Thailand as a hub of the Community of Southeast Asian States (ASEAN) offers many opportunities for western companies and start-ups. The Board of Investment (BoI) provides investment security for foreign enterprises and attractive tax incentives.

However, every investment and business activity in Thailand should be planned and prepared carefully. Under the Thai Foreign Business Act many business activities are prohibited to foreigners without a so-called Foreign Business License. These legal restrictions create a market for cheap one-model-fits-all products which often backfire later.
