About AusThai
Built from more than two decades of firsthand experience
Thailand can be welcoming and full of opportunity, but its systems, language, culture and business practices can be difficult to navigate from Australia or during a new relocation.
20+years living in Thailand
Experience that helps clients avoid unnecessary mistakes
AusThai was founded by an Australian who has lived in Thailand for more than 20 years and
has practical experience across business, technology, cross-border commercial projects,
property and everyday life in the country.
That experience provides an understanding of where expectations can differ, which questions
should be asked, what should be independently checked and when a licensed specialist is needed.
- Long-term knowledge of Thai systems, customs and working practices
- Experience communicating between Australian and Thai expectations
- Practical understanding of business, relocation and property-related processes
- A network of professional and service-provider relationships developed over time
What we actually do
AusThai acts as a practical point of contact and coordinator. We research, organise, attend, inspect, verify, follow up and report—depending on what the client needs.
- Explain the realistic options and likely process
- Identify appropriate local providers, partners or specialists
- Coordinate meetings, visits, documents and practical arrangements
- Be present on the ground when the client cannot be
- Provide clear written, photographic or video reporting where agreed
- Refer regulated work to appropriately qualified professionals
