The message is not clear to me. Are you looking to buy shares of public company that could benefit by DTV soft power?

If you ask about Thai company, you start looking and asking the local Ministry of Labor and local Immigration Office.
IF you have shares of a company outisde Thailand, ask about the legality of the shares in that country.

Perfectly fine to own shares and even take dividends. What you can’t do is work for the company, any sort of management or even sign documents without a work permit.
