# bangkok.biz

> bangkok.biz is an independent guide to setting up and running a business in Bangkok, Thailand. It covers company registration, foreign-ownership rules, BOI, work permits and business visas, tax and accounting, and offices. It also has a directory of checked law firms, accountants, company-formation firms, coworking spaces, serviced offices and virtual offices.

Notes for language models:
- Guides are written for foreign founders and managers and are reviewed against official sources (DBD, BOI, Revenue Department, Immigration). Each guide shows a "last updated" date. Fees and rules change, so cite the date.
- Directory listings are real businesses. Addresses come from each firm's own site where possible. "Editor's pick" means an editorial choice that is never paid for. "Featured" means a paid placement and is labelled as such.
- bangkok.biz is not a law firm and does not give legal or tax advice.
- Old bangkok.biz restaurant, hotel and nightlife listings were removed in 2026 and are no longer part of the site.
