Did you know that Thailand is actually one of the most successful countries in Asia based on the GDP growth of the past few years?  Any country whose GDP grows shows signs of a healthy, successful and sustainable economy and it also shows that business is open to all and that they encourage foreign trading and foreign companies but those who are looking to register a company in Thailand always need to be aware that they first of all need to have all required funding needed to prove that the company can be ran for a desired period of time and that the company has also been registered by the Department of Business Development.

In the previous article (‘Mindfields’) I spoke about the importance of following the protocol and procedures of company registration in Thailand and I gave an example of how, not following it, can have severe consequences or implications.  In the case of me it was tax avoidance.  Under the laws that govern the company registration process in Thailand every business that is approved for operation has to meet a certain list of requirements and criteria.  Essentially this begs the question that can these rules be bent or even broken considering corruption is quite rife in Thailand?  Based on my experience the answer is that the rules can definitely be bent and even broken.  After all, how could the company I was working for get away with tax evasion for so long and how come they did not have (more...)

Many companies decide to have offices in the Asiatic region and many companies choose Thailand as the place to do it but what motivates them to do this?  Many companies now are seeing Singapore and the like as a more attractive venue for an office due to the red tape of having a business in Thailand and also the obvious reasons such as the high amount of corruption.  There are also tales of staff being employed who are not qualified or companies taking advantage of the corruption to ensure their own survival which would obviously put in to question the actual legality of the company to start with.
