Could I Make This Business Legal In Thailand?

[finy]

I've been building up my online business over the last year. Right now I'm making $3000 per month, though this is through freelancing, and I'm hoping my main site will start earning at least another $2000 per month soon.

I need to hire employees so I figured I could hire Thai's instead of Filipinos since nothing requires English.

I need someone to make animated videos and another to do everyday tasks. I know you need 3 people so maybe a cook/cleaner could be the final position.

Firstly, would I be able to set up a company this way. Also, how much would I be looking at for each position. I'm not after the cheapest possible, I'd pay them a nice wage.

Cheers

You need 4 thai workers not 3.

Yes he is correct regarding minimum wage and needing 4 Thais to get your work permit not 3 however the one you need to make "animated videos" sounds like it requires someone with skills so I would obviously pay them more then the cleaners etc.

Thanks for the help. Those prices are very helpful since I'd need 4 people. Though I don't think I'd be able to pay someone 250 bht per day, which is a good thing because they will think they are getting a good deal.

I was thinking paying the animation guy about 20-25,000, but I want to get a wizzkid straight out of the last year of uni.
