Answer summary
The ability to become a permanent resident (PR) in Thailand while married to a Thai citizen depends on multiple factors, including the duration of residence and compliance with certain regulations. While the questioner has businesses, a bank account, and property with a Thai spouse, these factors alone do not guarantee PR. Generally, one must hold a visa for at least three years, pay taxes (around THB 80,000 monthly), and have a history of continuous residency. There are further requirements, such as passing a Thai language test. The process is competitive, with limited spots available annually. Consulting with an immigration lawyer is recommended for thorough guidance.

10 years continuous residency and ability to pass a Thai language/ Citizenship test in written Thai. At least that used to be the rule.

Marriage, bank accounts and property have nothing to do with permanent residency. More to do with working in Thailand, paying taxes and continuance over a period of time

You may be able to apply.. You typically need to be on visas for at least 3 years and paid taxes on about THB 80k a month etc
Dr-Abdur ********
@Paul **********
for safe side, salary should be 100k above and pay taxes on monthly basis.But in this situation, he is married to a Thai so salary should be 40k above.
He can apply directly for citizenship not PR pathway because he has links to 🇹🇭.

You need continuous visas back to back firstly.
Graham ******
Have you paid Thai taxes and social security for at least 3 years? That is the first hurdle.
