A 50-year-old South Korean citizen who invested in a guesthouse in Chiang Mai has been deported from Thailand and placed on the immigration blacklist. He was engaged in illegal activities such as tour guiding and driving, which are prohibited for foreigners. In addition, renting out rooms for less than 30 days requires a hotel business license, and conducting business using a Thai name is considered "proxy ownership," which is prohibited by the Foreign Business Act. 2026-11-01
