Thaind Group — bridging opportunities

Thailand BOI guide

BOI promoted industries

Promoted activities are organised into groups spanning agriculture, industry, digital, services and innovation.

Broad activity groups

The promoted list is detailed and revised over time. At a high level it spans the following areas, each with its own criteria and privilege package.

  • Agriculture, food processing and bio-based products
  • Advanced manufacturing, machinery, vehicles and electronics
  • Chemicals, materials and metals
  • Digital, software and creative industries
  • Services, logistics, regional headquarters and trade centres
  • Public utilities, energy and environmental management
  • Research, innovation and human capital development

Sector-specific push areas

Thailand has consistently prioritised electric vehicles and components, electronics and smart devices, digital infrastructure and services, food and agri value addition, medical and health industries, and green energy projects.

BOI eligibility depends on the specific activity, project and current regulations. This page provides general information and is not official BOI advice.

More on Thailand BOI

What is BOI Thailand?

The BOI is Thailand's investment promotion agency. Promotion is granted per project and can unlock tax and non-tax privileges.

Who can apply for BOI?

Applications are made by companies, or by promoters intending to incorporate, for activities on the promoted list.

BOI Thailand for foreigners

For foreign investors, the non-tax privileges around ownership, land and staff often matter more than tax holidays.

BOI Thailand for Indian companies

Indian applicants most often fit manufacturing, food processing, software and regional service activities.

Build the business case first

Model the project without incentives, then treat promotion as upside. We can help you pressure-test both.
