🇹🇭 What does it take to build a successful tech company in Thailand as a foreigner?

💡 Andrea Buosi, founder of Crazy Web Studio, pulls back the curtain on his 14-year entrepreneurial journey — from leaving corporate life at Electrolux 🏢 to building the first BOI web development company in Southern Thailand 🌴.

🚀 This conversation reveals a little-known opportunity through Thailand’s Board of Investment (BOI) program:

✅ 100% foreign ownership
✅ No need to hire 4 Thai staff per foreigner
✅ 2-year work permits
✅ Tax and visa benefits

Andrea shares how his specialized web & 3D rendering services qualified for this elite status — and warns why bars, restaurants, and most typical expat businesses won’t qualify ❌.

🎯 We dive deep into the cultural challenges of doing business in Thailand — from hiring difficulties to the communication gap between Thai 🇹🇭 and Western 🌍 work culture.

🌍 In a surprising twist, Andrea shares why he’s leaving Phuket after a decade for Siem Reap, Cambodia 🇰🇭. What used to be a paradise has become an overcrowded hotspot, and it’s no longer home 🛫.

🎙️ Whether you're dreaming of launching a business in Thailand or just curious about expat life in Southeast Asia, this episode offers rare, unfiltered insights into both the highs and challenges of building a life and business in paradise 🌅.
