Doing business in Thailand 2022

Thailand, the heart of trade and investment in Southeast Asia

Thailand’s economic success was contributed by its robust tourism, agricultural, export and electronics industries. Although these accomplishments have propelled a new stage of economic development, it also brought a new set of challenges, to escape the middle-income trap.  

In the past few years, the government and public sector have been working hard to build on the country’s strategic position as a regional business hub in the heart of Southeast Asia. This makes it an ideal location for entrepreneurs seeking access to Thailand’s domestic market of 70 million people while also leveraging its trade infrastructure to reach the fast-growing CLMV (Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Vietnam) markets and economic giants such as China and India.

In this Guide, we help those who are interested in doing business in Thailand by providing an overview of the country’s business landscape, the EEC and important business taxation. The coverage of the subjects is not exhaustive but is intended to deal with some of the more important and/or broad questions that may arise.
