Company Setup for Foreign Founders

Set Up Your Thai Company the Right Way — From Day One

We’re an independent, expat-built guidance layer. We don’t sell legal services. If you want help, we can refer you (free) — by email — to one vetted specialist aligned with your needs and city.

Serving Bangkok · Phuket · Pattaya · Hua Hin · Koh Samui · Chiang Mai

The Thailand Advisor

Start with your location

Everything starts with speaking to the right person in the area you plan to operate.

While Thai law is national, interpretation, enforcement, and risk are local. Select your city so we can connect you to the correct knowledge hub and partner.

Who We Are

Most foreigners don’t fail because Thai law is unclear — they fail because they follow the wrong advice from the wrong people.

The Thailand Advisor (TTA) is an independent filter. We help you choose the right structure and refer you to one accountable provider — not a list of agencies.

The 5 Pillars
Pillar 1 · Independent Guidance
Zero sales pressure. Just facts.
Pillar 2 · Vetted Specialists Only
Licensed, credible, foreign-facing firms.
Pillar 3 · Transparent Scope
Clear fees, deliverables, boundaries.
Pillar 4 · One Provider, Full Chain
Setup, compliance, work rights aligned.
Pillar 5 · Incentives Aligned
Clients never pay TTA.

You pay nothing to TTA. We refer you once — to the team most likely to deliver.

Vetted Partner Network

We work with a limited number of licensed, Thailand-based specialists who consistently deliver compliant outcomes for foreign founders.

Partners are selected based on track record, regulatory alignment, and their ability to support clients end-to-end — not on commission volume.

How the network works
One Network, Not a Directory

We don’t list agencies. We route you to one accountable specialist based on your structure and location.

Region-Specific Execution

Enforcement and practice vary by region. Partners are selected for local execution capability, not just legal theory.

Incentives Aligned

Clients never pay us. Our reputation depends on long-term outcomes, not short-term referrals.

You remain in control at all times. Introductions are made by email, and only after we understand your intended structure and location.
