Hey guys so I recently arrived here and I am currently on the basic 60 day visa. My question is, I  hope to get a visa to be able  to do a few halfday workshops for Wim Hof method, maybe 2 or 3 a month. In the future, I would like to extend this to doing weekend retreats,  maybe once a month, I I would be able to employ 4 staff for those. 

Would anyone know if there is a visa I could apply for to do this? Tia

Answer summary

The user is currently on a 60-day visa and wishes to conduct half-day workshops and weekend retreats related to the Wim Hof method. To do so, they need information on the appropriate visa and work permit options. Responses highlight that to apply for a Non-B visa, the user must start a company, employ at least four Thai staff, and have a minimum of 2 million baht in capital in a Thai bank account. There are no temporary visas available for such activities unless done in conjunction with an existing business.

You’ll also need 2 million capital in a Thai bank to get your visa

You start a company and employ 4 full time thai employees then you apply for a Non-B visa and a work permit assuming what ever it is your doing is not a restricted occupation

Yes you have to open business and then do work permit. My friends used to have Phuket wellness center to do feldenkrais, pilates and yoga. Not aware of any temporary visa unless you do it in conjunction with an existing company or hotel
