Thinking of Opening
a Bakery in Thailand?

Sweet choice! With rising demand for fresh and delicious baked goods, Thailand offers a welcoming market for bakeries to delight locals and tourists alike.

Here is the step-by-step procedures for setting up "Barkey Shop" business in Thailand.

Step #1

Set up a Thai Limited Company

Register your business with the Department of Business Development (DBD). For foreigners, this often requires a Thai-majority ownership or legal advisor for BOI promotion. Register for VAT if needed.

Step #2

Conduct Market Research

Spend 1–2 months analyzing local competition, foot traffic, and pricing. Identify your niche (artisan, budget, or fusion bakery) and target customers (tourists, locals, expats).

Step #3

Secure a Bakery Location

Find a location with good visibility and accessibility. Negotiate the lease, and ensure the space meets food safety and ventilation standards.

Step #4

Apply for Licenses

Apply for food establishment licenses from the local district office and FDA (if packaging products). You may also need fire safety, hygiene, and signboard permits.

Step #5

Install Equipment

Import or locally purchase ovens, mixers, refrigerators, and display counters. Be aware of import tax and ensure all equipment meets Thai safety standards.

Step #5

Recruit & Train Your Team

Hire local bakers, cashiers, and assistants. Provide in-house training or enroll staff in Thai bakery programs to maintain quality and consistency.

Step #7
Prepare for Soft Opening

Start with a soft launch for 2–4 weeks to collect feedback, refine recipes to local taste preferences, and test operations before full opening.

Step #8
Launch Your Business!

Host an opening event with promotions, freebies, and influencer invites. Use Instagram and Google Maps to gain visibility quickly.

Step #9
Have the Right Visa to Stay and Work in Thailand!

As a foreign business owner or manager, secure a Non-B Visa and Work Permit. You may also need to show financial proof or hire locals to qualify.
