Hello, I'm foreigner and am exploring the possibilities of setting an airbnb business in Thailand.
Since the concerning law is somewhat complicated with many exception clauses and is still changing, and unfortunately, lawyers that I talked were not helpful(I don't know why but they don't get the point or pretend to), I want to ask to people who actually have dealt with this issues.
1) As far as I know for less than 30 days of accommodation, the hotel license is needed, but there is an exception clause saying if the property contains "a number of not exceeding 8 rooms on all floors in total and with a capacity of not more than 30 guests", it is not considered as a hotel, that being so, the hotel license is not needed. However, still some kind of certificate or license is needed(I don't know which one is exactly). Can someone tell me if what I said is true?
2) So even without the hotel license needed, if there is still a certificate or license to comply with, I think I should register with the authorities. My main question is if setting up an LLC would be necessary or if I can start a business as an individual capacity.
Or can someone recommend a place/website/firm where I get a decent legal advice? As said earlier, it's kinda exhausting to find one. Thank you in advance.
