As one of the more dynamic economies in Asia, Thailand is a fairly lucrative place in which to do business. Aside from its multitude of tourist destinations and breathtaking beaches and first-class resorts, it also has burgeoning industrial and manufacturing sectors that are already home to a number of multinational corporations.

Despite having adopted the English language as the language of business, communication in the country is still largely conducted in Thai, so anyone who intends to engage in business here should first explore the ways Thai translators can help you get on your feet.

And speaking of Thai translators, there are many such translators (professional and amateurs alike) who offer their services in the streets (often egging wandering tourists to hire them) or those that are employed by local language translation agencies.

Often, the highly educated ones offer superior translation services in terms of value for money (they may charge fees lower than that of a similar translator residing outside Thailand) and translation accuracy (living in the actual city means they are “in the know” of the latest trends and “man on the street” sensibilities).

While we do not discriminate against Thai translators who operate and do their jobs outside Thailand-indeed, modern means of communication are such that one only needs genuine talent and proficiency to perform a job regardless of one’s actual location-we do admit to certain distinct advantages of highly educated Thai translators who are still in their home country.

For example, if you intend to set up shop right at the heart of Bangkok, you may want to hire someone who lives there and who “breathes” the zeitgeist of the city, but only if such a candidate has the actual language translation skills you need.

Fortunately, many reputable Thai translation agencies, even those that are not actually based or maintain offices in Thailand, cultivate a network of expert Thai translators that currently live in their homeland. So even if the language translation agency is located in, say, London or Los Angeles, they may have a working relationship with a stable number of professional translators based in Thailand. If a translation agency says they have “in-country Thai translators,” ask for proof, or references.

The important thing to remember when hiring Thai translators is to be sure that the person you are hiring has the right combination of experience and skills required by the specific type of document you have, with an actual portfolio of past clients to showcase.

Referrals from people you trust are best. But if you do not know anyone who has used the services of language translators specializing in the Thai language, then you will have to conduct the research yourself. The good thing is that there are several online discussion forms that cater to language translation clients.

Usually, you will find feedback from people from around the world talking about their experience with a certain so and so translator, and from there you can pick up leads. And as always, commit your job only when you are one hundred percent sure that the translator is a best fit for your requirement.
