it’s not the same, just book your hotel and apply for CoE and you will see it as An option. Or if you’re worried apply for tourist visa, I got one in 7 days including mail time.

You don’t need a visa. Visa exempt is still working for Americans. COE took 2 days for me 2 months ago. Definitely do the Phuket sandbox unless you prefer prison. I don’t see why you couldn’t fly within a week. Just book sandbox hotel then apply for COE online.

Find a part time Thai language education program for them. Then teach the rest at home. Or elite visa. Or start a Thai company that employs them but that’s the most costly.

Did this recently. This is the location. The kids need to come with you. Arrive around 10am for shortest lines. 2000 baht per person for 30 or 60 day extension. They only gave us 30, right away.

it sounds like this person‘s customers are all international and the work is remote, so why bother with the hassle and ongoing cost of setting up a Thai corporation?

Don’t do it. Elite visa almost always is cheaper in the end. And low hassle.
