Wholesale of goods of all kinds, where the minimum capital per store is below the level prescribed in the Act

Not a hard restriction — only applies while under-capitalised. A foreign-majority wholesaler is exempt from this List 3 item (no Foreign Business Licence needed) once minimum registered capital reaches the Act's threshold, typically THB 100 million per store. Verify current ministerial-regulation figures.
