You can try, but it won’t be worth the wait when they turn you away. It’s only online

I have a suspicion that the army of small time traveler blogs/vlogs and influencers have had a combined effect. I don’t have data but I feel the difference in places like Chiang Mai and Vietnam over the last few years. Certainly the sailing blogs that started a few years back had a massive influence on the sailing world (which is my little space)

that literally the definition of influencer - they influence supply and demand

they will ask for your arrival stamp. Ever a good idea to lie

That would be effective at getting you rejected I suspect…

The intention is for real remote employees to work from Thailand on business that is not Thai related.

Second, if you haven’t done the market research, why would the goal be to set up a regional office in bkk?

I think they’d shoot this full of holes tbh

it’s the Dutch way… 😂. We love rules when we can use them on others, but nothing brightens a dutchy’s day more than when we can break/bend them to cheat and get ahead of others. Have you ever seen Dutch queue in a store? Non stop trickery!

Although unlikely, I wouldn’t rule it completely out based on a story from a friend of mine. He was opening a restaurant as a chef for a big shot in Bangkok and he took some food (ingredients) from the restaurant home to his apartment. A woman working in the restaurant had it out for him, because she wanted to have a higher position in the business and reported him to the police. She was Thai and had connections, and he was arrested, detained for 60 days, and the deported with a 99 yr ban. All because he ‘stole’ some food from a restaurant he worked at…
