Running a Thailand company comes with annual compliance obligations. Here's a comprehensive guide for NRI business owners in 2025.

5. Social Security Contributions
Companies with employees must register with the Social Security Office and remit monthly contributions (5% employer, 5% employee, capped at THB 750/month each).
6. BOI Reporting (if applicable)
