Guess I’m thinking of the 2018 rules, and how the new Arms Length provisions might affect a closely held company. Looking further though, you’re right, technically no CFC laws at this point
OTOH, Thailand has a pretty good determination of it you're tax resident, looking at purely the number of days resident, so if you're there less than 183(?) days, you might well have some options. However, everyone is still scrambling to work out what the Sep 2023 tax decrees mean, including the Thai Revenue department ;-)
If it's a tech company, and if a local accountant thinks you'll be hit by those, do you qualify to start a Thailand BOI company? There are significant local tax breaks offered by that.
