Summary

Thailand, like most Asian nations, has a rather short history on the legal recognition of social enterprises. The following presentation looks over the standing of social enterprises in Thailand and the crucial role that the public, private sectors and the government play to ensure a secure footing for these social enterprises. The presentation focuses explicitly on the vital essences of the SE Promotion Act and the direct effects that this legislation has had on Thailand's social enterprises, such as unique taxation benefits and start-up grants reserved solely for certified social enterprises.
