Global hiring is a tough challenge. With our hiring guide, you can see all possibilities you have for hiring a remote worker based in Thailand.
Add hiring optionPlane takes care of payroll, benefits, and compliance for US-based companies hiring remote employees and contractors internationally. Onboard and pay employees in 160+ countries without having to set up local entities. Plane handles employment paperwork, tax withholding, and more, with contracts that support a streamlined, two-step IP transfer. If you’re hiring contractors instead, you can use Plane to onboard and pay contractors in 240+ countries, with no markup fees. Payments are sent directly to contractors’ bank accounts, so that they don’t need to use an e-wallet. The employee plan has a flat fee starting from $299/month/employee, and the contractor plan has a flat fee of $29/month/contractor.
The legally compliant way to hire employees in any country of the world is to set up a sub-corporation in said country. Depending on the country, this is easier said than done and often needs local representation. It's therefore only realistic to do if you are planning on quickly hiring a larger team in a specific country or are already working with a big workforce in a specifc country.
Shield GEO is an international employer of record (or EOR) allowing you to use their services to hire remote employees in their countries of operation. Shield GEO is one of the services that has the widest coverage of operation, making it possible to hire employees in almost any country in the world.
Additionally to EOR services, Shield GEO also offers tax, compliance and payroll consultations.
Orissa focuses on the South East Asian market and can help with EOR services there. Orissa can also directly help with recruitment, followed by local legal compliance when hiring. Pricing is not transparent and is done through proposals.
Deel is a payment solution and management software for remote teams that are planning to onboard remote employees in the form of contractors. The issue that Deel solves here is establishing legally compliant contracts with everyone and running payroll, making sure that everyone gets paid on time, no matter where they are.
Compared to running your own payroll, this obviously comes at a cost. However, the cost is substantially lower than a EOR (employer of record) solution and starting at just $50/month.

The catch-all solution to hiring remote workers is to do so as independent contractors. ICA (Independent Contractor Agreements) are usually simple and short contracts that are legally compliant in some form or another in any country of the world.
The important distinction here is that independent contractors are not legally employed as employees. In their respective jurisdictions, your employees may therefore not be legally protected under employment laws, but are self-employed.

With a pricing point starting at $770 flat per employee and month, it's on the cheaper side of global payroll services. In return for that, Papaya provides employees with tax filing, cross-border payments, compliance checks and more.
New Horizons has a strong focus on central and east asia, as well as the middle east, and offers coverage as EOR service in a few countries that are usually going forgotten. As usual, agreements are being done through proposals and there might be wiggle room for custom offers.
