Cadbury Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Number 27 seems a reasonable ranking for Doing Business in Thailand. Unlike # 39 for starting a business or # 67 for dealing with construction permits or # 66 for registering property. The last two are probably due to the envelope factor.

CGW Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 All this "survey" does is create jobs for "the boys" no meaning or use in the real world! ???? Wonder if they are hiring? ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the guest Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Doing business and using Thailand as a hub is a definite no-no. Too much bureaucracy, red-tape and xenophobia. I took my businesses to HK & Singapore ages ago, and having no problems functioning as a normal entity, where they do take you seriously and treat you as equal.

I can see you being prosecuted under the computer crimes act - for posting fake news. Just the sort of thing the PM won't tolerate - if he can suppress it.

DrTuner Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 That ranking doesn't really reflect the reality when you want to bring in foreign experts to a small company. The weights are set to match non-SME business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowboat Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 If you do business outside of the country, it is far far easier. Doing business with, not dong business in. In any regard, 27 strikes me as far too generous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the World Bank Ease of DOing Business Index does not look at foreign investor businesses, only local businesses and usually only limited liability companies.
