Only start a business in Thailand with the money you don’t need anymore.
I would recommend start by bring umbrellas and galoshes for October in Chiang Mai. Prepare for floods.

Don’t decide things after 15days stay. If you have unlimited money then do it. But if you want to SME business owner then try to stay here more time and mix with people, make connections and learn the language. Also I don’t think asking here will do much help as it is visa help and to do business you must take help from agency.
I am not discouraging you. Just asking you to have more understanding of the situation. Do market research. If you are unmarried I will advise take your time and see if you can find good person for you. This is not your country and you don’t speak this country language. There will be people in every step to take advantage of that. Thai people are generally honest but the term is generally. There is lots of people here who is waiting to take your money not so honest way. I don’t think you will get legal help that much if that happened.
I write an essay here. Short version is try to live here for sometime and then decide. Otherwise people will ask you to sell umbrella.
