    Got a helpful and timely response from the Federation of Accounting Practitioners in Thailand :-)

     

    Dear Sam,
    There is no list of certified accounting software available in Thailand. The users can buy any software applications that suit their business.

    Best Regards.

Hey Sam,

 

My previous employer (Exact) was Thailand compliant and also made the software available in the local language. 

 

From memory its Tax that is you have to watch out for, they have Thai witholding Tax, businesses require a Thai tax identification number (13 digits I think), the VAT reporting and rounding. 

 

I do not believe there has been any variation since 2014 but this article could still be valid.

    Cheers Carl, Everything seems usual, and well within the capabilities of Exo Business with extra fields if required (probably not)  and tax key point configuration.

    The Key fact is that, from the horse's mouth below,  there is no such list of exclusive compliant software vendors, which was the hypothesis that was being proposed.

     

    Thanks for watching  :-)

      Does your prospect have a requirement to store/display non-English characters in EXO?

        Not my prospect Dave,  I posted on Enprise NZ behalf.  

         

        They might want to have some Thai characters in some extra fields. Maybe on some customer facing documents (Invoices or statement layouts etc) but no stated expectation of this. Their user is very familiar with Exo Business capabilities already.  Certainly, no stated expectation to have the operator's UI in anything other than English. 

         

        Are you going somewhere with that? 

Looking for something else?
