ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello! I just wanted to check if there are any options in the application to indicate both freelance work (employed by a company outside Bangkok) and being a business owner in my home country.♥️

TLDR : Answer Summary
The discussion centers on the possibility of including both freelance work with a foreign company and business ownership in the applicant's home country in the visa application for Thailand. It is suggested to prepare a clear and well-indexed application, present a portfolio, and include a cover letter to clarify both roles.

Presuming you meant outside Thailand, yes you can show both.

Prepare a well indexed application which is easily understandable. Showcase your portfolio at both levels. Also, explain with a cover letter.
