Hiring in Thailand

Thailand has a skilled yet cost-effective workforce that attracts top companies around the world, plus modern infrastructure and internet services that support efficient working for remote employees. But before businesses and NGOs hire there, it’s important they understand Thailand’s intricate labor laws. Employment relationships in Thailand are governed by national legislation, including the Labor Protection Act B.E. 2541 (1998), judicial precedents, and both collective and individual contracts. Numerous statutes and regulations established by the Thai government work together to protect employee rights and outline employer obligations.

Additionally, Thai law regulates — and in certain cases, sets specific requirements for — the use of temporary or contract workers. Fixed-term contracts must be in writing and are subject to specific conditions, including limitations on duration and renewals. 

Because of the complexity of employment laws in Thailand, compliant employment contracts are an essential business need. With expert guidance, you can employ workers in Thailand with confidence, knowing that every contract meets all legal requirements. We also provide guidance on local cultural norms and hiring best practices, ensuring you stay up to date with evolving employment regulations.

Relying on an employer of record (EOR) in Thailand

An employer of record (EOR) provides an easier way for organizations to hire and pay local talent in Thailand. Because of its in-country presence, the EOR can employ the workers a company needs and lease them to that company, taking care to comply with Thailand’s labor laws. As a result, the organization doesn’t have to establish a legal presence or manage compliance in Thailand. 

The EOR can hire and onboard employees in as little as two weeks and manage ongoing responsibilities such as payroll, benefits, and taxes. A full-service EOR can also manage recruitment. Together, these EOR services significantly reduce the administrative burden for an organization.
