From my understanding no. If you are not monetized in Thailand or thai youtube account. Technically you are not making money in Thailand. Say you have an American youtube account but post travel videos. You are Technically monetized as an American youtuber. If that was the case. There would not be any Thailand content creators or youtube videos.
you will hear a lot of the "farang rules" my favourite is in an vehicle accident if your a farang your immediately at fault. That is very beyond the truth
they must have been set up very very sketchily. I don't agree with the companies buying property thing but I know it's just a part of life. And no my lawyer wouldn't just give me random info. He's not benefitting me working on my land or not.
Haha. I posted a similar question on a different group. There's no clear answer. I do find it incredibly hard to believe that thai immigration will fine you or deport you for watering your garden or something haha. The way it was explained to me was. If it's your property and not a business that is open or currently "making money" it's fine. I'm purchasing a bunch of land with my wife and building soon. I have a meeting with my lawyer soon to get a real answer.
