Web Development in Thailand

Most Thai web development falls into one of three patterns: a freelance designer charging by the page, a Bangkok agency charging enterprise rates, or a “WordPress + Elementor + 30 plugins” template-shop. We offer a fourth — agency-level engineering, lean WordPress builds, transparent fixed-quote pricing, available across every major Thai city. Here is the approach.

What we build

  • Marketing sites — agency, SaaS, consulting, professional services. Multi-page with custom Gutenberg blocks for hero, services, case studies, pricing, testimonials, FAQ.
  • Hospitality sites (hotels, resorts, villas) — direct-booking-optimised, multilingual (Thai + English standard, additional source-country languages for major properties), property-management-system integration
  • Real estate & property agencies — large catalogue architecture with programmatic property pages, multilingual where foreign-buyer market significant
  • E-commerce stores — WooCommerce or custom mini-cart, with Thai payment gateways (Omise, 2C2P, PromptPay) plus international (Stripe, PayPal)
  • Restaurants & F&B — menu-driven sites, online reservation integration, Wongnai integration
  • Tour operators — booking-engine integration (Klook, GetYourGuide, custom), seasonal content management
  • Service businesses — service-area-targeted local SEO baked in
  • Custom plugins and bespoke features — full plugin development service

Why no Elementor

Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and similar page builders make WordPress easy to start with, expensive to live with. Each adds 200-500 KB of CSS and JavaScript per page regardless of which features you actually use. Page Speed scores tank. Core Web Vitals fail. Updates break things. Switching costs become punitive — every page has to be rebuilt to leave the page builder.

We build with native WordPress Gutenberg blocks. Custom server-rendered blocks per project. Result: marketing sites loading in under a second, your editorial team can edit every page from the WordPress admin, switching themes does not require rebuilding the site. Detailed engineering approach.

Cities we serve

  • Pattaya — HQ, in-person discovery and design reviews available
  • Bangkok — monthly in-person meetings included for retainers $2,000+/month, fast train from Pattaya for in-person sessions
  • Chiang Mai, Phuket, Hua Hin, Koh Samui, Krabi — fully remote with quarterly in-person visits available for larger engagements
  • Other Thai cities — fully remote across the rest of Thailand; quarterly in-person on request for retainer clients

Most client work happens over Zoom, Google Meet, or WhatsApp video. Time-zone alignment with all of Asia and most of Europe makes async work straightforward.

  • Standard marketing site (8-15 pages, custom blocks) — $3,000-5,500
  • Hospitality site with booking integration — $4,000-9,000
  • Real estate or large catalogue site — $5,000-12,000
  • WooCommerce store — $4,000-15,000 depending on catalogue size
