I have a friend who's driving her dad's (new) car and is not named on the policy. She thinks it's fine because she has a licence. Over in the UK it doesn't normally work like that, but maybe it does in Thailand. Can anyone confirm?

I was thinking of forming a Thai company to do some consultancy work and give me a long term visa. I know there's a requirement for the company to have at least 4 Thai employees for every work permit. The consultancy work does not require any employees, but the company could have a side business that had 4. Does anyone see a problem with that, visa / WP wise? Seems ok to me as the requirement applies to the company as a whole. I think the minimum wage in Thailand is about THB 125k pa, but I expect the cost to the employer is more than that. Is there a figure for the total, including whatever employer contributions or charges are payable? No idea what the side business would be by the way. Employ three house cleaners and a person to drum up business and manage the others, maybe. It wouldn't need to make any money but should cover the staff costs without sucking up my time. Interested in any suggestions.
