Thailand, as the second largest economic body of Southeast Asia with advanced geographical position and traffics, is the centre of Southeast economic and finance, as well as the aviation hub of the area. Thailand has attracted increasing numbers of cross-border enterprises, including Chinese enterprises, to develop their business in the country with such geography and investment advantages. Moreover, as the initiator of the Asean, Thailand is located in the hinterland of Asia with strong market radiation capacity. In 2015, with the acceleration of the constructing of Asean integration, the Asean ten countries (Thailand, Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Philippine, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar) will all achieve zero tariff. The maximum of Thai tax incentives would also be an 8-year exempted cooperate income tax and a 5-year deducted cooperate income tax. Such easy investment circumstances and beneficial tax policies have made Thailand one of the first options to invest in to China.

Along with the provision of“One Belt and One Road”and the establishment of the new economic integrity of Asean region framework, China will enjoy more convenience to explore the surrounding countries and markets around Thailand, and even stretch to Japan, Europe and U.S. through Thailand. After this communication of Yingke lawyers, a sound base is also founded for the further development of Yingke in Thailand in all directions. On the other hand, Yingke will initiate comprehensive strategic cooperation with Thailand Yuxi International Investment Group Co., Ltd. in assisting Chinese enterprises to go abroad. In the coming days, Yingke Asean-China Centre will also reside in Thailand, aiming to provide one-stop legal and commercial services for Chinese enterprises going to Asean.
