You can register your own Thai Limited Company, get a work permit and a 1 year visa without much hassle.

This is the only way to stay legal and not risking being jailed, fined and deported from Thailand with a red stamp in your passport!

Would'nt this involve the OP spending millions of baht and having to employ a certain number of Thai nationals?

I hardly think his internet business is that lucrative that he could afford to follow the route you suggested and still turn a profit.

You don't need to be a lawyer to register a Thai Limited Company. Anyone with the knowledge can do that.

Goverment fees is around 15,000 THB

You will need a Thai national major shareholder, who holds 51% of the shares. Could easily be your Thai girlfriend or wife.

1 year Work permit fee is 3,100 THB

No need to employ any staff, but then you will get a 1 year multiple entry non immigrant B visa, and you will need to do a visa run every 90 days.

If you want a 1 year visa with no need to leave the country every 90 days, then you need to employ 4 Thai nationals.

I managed to do this all by myself with the assistance of my Thai wife.... saved me a lot of money to a lawyer.

We managed do arrange everything within 2 weeks time.

So yes, it is quite easy....and not too expensive.

What about the 2 million baht capital requirements?

That's REGISTERED capital, you don't actually have to have it in the bank. Talk to a lawyer.
