Thailand is competitive

With a labour force of over 38 million, strong governmental support and ASEAN’s second-largest economy, Thailand remains an attractive destination for savvy investors.

• A promising host economy: Thailand has demonstrated remarkable economic progress, recording a 21 percent growth in foreign direct investment inflows, a remarkable accomplishment when compared to the global average of 0.7 percent over the same period.
• Continued growth in exports: Thanks to an increase in exports and a booming tourism industry that attracts over 30 million visitors per year, Thailand hit a record current-account surplus of USD 48.2 billion in 2017.
• Lower costs, better lifestyle: Thailand offers foreign investors a number of noteworthy incentives, from a 20 percent corporate income tax to the most affordable prime quality office space in Asia-Pacific.

Thailand is up-and-coming

Thailand climbed to number 26 on the World Bank’s most recent Doing Business database, which measures business regulations and ranks 190 economies on their ease of doing business.

• Starting a business: Thailand abolished a rule that required a company to obtain a corporate seal before it could form, and eliminated the need for the Labor Department to approve company work regulations. Now it takes only four and a half days to start a business – down from 27 and a half days.
