I think you might need to check your year end has been audited and filed correctly.
Audit fees can be substantial, and all it would take would be a quick photocopy and a fake signature. Just saying.

As you are applying for citizenship, I strongly suggest you get all of the application documents pre-checked and accepted by immigration before you finalise any move.

Genuine question, but is there anything for bees to eat in Bangkok? I don't see many flowers growing in Bangkok.
If all else fails Villa sells honey, although I am sure there will be other shops selling similar products.

A few things to point out:
Firstly, the law quoted in post 4 is Section 6, Chapter 1 of the Land Code Act B.E. 2497 (as amended). Section 6 is about the State taking back land from individuals, not individuals claiming land from each other. Section 6, Chapter 1 is not relevant here.
Secondly, you have to understand that this process will take some time, and it is not guaranteed on the side of the current possessor.
Thirdly, while your wife has the undisputed ownership of the land, I would suggest she encumbers it.
She could register a life usufruct to you or a relative she trusts. The usufruct can be cancelled by the Court, but it will take quite a lot of time and money from the possessor.
Another option would be to register a mortgage on the land. The Court might not be keen to revoke the security of a third party lender and put the lender at a severe disadvantage.
Even more dastardly would be to gift the land to a young child - for example, you wife's grandchild. It is very difficult to take land from a minor. Only a Court can authorise it, after considering the best interests of the child.
There are a few items for you to think about.

If the family have been farming the land for more than 10 years then they have a claim to the land. Section 1382 of the Civil and Commercial Code states:
Section 1382. Open Ownership of Property
Where a person has, for an uninterrupted period of ten years in case of an immovable, or five years in case of a movable, peacefully and openly possessed a property belonging to another, with the intention to be its owner, he acquires the ownership of it.
This is why it is extremely important to get a signed lease from any tenant farmers, even if the rent charged is nominal. The lease proves that a commercial contract was in place, so a Section 1382 claim cannot be made.
Your wife needs to go and discuss this with the Land Office and listen to their advice.

So firstly, you would do better to renew your licenses just after they expire. Your license is granted for the fixed period plus any remaining days until your next birthday. This means if you renew 1 day after your license expires you will get an additional 364 days. 2 days late and you get 363 days, etc. Don't leave it too long though as there is a definite number of days after which it will expire for good.
If you have a car and also a bike license you will need:
Your passport (and 2 copies)
Your work permit (and 2 copies)
A medical certificate (I was asked for this when I renewed) and 1 copy
Your 2 expired licenses
That's all I seem to recall being asked for. You will need to complete 2 application forms - if you don't speak or write Thai it's always easier to take someone along who does. If you have a 1 year extension of stay you should be able to get a 5 year license this time, which is a convenient thing to have.
You know the drill though - if you have any other original bits of paper they might ask for then take them along as well. There is a photocopy service in the building where you can always get something photocopied.

Sometimes though Thai's who want to buy and sell condos quickly to anybody...
You mean if they want to sell to a non-Thai person. A Thai person would not buy a condo owned by a company.
The only exception would be property trading/development, but believe me, you have to be pretty special to make a living doing that because the majority of property takes a considerable time to sell.

It's called the Office of the Consumer Protection Board. You will find the office in the basement level of the Ratthaprasasanabhakti Building (Building B) of the Government Complex at Lak Si (same level as 7-Eleven, the banks and shops). The Office is close to Chester's and directly opposite the banks.
This is the same building that Immigration is based in. This link should get you there:
The street address is:
120 Thanon Chaengwattana, Thung Song Hong, Lak Si, Krung Thep Maha Nakhon, 10210.

As has been stated, the fact that a company owns the condo is irrelevant. Your wife is just buying an asset of the company.
The current owner probably wants to sell the company structure along with the condo, because otherwise they will be left with an empty company they still have to submit accounts on or they have to pay to close.
The thing is a Thai citizen would almost never buy a company that owns a property in this manner. Why would a Thai citizen pay an accountant every month to file accounts when they have the absolute right to own the property in their own name, hassle free?
Politely explain you will buy the condo, but you are not interested in the company. If the seller won't agree then walk away. There are condos for sale literally everywhere, and both you and the seller know it.

Thailand does not recognise defacto, or common law marriage. Not after any amount of time.
You are either legally married with a marriage certificate or you are not married at all.

Question about import/export of food product
in Jobs, Economy, Banking, Business, Investments
Just to add... An import license allows you to import and store food in approved premises.
To sell the food you need separate FDA approval for each product, and each product must comply with labelling regulations.
Really, you need to apply for your product and packaging approvals before you worry about warehousing, storage and import licenses.
