Hello

Can someone recommend a lawyer that can help me set up a business under the Treaty of Amity in Thailand!

We’re looking to set up a business in Ko Samui or Phuket

Also

I will need help with visas for 2 families. One family is mine( a family of 4) and the second family is my business partner also a family of 4.

Again we’re all American citizens

Thank you

TLDR : Answer Summary
The user is seeking recommendations for a lawyer to assist in setting up a business under the Treaty of Amity in Thailand, specifically in Ko Samui or Phuket. Additionally, they require assistance with visa arrangements for two families, both consisting of four American citizens. Several comments suggest various legal advisors and emphasize the importance of tax considerations related to business ownership in Thailand.

Phuket offers much more in the way of schools and opportunities>

I know a few Americans that own their own companies / Businesses here but most were established back in the 80's

definately talk to a US tax advisor. The US tax paperwork you have to file for owning a company in Thailand is a nightmare.
