How many white hip-hop artists, sing songs/rap about selling crack and other drugs on the streets and pimping vulnerable women as prostitutes, and beating them if they don't earn enough cash? Who also brag about doing drive by shootings and murdering people?

Again thank you for the replies.

I think my best option is to sub-contract the work out or I am going to be paying way to much tax and additional overheads.

As far as me working here goes it would be nothing more than instructing my manager overseas via email/phone to contact the Thai co. and pay any bills from our company in Europe.

Thank you for the replies.

Interesting about the rep office however I am not really exporting an actual Thai product. An example of my sales cycle would be similar to;

Someone paying me to build a website, paying the funds into my offshore company account and me then paying a Thai to design/build website.

At first I would need to employ around 3-4 Thai staff, with the aim of adding an extra 3-4 over the first year.

I don't think there is much risk of a Thai company stealing my clients (if i contract out the work) as it is a lot more involved than building a website and the clients pay for a lot more than just the production of service.

It would be like saying a printers could steal clients from a window and door installers, becasue they have been printing brochures for the last year. However I do want to stay legal here so maybe setting up the Thai Co. is the way forward, but where is the line drawn with what counts as work? Can i open the Thai Co. and conduct business with another Thai Co. on just a B visa?

Hi all,

Long time lurker first time poster as they say

I am currently in the process of putting my own company together and would like to remain living here in Thailand. Currently living on a non 'O' visa.

I will be selling my services to overseas clients, using an overseas sales team, collecting payment online into an offshore bank account. What I would like to do however is use a Thai based company to actually do the production work. So all sales are made outside of Thailand but the product is made and shipped from here to clients, which they have already paid for to my Co. outside of Thailand.

Would my best option be to open a Thai Ltd Co. or contract to a Thai company?
