TLDR : Answer Summary

Yes, it is possible to buy a business in Chiang Mai and you do not necessarily need a working visa if you plan to only own it without actively working in the business. However, it's important to consult with a legal expert or immigration advisor to understand the specific regulations and requirements regarding business ownership and visas in Thailand.
