Many years ago, we changed from a physical office to a serviced office.
It was one of the best decisions ever. Since then, our admin work had been significantly decreased. Monthly bills for electric, internet, phone, water, and office cleaners vanished. And expenses for coffee, water, tissues, and dish washing liquid were no more.
We didn’t have to fix water leaks in restrooms or replace security door batteries. We didn’t lose money selling unused furniture at cheap prices.
We now only have to pay our serviced office fee which was deducted from our credit card. It’s much easier to manage with much less overhead cost expenses.
Because of these, it’s no wonder why companies, both big and small, are moving into serviced offices.
There are easily over 20 serviced offices available in Bangkok, from the business area of Sukhumvit to the outskirts of Bangkok in Bangna. Let’s take a look at how to find the right one for you or your company.

Key Takeaways
- A serviced office replaces multiple bills (electricity, internet, water, cleaning) with one monthly fee, which makes budgeting much simpler.
- Prices start around THB12,000 per month for a single shared workstation and go up to THB85,000 per month for a private office with 8 workstations.
- Unlike traditional offices that require a 12-month minimum, many serviced offices in Bangkok offer contracts as short as one month.
- Most are located near BTS or MRT stations in Sukhumvit, Sathorn, and Ratchada, and some providers like Regus have dozens of Bangkok locations to choose from.
- Watch for hidden extras: kitchen amenities, internet, key cards, and parking are often not included in the base price and can add THB1,000-2,000 or more per month.
- You can use a serviced office address to register your company with the DBD and for VAT. Providers usually supply the address documents, often for a fee of a few thousand baht.
- Main drawbacks are limited space and glass-walled rooms that offer little privacy, which is not ideal if your team handles sensitive data or is growing quickly.
Serviced Office vs Coworking Space vs Virtual Office
Not every business needs a full serviced office. Here’s how the three main options compare before you read further.
| Office Type | Monthly Cost Range | Best For |
| Serviced office | THB12,000 – 85,000 | Registered companies that need a private, lockable office and a real desk for staff |
| Coworking space | Day passes and hot-desk plans, priced per provider | Freelancers, remote workers, and small teams that don’t need a registered company address |
| Virtual office | THB2,000 – 4,000 | Companies that only need a registered address and mail handling, with staff working elsewhere |
- Choose a serviced office if: you’re registering a company in Thailand and need a private space plus desks for staff, not just an address.
- Choose a coworking space if: you’re a freelancer or small team that doesn’t need a Thai company registration or a fixed address.
- Choose a virtual office if: you only need a registered business address and mail handling, and your team works from elsewhere. See our full guide to virtual offices in Bangkok.
A registered serviced office address can also support a work permit application for foreign staff. The Department of Employment asks for your company registration, shareholder list and VAT registration, plus a map of the workplace.
What Do You Get from Using a Serviced Office?
When you rent a serviced office, it’s easier to manage your budget. Your monthly fees cover everything, so there’s no surprises when utility bills roll around each month.
Serviced offices include everything you need to do business in Thailand, from workstations to accounting advice.
Meeting new people is also an indirect benefit of serviced offices. These people could turn out to be future business partners. Strangers in co-working spaces can give you unexpected business ideas.
Here’s some more details on what you get from using a serviced office, in addition to office spaces and fast internet.
Accounting and Legal Advice
Some serviced office providers take care of all your administrative tasks so that you can focus on building and running your business. They can help you with payroll management, accounting, and even visas and work permits.
Some might even be able to help you open a company.
Furniture
Office tables, chairs, and file cabinets are just some of the furniture provided in serviced offices. If you need more, serviced offices might give you free furniture. Or they might charge you.
You can bring your own furniture as well.
Lounges
Along with private offices, serviced offices also offer shared workspaces and lounges, where you can work with power and internet. You can get free coffee and tea here.
Co-Working Spaces
Serviced offices come with co-working spaces. Large serviced offices including Regus might offer member cards that let you use their co-working spaces at any of their worldwide branches.
Meeting Rooms
Your serviced office package might give you free access to meeting rooms equipped with audio and visual equipment. But you’re limited to a certain number of hours per month. Or you’ll need to pay for rooms at member prices. You usually need to book in advance.
Mail Services
Receptionists handle mail services. They can send mail or faxes to your room. Some can even scan mail and faxes and send them to your email account.
For important documents like those from the Revenue Department, you might need to pick them up for security reasons. Receptionists can also deliver mail for a small fee.
Messaging Services
Serviced offices also offer phone services. They can take messages and forward calls. Some can answer specific questions from customers. But this costs extra.
Amenities
With a serviced office, you get drinking water, coffee, tea, microwave, refrigerator, kitchenware, daily cleaning, and newspapers.
Extras
You can get more pay-as-you-use services not mentioned above. This ranges from printing, scanning, and messenger services, to IT support, help desk, and even computer server rentals.

Finding Serviced Offices
Serviced offices in Bangkok are mostly inside office buildings near the MRT or BTS around Sukhumvit, Sathorn, and Ratchada.
Although there are some serviced offices in Lad Prao, Wongwian Yai, and Bang Na, you’re limited in choices. There are over 30 providers in Bangkok. And numbers keep growing.
Serviced offices vary in size depending on the building. And providers tend to rent whole floors, or more, and make separate rooms. Common packages are for three to six people.
Regus is one of a few service office providers that offer small serviced offices with one workstation. However, rooms with over seven workstations are hard to come by.
If you want to compare serviced offices, you’ll have to do it yourself. Unlike renting an apartment, there aren’t any comparison sites to compare prices, packages, and available rooms.
This info is unlikely to appear even on serviced office providers’ websites. You need to contact them and ask for prices and packages.
Serviced office providers might not mention extra costs for kitchen amenities, internet, key cards, and company signs until you sign the contract.
Tip: A quick visit is necessary to check about payments, package inclusions and exclusions, costs, operating hours, and any other needs for your business. Also, check with companies that do business inside the serviced office. They can tell you how good the serviced office is.

Serviced Office Providers
Thailand has seen a huge increase in serviced offices over the years and as providers try to find ways to differentiate themselves from the competition, serviced offices have taken on lives of their own.
You can find everything from corporate serviced offices to vibrant and inspiring workspaces. Depending on your needs, there is a variety of providers to choose from.
- ATA Services provides a one-stop solution for all your business needs, which includes help with visas and work permits, recruitment, payroll, accounting, car rentals, and more.
- Regus, on the other hand, has the greatest number of choices. You can find them throughout Bangkok and they have serviced offices of every size.
- Another serviced office provider you can look at is Spaces. They offer a community-focused creative work environment and host a lot of events.
They even have locations directly above the office of Thailand’s Board of Investment and One-Stop Service Center for visas and work permits, which is great if you start a BOI-promoted company in Thailand.
Here’s a list of all the serviced office providers in Bangkok and what they specialize in:
- ATA Services: one-stop service solution
- Regus: largest global network of workspaces
- Spaces: community-focused creative work environments
- JustCo: modernized workspaces
- WeWork: beautiful, collaborative workspaces
- The Work Loft: warm and homey multi-purpose co-working space
- The Hive: creative, communal workspaces
- Launchpad: creative and community-driven environment
Which Providers Still Run Bangkok Centres?
Serviced office operators open, move and close centres often. These providers list the Bangkok centres below on their own websites. (Verified October 2026.)
| Provider | Bangkok centres listed on its website |
| Servcorp | Dusit Central Park, The Offices at CentralWorld, Park Ventures Ecoplex, Mercury Tower |
| JustCo | One Bangkok, Gaysorn Amarin, Capital Tower (All Seasons Place), Jubilee Prestige Tower, Silom Edge, with Samyan Mitrtown listed as opening in September 2026 |
| IW Serviced Office | Sathorn (Sathorn Thani), Sukhumvit and Nana, Phrom Phong |
| Linuxx | Vanissa Building (Chit Lom) and Emporium Tower (Phrom Phong) |
| Launchpad | Sethiwan Tower and Sethiwan Sathon |
| The Right Office | Sathorn Thani Building 1, 16th floor |
Regus, Spaces and WeWork also run Bangkok centres. Check the location page of the building you want before you book a tour, because their centre lists change.
What to Ask Before You Sign
A private office looks the same on a tour whether or not it can support your registration. Ask these questions first.
- Documents: which address papers do they supply for the DBD and the Revenue Department, and what do they charge?
- Total monthly cost: what do internet, phone, key cards, parking and kitchen supplies add to the base price?
- Contract and notice: how long is the minimum term, and how much written notice do you need to give?
- Room to grow: can you move to a bigger room in the same building when you hire?
Locations
Serviced offices are available throughout Bangkok. Serviced offices tend to be in great locations, just a few minutes away from the MRT and BTS stations. You can find a lot of them in business districts. There are serviced offices available even on the outskirts of Bangkok.
Below is a list of serviced offices in key areas in Bangkok.
Asoke
Being one of the biggest business districts in Bangkok, you can find many serviced offices in Asoke. The most convenient serviced office in this area is Regus in Exchange Tower. The building is connected to BTS Asoke/MRT Sukhumvit station.
You’ll find everything you need to run your company in this building. Various banks are located here. It’s also a few minutes’ walk to Terminal 21, which has the best food court in Thailand.
Another popular serviced office provider in this area is Corporate Serviced Offices.
Phrom Phong
Phrom Phong is only a BTS station away from Asoke. Serviced offices in this area are inside office buildings of the luxury department stores in Thailand, which are connected to BTS Phrom Phong.
Because of this, it’s very convenient, modern, and secure.
If you want to rent a serviced office here, check out Regus at Bangkok Bhiraj Tower. It’s an office building in EmQuartier, the luxurious shopping mall in Bangkok that has plenty of brand name stores and international food.
On the opposite side of EmQuartier, check out Linuxx Serviced Office at Emporium Tower. It’s on the 10th floor of Emporium Tower, next to Emporium, another luxurious mall that’s been open since 1997.
Thonglor
Two BTS stations away from Asoke, Thonglor is popular among Japanese residents. You’ll find a lot of Japanese restaurants and stores in this area. Many businesses and traditional office buildings are also here.
Unlike Asoke and Phrom Phong, serviced offices in Thonglor aren’t directly connected to the BTS station. Instead, the buildings are located inside Soi Thonglor.
To get there, you would need to take a motorcycle taxi or walk, if you don’t mind the heat of Bangkok.
You won’t find big-name serviced office providers in this area. If you’re interested in renting a serviced office in Thonglor, check out The Hive and MINT.
Ekamai
Ekamai is famous for its nightlife, restaurants, and bars. During the day, you’ll see a lot of office workers throughout the area.
Ekamai is like Thonglor. You won’t find any big-name serviced office providers here. You have to take a motorcycle to get there. And traffic is heavy at night.
You can check out UnionSpace.
Sathorn
Sathorn has been the central business district in Bangkok for decades. It still holds true today.
Because of this, office prices in Sathorn are more expensive than in other areas but have a lot of offices available.
If you want to save some budget, you can check out Spaces. They are near Sathorn. Their location is very good. You can walk directly from MRT Samyan station. They also have a community-driven workspace, which increases your chances of building your network.
If you still want to be in Sathorn, check out Regus. They have serviced offices inside Bangkok Chartered Square and Bangkok Sathorn Square, the two grade-A office buildings located next to BTS Chong Nonsi station.
Next to them, you’ll find IW Serviced Office and The Right Office in the same Sathorn Thani Building.
Rama IV
If you want a cheaper alternative to Sathon, you can check out Rama IV. Although it isn’t a business district, many well-known companies are there, including Channel 3 TV Station, the biggest TV channel in Thailand, and Bumrungrad Hospital.
The area is much cheaper than Sathorn, but it’s still convenient.
You can check out ATA Serviced Offices at Green Tower. It’s about five minutes away from MRT Queen Sirikit Center station. There are a lot of banks nearby.
It’s also next to Big C, Tesco, and Suanplern Market, a new community mall on Rama 4.
Pathumwan
Pathumwan is a shopping area. Siam Paragon, Central World, and MBK Center are all there. It has the second most expensive land prices in Thailand next to Silom at over 3,000,000 baht per four square meters.
There’s no doubt that serviced offices in this area are also more expensive than in other areas. The price is comparable to a serviced office inside a modern office building in Sathorn.
Regus at Bangkok Siam Tower is the most prominent serviced office in this area. It’s only a few minutes away from BTS Siam station.
For a cheaper alternative, you can checkout Regus at CRC Tower, which is a 12-minute walk from BTS Ploentchit station.
Another serviced office you can check in this area is CEO SUITE at Athenee Tower.
Rama IX
Rama IX is expected to be a new business district in Bangkok with emerging modern office buildings within walking distance from the MRT Rama IX station. Office prices in this area aren’t as high as Asoke or Sathorn, but you’ll get similar facilities.
A recommended serviced office in this area is Regus at the Ninth Tower. It’s five minutes’ walk from Central Rama 9 and the MRT Rama IX station.
Bangna
Although being on the outskirts of Bangkok, Bangna is in a very convenient location, especially if you need to go to Chonburi regularly. It takes only a one-hour drive to get to the industrial parks in Chonburi and two hours to Pattaya.
In addition, it’s a new residential area for expats and locals with affordable condos for rent. You can hire good employees there, especially for those who want to work close to their homes.
The great thing about this area is the prices, which are cheaper than inside the city.
You can check out ATA Services here. They are around 10 minutes away from BTS Udomsuk.
Other
There are serviced offices in other locations that we haven’t mentioned here. There is Comet Office in Wonwian Yai, and the Phyll Connect in Onnut.
Prices
Serviced offices tend to cost more than standard offices, especially for large companies. Serviced office prices depend on several factors including:
- size
- number of available workstations
- location
Serviced office prices normally start around 15,000 baht per month. This gets you a 10-square meter room with one workstation and file cabinet.
You can find cheaper packages. But they come with smaller rooms or shared spaces. For rooms with three workstations, prices should start around 38,000 baht per month.
On average, you’ll pay around 350 baht per person, per day for serviced offices in normal locations and buildings, and 500 baht per person, per day for better locations and buildings.
For luxurious buildings and convenient locations, you might pay 600 baht per person, per day.
But overall, serviced office providers give different prices, even within the same area.
In Asoke, for example, a serviced office with three workstations from Regus in Exchange Tower Building costs around 35,000 baht a month.
A serviced office with four workstations from Corporate Serviced Office in Glas Haus building costs about 40,000 baht a month.

Location isn’t the only thing that affects the prices of serviced offices. Building conditions also play a key role in prices.
You could have two different serviced office buildings priced differently in the same area if one building is newer than the other or comes with 24-hour access.
Prices in each location also differ with the same serviced office provider, so the same size room can cost noticeably more in Sathorn than on Sukhumvit. Ask each provider for quotes at more than one centre.
Even within the same building, prices vary based on views, spaces, and noise levels.
This table below gives you an estimated price on how much you pay when using a serviced office in Bangkok. Please note that serviced office prices vary. You may find offices cheaper or more expensive.
| Type | Monthly Price |
| 1 work station shared office | 12,000 baht |
| 1 work station private office | 15,000 baht |
| 3 work stations private office | 38,000 baht |
| 6 work stations private office | 65,000 baht |
| 8 work stations private office | 85,000 baht |
Check what you get in serviced office packages. Some packages are cheaper than others. But they don’t include internet, phone, and coffee. While other packages include everything for one price.
Note that each serviced office provider offers different packages, which directly affect their starting prices. Some provide shared spaces, while others only have packages for private rooms with three workstations.
Initial Payment
Like renting an apartment, the initial payment includes a two-month deposit, service fees for the first month, and office setup fees. Expect to get the deposit back unless you break something.
Office setup fees get you keys, access cards to both the office building and serviced office, and everything related to moving in. It’s a one-time payment of 2,000 baht to 3,000 baht.
You may have to pay for company signs in front of your office (a one-time payment) or at office building directories. You need to pay for the latter every month.
If you’d like to register your company in Thailand with a serviced office address, you need papers that prove you can use the address. Most providers issue a letter of consent, which confirms the office building is letting you use it as your office.
This costs 2,000 baht to 3,000 baht for two sets of letters: one for the Department of Business Development and another for the Revenue Department.
Additional Costs
Along with service fees, you have to pay additional costs every month. This varies between serviced office providers. Some serviced office packages include everything. Others don’t.
The first common extra cost is for kitchen amenities such as drinking water, coffee, tea, and kitchenware. Average costs are based on the number of employees you have multiplied by 1,000 baht.
You also have to pay every month for internet and phone service. Some packages include both in one bundle, without giving you the chance to pay only for the internet. This should cost an extra 1,000 baht to 2,000 baht every month.
There are also costs for key cards for security doors, parking spaces, IT support, and pay-as-you-use services.
They tend to cost more than what you’d pay in normal offices. For these services, you’ll pay by the hour, or you’ll pay fixed prices. Some service providers add 20% service fees to actual costs. Convenience comes with a price.
Promotions
Most serviced office providers offer 12-month contract promotions. You can get discounts or free services for the first month.
When you want to end your serviced office contract, send a written notification three months before your contract ends.
Wire transfers and credit cards are common payment methods. Serviced office providers like Regus can even deduct 3% withhold tax (since it’s considered a service, not rent) automatically from credit card payments. You still need withholding tax certificates.
Contract Duration
While a physical office comes with a 12-month contract, with serviced offices, you don’t need to sign long contracts and make investments. It’s hard to find standard offices to rent for less than one year. With serviced offices, you can find contracts for less than six months long.
Some serviced offices let you rent by the month or even day. It’s that simple.
This also makes it easy to move in and out without thinking about how to move or sell furniture at a loss.
Limitations
Serviced offices aren’t perfect. Here are their main limitations.
Space
The first limitation to a serviced office is space. It’s less spacious than traditional offices. You can barely walk through offices packed with tables, chairs, and file cabinets.
And you may need to pay extra to store documents.
Privacy
The second limitation is privacy. Most serviced offices in Thailand divide their rooms by glass instead of cement. And they might not let you stick posters or tint on windows. This lets people see everything your company does. You’ll need to be extra careful when handling confidential data.
There are no private rooms for managers unless you buy costly packages.
Company Growth
The third limitation is about the growth of your business. Service office providers limit the number of available workstations. It’s hard to find rooms with more than 12 workstations. You have no choice but to move if you want to increase your company’s size.
Registering Companies with Serviced Offices
When you rent a serviced office in Bangkok, you can use that address to help register your company in Thailand. Here’s how to do it.
Department of Business Development
The first thing you need to do to set up your business in Thailand is to register it with Department of Business Development. Required documents between companies with standard offices and serviced offices are similar.
For serviced offices, the provider usually issues a letter of consent to prove your address, often as two sets: one for the Department of Business Development and one for the Revenue Department. Providers typically charge a few thousand baht for this paperwork.
Unless company owners are present while registering companies at the Department of Business Development, a lawyer needs to certify the documents. So it’s easier to hire a law firm that can register your company for you for a few thousand baht.
After registering your company with the Department of Business Development, they’ll give you a business registration. This registration is an important document needed by all organizations, both private and government.
Revenue Department
If your company has to pay VAT, you must register with the Revenue Department. They’re stricter than the Department of Business Development. And they need more documents to prove your address.
Along with the lease or consent letter, the Revenue Department asks for a simple map of your location and a photo of the premises that shows the house number. An officer may also visit to inspect your business.
Revenue Department officers are familiar with companies using serviced offices. They can point out exactly which documents you need and how to fill out forms. But different officers may ask for different documents. It might take a few visits to finish everything.
Unlike the Department of Business Development, if business owners are unable to do VAT registrations, they can issue a power of attorney to someone else instead. Usually, an accountant can do it for you.
Other
The procedure to register with other organizations, including the BOI and the Social Security Office, between companies with standard offices and serviced offices is not different. Needed documents and the procedures are the same.
Documents You Need for Your Serviced Office Address
The Department of Business Development (DBD) and the Revenue Department each publish their own checklist. They do not ask for the same things, so read both before you ask your provider for paperwork.
What the DBD Asks For
For a limited company, the DBD checklist asks for the head office address with its house ID code (the number on the building’s house registration), plus a simple map showing the head office and nearby landmarks. The checklist we reviewed does not list a landlord consent letter. (Verified October 2026.)
Your provider may still hand you a consent letter, and a registrar can ask for extra proof. Ask what the provider issues as standard before you pay for it. Our company registration guide covers the rest of the DBD steps.
What the Revenue Department Asks For
You must register for VAT when your annual turnover goes above THB1.8 million. You file Form Por Por 01 within 30 days of crossing that line, at the Area Revenue Office that covers your address. (Verified October 2026.)
The Revenue Department’s document list proves your address through these items:
| Document | Details |
| Lease or consent letter | A lease with duty stamp if you rent, or a letter of consent if the owner lets you use the place free of charge |
| House registration | A copy of the house registration for the building where the business sits |
| Proof the landlord owns the place | For example a house owner record, sale contract, ownership transfer or sublease |
| Landlord identity | The landlord’s ID card and house registration, or a company certificate if the landlord is a company |
| Map and photo | A simple map of the location, plus a photo of the premises that shows the house number |
In a serviced office the provider is usually a tenant of the building, so some of these papers come from the building owner. Ask the provider which ones they supply and what they charge.
Prices differ. Launchpad, for example, states that supporting documents for company or VAT applications cost THB3,000 one time on top of its virtual office package, and that customers file the applications themselves. (Verified October 2026.)
Can You Use a Serviced Office Address for a Work Permit?
Yes, as long as your company is properly registered and VAT registered at that address. The Department of Employment does not ask for an office lease. It asks for company papers, and your address shows up in two of them.
For a foreigner who is still abroad (form WP.3), the employer’s company documents include:
- Company registration: a copy of the Thai company registration and a shareholder list updated within the last 6 months.
- VAT registration: a copy of Form Por Por 01, plus Por Por 09 if the details changed.
- Company records: one month of Social Security payment, last year’s balance sheet and 1 to 3 months of VAT payments (Por Por 30).
- Business licence: only if your business needs one from another authority.
The BOI’s One Start One Stop Investment Center lists the same documents and adds a map of the place of business. (Verified October 2026.)
The checklists we reviewed set no minimum office size or desk count. Officers can still ask for more, so confirm with the employment office that handles your company.
Two practical points follow from this. VAT registration has to come before the work permit, so choose a serviced office that will help with the Revenue Department paperwork. And for a foreigner already in Thailand (form WP.25), the Department of Employment accepts only a Non-Immigrant visa as the stay permission. See our work permit guide for the full process, and ask your accountant to prepare the VAT and Social Security records before you apply.
Other Solutions
If your potential serviced office provider can’t help you with meeting rooms or phone services, here are a few choices.
Meeting Rooms
If you need a meeting room and one isn’t available, over 30 StarBucks branches in Bangkok have meeting rooms.
These rooms are suitable for six to 12 people for up to five hours. You can book rooms one week ahead by calling one of the numbers below. But you might need to confirm in person.
To qualify for a room, your party must reach the minimum number of people and order the minimum number of food and drinks.
But Starbucks’s meeting rooms may not come with sound and video equipment or high-speed internet. Also, the room tends to have glass walls, which won’t help if you plan to hold confidential meetings.
Meeting rooms are also available at many co-working spaces in Bangkok. Prices start at 300 baht to 500 baht per hour. They’re more expensive but come with better facilities and provide greater privacy.

Document Storage
One weak point of using serviced offices is the lack of space, not just for workers but also for documents, too.
Working in Thailand calls for paperwork. Some, such as accounting documents, need ample space. And you need to keep them for many years.
It’ll be a big mess if the Revenue Department comes to inspect your business and you’ve lost important documents.
Document storage providers can help. We use DataSafe. They store documents in Chachoengsao Province. If we need to send or receive documents, they can do it in one day. This is an excellent choice, especially for accounting documents that we have to keep for 10 years.
Also, DataSafe can destroy documents whenever you’re finished with them.
Virtual Offices
Most serviced office providers offer virtual office packages. This is when companies can register with the Department of Business Development using their serviced office address.
Average rates for virtual offices are 2,000 baht to 4,000 baht per month with discounts for six- or 12-month contracts.
Cheaper packages may allow you to use the business address. But not for business registration with the Department of Business Development.
Virtual office packages come with mail and call handling services. But they might charge you extra for every piece of mail received, normally 100 baht per piece.
Costly virtual office packages give you free access to meeting rooms and shared workspaces.
With virtual offices, the process to register your business with the Department of Business Development is painless.
But if you need to do VAT registration with the Revenue Department, we recommend a serviced office, assuming you don’t have a standard office.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a serviced office cost in Bangkok?
Serviced offices in Bangkok range from about THB12,000 a month for a shared workstation to THB85,000 a month for a private office with eight workstations. Location, building grade, and what’s included (internet, kitchen access, meeting room hours) all affect the final price.
Can I use a serviced office address to register a company in Thailand?
Yes. Most providers issue a letter of consent, typically THB2,000 to THB3,000 for two sets, that lets you register your company address with the Department of Business Development and the Revenue Department. See our company registration guide for the full process.
Is a serviced office address enough for a work permit application?
A properly registered serviced office address can generally support a work permit application, because the Department of Employment asks for your company registration, shareholder list and VAT registration, plus a map of the workplace. Requirements can vary by case, so confirm with your labor office or an immigration lawyer before applying.
What’s the difference between a serviced office and a coworking space?
A serviced office gives you a private, lockable room with a registered address you can use for company registration. A coworking space is an open shared area you can join by the day, week, or month, usually without a private office or the paperwork to register a company address there.
What’s the difference between a serviced office and a virtual office?
A serviced office includes a physical desk and room you work from every day. A virtual office gives you a registered address, mail handling, and sometimes call answering, without a desk of your own. See our virtual offices in Bangkok guide for prices and providers.
How long is a typical serviced office contract in Bangkok?
Many providers offer month-to-month or short-term contracts, sometimes as short as one day. Longer terms of six or twelve months usually come with lower monthly rates and free-month promotions.
What does the Revenue Department ask for when I register for VAT at a serviced office?
It asks for proof of the address, not a special serviced office form. That means a lease or consent letter, a copy of the building’s house registration, proof the landlord owns the place, the landlord’s ID or company certificate, and a map with a photo that shows the house number. Ask your provider which of these they supply. (Verified October 2026.)
Do I need to register for VAT before I can get a work permit?
For a company employer, yes. The Department of Employment checklists ask for a copy of the company’s VAT registration (Form Por Por 01) along with the company registration and shareholder list. (Verified October 2026.)
Is there a minimum office size for a work permit?
The Department of Employment and BOI checklists we reviewed list no minimum floor area or desk count. They ask for a map of the place of business and your registration papers. An officer can ask for more, so confirm with the employment office that handles your company.
How do I check that a serviced office provider still operates the centre I want?
Open the provider’s own location page and look for the exact building and floor. Then book a tour and ask to see a current price list in writing. If the website will not load or lists a different address, treat the centre as unconfirmed and ask the provider directly.
Now, on to You
Over the years, Thailand has seen a huge increase in the number of serviced offices, each offering something unique.
There are serviced office providers that try to differentiate themselves by offering extras, but with the number of available choices, it’s hard to choose which one is right for you.
If you’re unsure which serviced office you should use, get in touch with us and tell us what you need.
