in it when I can remember. It pays for most of my beer. I am Not a fish farmer, but my pond pays its way. I have never brought a bag of food and never had an problems. Catfish eat anything you give. Just a note from the other end of the scale... LOL
We are competing with fish farmers who do exactly what you describe. We feed our fish commercial pellets which contain 32% protein. We use a recirculating system, our clients can tell the difference in the quality of the meat between these feeding styles, and prefer to buy our fish.
