For Singapore businesses
A Thailand-based development team for Singapore companies expanding into the Thai market
Thailand is among the first expansion markets for many Singapore companies. WHALE TASK is a Chiang Mai development team that understands what the Thai market actually requires — from PromptPay and LINE to Thai tax invoicing and PDPA.
Why us
Why Singapore companies work with a Thai team
One hour apart
Thailand is UTC+7, Singapore UTC+8. Working hours overlap almost entirely — collaboration feels like being in the same city.
Thai market requirements known from the start
PromptPay, LINE OA, tax invoices, VAT, cash-on-delivery behavior — the details foreign-built systems routinely underestimate, designed in from day one.
A team that can visit your Thai operation
If you have a branch, plant, or partner in Thailand, we can walk the real site and work directly with your Thai staff.
A cost structure clearly different from hiring in Singapore
With the same working process and delivery standards we apply to every client.
Time zones
Working across the time difference
Singapore is one hour ahead of Thailand, so working hours overlap nearly completely. Meetings fit any normal slot, and joint decisions never wait a day.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions from Singapore companies
How does WHALE TASK help Singapore companies enter the Thai market?
WHALE TASK is a software development team in Chiang Mai, Thailand, that adapts Singapore companies' products and systems for the Thai market — covering the payment methods Thais actually use such as PromptPay, integration with LINE as Thailand's dominant business channel, tax invoicing and VAT under Thai law, and correct Thai language support. The first consultation is free.
Does the Singapore–Thailand time difference affect the work?
Almost not at all. Thailand is UTC+7 and Singapore UTC+8 — one hour apart — so working hours overlap nearly completely. Meetings fit any normal slot and joint decisions never wait until the next day, unlike working with a team many time zones away.
Why use a Thai team instead of one in Singapore or elsewhere?
The main reason is Thai market knowledge an offshore team does not have. A system sold in Thailand must handle PromptPay, LINE, tax invoices, cash-on-delivery buying behavior, and correct Thai language — details foreign teams routinely underestimate. Development costs in Thailand also differ meaningfully from Singapore, at the same standard of work.
We already have a team or branch in Thailand — can you work with them?
Yes, and it is a common arrangement. We work directly with your Thai team, communicating in Thai with the people on the ground and English with the Singapore side, and we can visit your Thai branch or plant in person when needed.
Who owns the code and data?
The client owns all of it. WHALE TASK delivers source code with full rights, system documentation, and infrastructure accounts registered in the client's name from day one — terms stated in the contract from the start.
Must Thai customer data be stored inside Thailand?
Thailand's PDPA does not impose general data-localization; it sets requirements around lawful basis, data-subject rights, and conditions for transferring data abroad. We design systems so the server region can be chosen to match your company's policy, and specific legal questions should always be confirmed with your own counsel.
How do contracts and payments work?
We contract in English, specifying scope, phased delivery, and payment milestones tied to that delivery. We accept Thai baht or foreign currency by international transfer and issue the accounting documents your company requires.
How do we get started?
Start with a free one-hour consultation: we listen to what your product is and which part of the Thai market you are entering, then point out what must be adapted before a real launch. We then propose scope and a price range, at no cost until you decide to begin.
