I have worked in Thailand for more than ten years. I started out in equipment trading and engineering, working alongside Thai teams on construction sites and factory floors. In 2019 I moved into cross-border legal, accounting and advisory work, handling company setup, BOI applications and day-to-day compliance for foreign-owned businesses and individuals in Thailand.

Today I run Chin Yao Advisory Co., Ltd. in Taiwan and CYA Co., Ltd. in Thailand, leading a local team in Bangkok. We help Chinese-speaking businesses go from zero to one in Thailand, and help companies already operating here with the problems that come up between one and a hundred.

This site shares what I see on the front line: where things commonly go wrong, what the rules actually say, and how they work in practice.
