Hey Frank, you pretend to be well real but you’re not. The about us page says you can pretty much ask any questions about immigration, visas, license or even police matters. Read up and stop banging Bar gi&ls , it will help.

You would need to contact a Thai business lawyer

You would need to employ Thai people & put up a lot of capital with a proven business history
