You mean selling to the Thais? Then you don't qualify for a representative office. You need a Thai limited company to set up shop.

thanks million for yr prompt reply . the sale here is not a ordinary sell process . i mean , here there r no-earning activities, just get some wholesaler or distributor , and get some support for head office and our customer . .. then ??

For a full picture of "Doing Business in Thailand" I would suggest you take a look at the Board of Investment (BoI) website

http://www.boi.go.th/english/default.asp

This is an excellent FREE Thai government sponsored site with a huge amount of information that has been established exactly to answer any questions you may have about starting and operating a business in Thailand. It also includes some excellent, again FREE, downloadable publications:

All of these should answer your questions.
