Frequently asked questions

Do I need to already have a Thai partner to join this session?

Not at all. This session is designed for anyone who is considering collaboration in Thailand, whether you’ve already started or are just exploring the idea.

Will we talk about legal structures like Thai companies or BOI setups?

Yes, we will touch on the basics of legal frameworks and options to structure a partnership or business safely, but this is not a legal consultation. You’ll leave with a clearer idea of what to research or ask a lawyer later.

Is this session only for startups?

No. It’s relevant for anyone looking to work with a local partner—whether you’re launching a business, offering services, creating products, or expanding an existing brand.

Can I ask questions about my own situation?

Yes. There’s time for Q&A at the end, and if you book a VIP ticket, you also get a 1:1 strategy consult where we can talk more privately and in detail.

Will I meet potential business partners at this session?

This session is not a networking or matchmaking event. It’s focused on education and strategy, though you may meet other attendees with similar goals. If you're interested in local business matching, we can assist separately.
