Hire employees in Thailand, hassle-free
With Deel, your business can easily hire employees in Thailand. No more worrying about local laws, complex tax systems, or managing international payroll. Deel takes care of everything in 150+ countries.
Hire employees in Thailand. No entity needed.
Usually, to hire in Thailand, your business needs an entity. That means a local office, an address registered as a subsidiary, and an account with a local bank. All of this, plus navigating regional benefits, payroll, tax, and HR laws, can take months.
Thailand also treats contractors differently than full-time employees, so misclassifying a contractor could lead to fines. Deel lets you hire employees in Thailand quickly, easily, and compliantly. We even automate tax document collection, payroll, benefits, and more.
