A Smarter Way to Expand Your Business
Expanding your business into Thailand offers huge opportunities—but dealing with local labor laws, payroll, and HR compliance can quickly become a challenge. That’s why many international companies partner with a Organisation d'Employeurs Professionnels (PEO) in Thailand.
Did you know? More than 70% of foreign businesses entering Thailand use a PEO to hire legally without opening a local entity.
In this guide, we’ll explain how a PEO helps streamline your business expansion and why it’s one of the smartest decisions for companies looking to enter the Thai market efficiently.
A PEO is a third-party organization that acts as your co-employer. It legally hires your staff in Thailand on your behalf and manages key HR functions like:
Payroll & tax compliance
Gestion des avantages sociaux
Work permits & visa processing
Thai labor law compliance
With a PEO, you can hire employees in Thailand without creating a Thai legal entity. This saves time, money, and unnecessary legal risks.
Setting up a Thai company can take months. A PEO allows you to:
Hire quickly and legally
Test the market without commitment
Launch short-term or pilot projects
Perfect for businesses looking to validate product-market fit in Thailand.
Thailand’s labor regulations are complex and frequently updated. PEOs:
Ensure contracts follow Thai labor standards
Handle tax filings and social security
Reduce the risk of fines or labor disputes
Peace of mind knowing your workforce is 100% compliant.
PEOs manage HR at scale, giving you:
Access to lower insurance and benefit rates
Reduced overhead (no HR team needed)
No need for accounting or payroll software
Cut operational costs while gaining top-tier HR support.
Hiring expatriates in Thailand? Your PEO will:

Seamless onboarding for your foreign staff.
Attract and retain top talent in Thailand with:
Health insurance

Offer benefits usually reserved for large corporations—without the overhead.
Whether you’re growing fast or restructuring:

Adjust workforce size with no long-term risk
Stay agile in a rapidly changing market.
