    Don't buy property, don't start a business, don't stay in the country for more than 6 months to avoid the tax, don't bring any more money than you need into the country, don't get married and don't trust anyone. Follow all these rules and you will be fine. Ignore them at your own peril.

    I honestly think your title an thumbnail is misleading, because it makes me think this is just one of the normal rambling videos where you just bla bla your way through the video in front of a beautiful grafity background.
    But this interview actually seems very thorough and educational.

      I, having lived here for 13 years don't know why people want to open business in Thailand, I really just don't see why you would bother, you are not going to, in the most likely of cases make any real money, if you were financially well off you would just take your money and live an awesome life in Thailand

    I know American business owners here that still went the Thai partnership route. The 100% rule sounds great but i wonder how hard it is in reality that some still avoid it. Just because it exists doesn't mean that it's also practical.

    If I am not mistaken you can get 100% ownership via BOI promotion.
    I think it's really difficult to give advice on tax and visa matters. It always ends up depending too much on each individual personal situation.

    Huh. I'm 2 minutes in and I think he has already said something which is incorrect. He said a foreigner cannot be the largest shareholder in a Thai company. I believe this is incorrect. It's true that a foreigner cannot own more than 49%, but he can still be the largest shareholder. Can someone correct me if I'm wrong?
