The problem there is no consistency across Embassies and consulates in many areas of the DTV. Landlords setting up a Ltd Company in the UK to manage the properties has been approved fro the DTV by the London Thai Embassy. It is not an expensive option and probably cheaper than Soft Power.
You are missing the point. I think we may have a language issue here so no problem. Foreigners do not get a WP for a restricted job. If you have a WP can deal with anyone.
True the law has not kept up with remote working etc. A little pedantic but there is no such thing as a ""Work Visa" there are visas that allow you to apply and obtain a "Work Permit" though.
What are you talking about cannot work for Thai people. It may be a language barrier here. Have you ever worked in Thailand and had a WP here. There are no restrictions who I worked with and who I employed. I think your understanding of Thai immigration and employment law might not be correct
