TBH. We Make Business Easy.
A straight-talking promise from our Pattaya office.
We do the paperwork so you don't have to.
The Thai system has a few hurdles to overcome — especially with the paperwork required for visas, work permits and company setup. We've been managing that paperwork for clients since 2010, so you don't have to learn it the hard way.
No hidden fees or expensive add-ons.
Be cautious of any agency or person without a real office or website — and of misleading quotes that quietly grow. We always tell our clients the total cost before we proceed. What you're quoted is what you pay.
Fair fixed prices, quoted in full up front.
You get the total cost in writing before we start: our professional fee and every government fee, itemised. No mid-process add-ons, no surprise extras, no vague estimates that quietly grow. If a case turns out to be more complex than it first looked, we tell you before we do the work, not after.

Meet the FounderMore about our story
The friendly face behind Thai Business Help.
Thai Business Help was founded in March 2010 by Maneerat "Mam" Yamsaso. Before starting TBH, Mam spent many years inside Pattaya's property and development sector with several leading companies — building the network and inside-knowledge that still serves our clients today.
Mam has direct connections with the right people in the right places — immigration officers, DBD registrars, accountants and lawyers — which means quicker turnarounds and the best fair prices for visas, work permits and company services.
We work by appointment only so every client gets proper personal service. If there will ever be a delay, we'll let you know.
Why are we cheaper?
Lower overheads from a shared office building, and most new clients come from word-of-mouth referrals.
What makes us different?
Personal service, fair pricing and total transparency — we treat clients the way we'd want to be treated.
