Hi all. i live in Thailand and have a business here in Chiang Mai where we process work and act as a mini cal centre for our Australian Company. I am thinking of setting up another centre in Vietnam - does not matter where. I want to have redundancy in case of internet lines cut or some other situation beyond my control. I will only have 5 - 20 staff.
I have no idea what it costs to get GOOD ENGLISH SPEAKING staff there and would appreciate any help on what the costs would be. For example the average Thai wage is about 15,000 baht per month (980000VND) and i pay 25% more as I have really good staff here. I would do the same there if I get good people.
I have contacted a Solicitor fielding the information on setting up a WFOE there (Wholly Foreign Owned). If anyone has enay other information i would appreciate this too.
We are trying to keep call centre costs down because we run a small profit margin business in Australia. We also wnat to give people a better opportunity overseas.
I guess this will be the first of many options.
I have looked at Malaysia but really it is SO BORING. I can fly there and back to Thailand easily and I don't mind the 5 times I have visited HCM and Nga Trang and Da Nang
