TLDR : Answer Summary

The original post seeks contact with English-speaking foreigners in Khon Kaen for information, while comments discuss whether a foreigner can own 100% of a business in Thailand or is limited to 49% ownership, indicating some confusion about ownership regulations.

I was told by an American they can own 100 percent of a business in thailand but I can only own 49 percent with my family being the major owners was just curious. Is that true or this person blowing up my butt sorry trying to be nice about it lol
