What permits and registration does my Thai girlfriend need for starting a beach boot camp in Thailand?
Hello all, I’m asking for some info for my girlfriend who is Thai. She’s a tennis coach already working for a coaching academy but she’s into training also, she wishes to start a ‘beach boot camp’; functional strength and conditioning training in a group environment on the beach.
This would ofcourse be an independent endeavour and she wouldn’t have the comforts of being employed by a company, we’re wondering what needs to be done with regards to declaring the income made and also potential permits required to deliver these sessions on the beach.
I understand this is quite a nuanced question but any help would be appreciated🙏

She would need to check with the local authorities about beach use / public spaces & registering a biz.
I doubt that there's enough interest groups in the farang circles to providea good income, but there are other ways, offer her services at hotels or resorts that have courts, ask at the local schools & sports associations... Google tennis thailand & contact all that have anything to offer re tennis... also speak to gyms & mui thai schools...
