All good questions. The reality is that there is too much going on to enforce. In general the DBD and the police focus on the most profitable cases that are worth multiple millions or much more. https://thethaiger.com/news/business/thailand-tightens-foreign-business-laws-to-curb-nominee-practices Foreign hotel chains work on the franchise model, with the local owner (inevitably a Thai citizen) paying a fee for branding, marketing, etc.

The UK company's VAT treatment is correct. You are receiving a service in the UK (shipping a container from one location in the UK to a different location in the UK). VAT is payable on this service. If you are exporting the container then VAT will stop being charged when the container passes the ship's rail.

You might want to look at a 1 year pre-paid sim card. Most companies sell them for something like 1,900-2,000 baht paid in advance for the year. It depends which sim you choose, but some will offer a set amount of data per month, while others (such as True) offer an unlimited data plan for the year (slightly more expensive). Some also offer free calls within the same network. Unlimited data is attractive - not because he needs unlimited, but because you won't get any surprises and also because there is no chance of him being out of data when he needs to contact you. In terms of making calls most people use Line app to call nowadays anyway, making the actual telephone a bit prehistoric. You can get these sim cards from Lazada or Shoppee.

No. A good translation company will: 1. Get the documents they need from you (copy of your passport, copy of your partner's ID card, the affirmation, etc. 2. Translate the affirmation document 3. Make an appointment for the legalisation at the MFA (or get an express appointment if time is short, at a cost) 4. Take the translation to the MFA and get the document legalised 5. Either contact you so that you can call into their office to collect everything, or post the documents back to you via EMS This is the easiest, because all you have to do is attend the translation office at the beginning, supply the documents and pay. Up to you if you attend again in person to collect the documents. Remember to take your passport and your partner's ID card with you when you attend the office. It will save all kinds of problems. Personally, I use Express Translation which are located at BTS Chit Lom. http://www.expresstranslationservice.co.th/cms.php?id_cms=6 https://maps.app.goo.gl/wVGBe3Uj6QLiC9d76 https://maps.app.goo.gl/NWXuG1vN45Ya2npo6
