Definitely far too unique of a case for general FB advice to be of any value to you. Seek some professional advice as suggested, and honestly if you can't afford that then i would seriously rethink your next steps

the Thai authorities are cracking down on Nominee companies, illegal working, overstaying etc....

The average price for a work permit is around THB 35,000 & 7%.

Often foreigners contact an agent or Thai lawyer when they have messed-up the process.

You, personally, cannot incorporate a Thai LLC.

Therefore, for people who want the job done properly, you shall need to hire a professional.
