Treaty Of Amity

[sbaker8688]

1 - Do you have to form the company as an American company (incorporated in America)? And this company then can obtain the right to do business in Thailand according to the treaty? Or do you form the company as a Thai company? I suppose the question is, does the treaty give you, an American, the right to own 100% of a Thai company, or does it give the right of your American company (which you may own 100%) to do business in Thailand? Which is it?

2 - Can you own 100% of a piece of real estate through your company? Or are there the typical restrictions on foreigners owning land?

Thanks.
