SITE SELECTION
IN THAILAND
SITE SELECTION & TENDERS
THE CRITERIA FOR THE PROPER SITE EVALUATION AND SITE SELECTION IN THAILAND ARE DIFFERENT FROM THOSE IN EUROPE
Selecting the right location and managing construction tenders in Thailand requires in-depth regional knowledge and a process-oriented approach. At Sanet Group, we combine the legal expertise of Sanet Legal & Accountancy with the strategic and operational insights of Sanet Asian Advisors to support your project from planning to execution.
Whether you are investing in a new production site, warehouse, or business facility, our interdisciplinary team ensures that your site selection and tender process meet the specific challenges and conditions of the Thai market.
SITE SELECTION IN THAILAND: MORE THAN JUST LOCATION
Sanet’s consultants evaluate over 80 Thailand-specific site criteria; well beyond what is typically considered in European markets. With years of experience supporting foreign investors in Southeast Asia, we understand the technical, legal, and practical considerations that can make or break your project.
Key Considerations We Evaluate:
Soil Conditions and Foundation Requirements: In many Thai regions, costly deep piling of up to 30 meters may be required for building stability.
Flood Risk and Elevation: Land may need to be filled or elevated to prevent flooding during the rainy season—often a significant but overlooked cost.
Industrial Estate Regulations: Site-specific rules may limit truck access, restrict operations, or require special permits.
Infrastructure and Utilities: We assess accessibility to roads, water, power supply, and labor markets.
Logistics Efficiency: Proximity to customers, suppliers, and transport hubs is factored into overall site viability.

HOW WE SUPPORT YOUR TENDER PROCESS


Transparent Tender Procedures: We organize competitive bidding processes and guide you through contractor selection with documented evaluation criteria.
Cost-Effective Procurement: Our network includes reliable Thai subcontractors often used by international general contractors, allowing you to work directly with them and avoid multiple layers of markups.
Construction Contract Drafting and Oversight: Sanet Legal’s lawyers coordinate with our business consultants to ensure contracts protect your interests and comply with Thai regulations.
On-the-Ground Supervision: Our bilingual team monitors timelines, budget adherence, and contractor performance throughout the process.

Working with the wrong contractor or failing to account for site-specific factors can result in serious delays and cost overruns. For example:
A lack of piling can lead to structural instability.
Improper elevation may cause seasonal flooding.
Hidden subcontracting layers can inflate costs by 20–30%.
Ambiguous contracts often lead to disputes or compromised quality.
