the dlvx bangkok studio, sukhumvit

01 . who this is for

three bangkok expat owners we win every single time.

region: bangkok metropolitan areadistricts: sukhumvit, asoke, sathorn, silom, thong lor, ekkamai, phrom phongsectors: f&b groups, boutique hospitality, retail dtc brands, lifestyle e-commerce, service businesseslanguages: english first, thai operational tail, french and german on request

the f&b group founder. australian, british, french or american, 40 to 55, 8 to 20 years in bangkok, two to six venues across thong lor, ekkamai, phrom phong or sukhumvit soi 11. revenue thb 60 to 200m a year. the systems are duct tape. pos is loyverse, storehub or ocha on ipads, accounting is flowaccount, payroll is paper plus excel, every venue has its own facebook page and no unified booking flow, and the shop is a six year old squarespace losing every commodity line to lazada and shopee. he has already burned three freelancers and one local agency: they vanished mid-build or shipped code nobody can maintain. he wants one studio that answers in english inside 24 hours and ships on the date it promised. that is us.

the retail and dtc operator. european or american, 35 to 50, one strong brand, two to five physical points at terminal 21, central embassy, emquartier or iconsiam, plus a webshop. revenue thb 40 to 120m a year. the identity is sharp, the photography is beautiful, the back of house is chaos. inventory lives in a google sheet, the site is shopify on a stock theme, half the list is on klaviyo and half on mailchimp, and the line official account has 12k followers nobody talks to. we replace all of it with one surface: web, line and pos on the same data, from usd 12,500 for the build. no new tool to learn every quarter, ever again.

the boutique hospitality owner. european founder, 45 to 60, one to three properties, a 30 room boutique on sukhumvit 31, a heritage hostel on charoenkrung, serviced apartments in ari. 200 to 400 keys. revenue thb 80 to 250m. the pms is eZee or cloudbeds, the booking flow hands real margin to the otas every night, the direct-booking site crawls on mobile, and staff still write check-ins by hand. we ship ai-driven yield logic, a direct-booking flow built to take that margin back, and a guest bot that works in english and thai without embarrassing either audience. live in 21 working days.

all three share one filter: trust. they will not buy from a foreign agency thinking about expanding into thailand one day. they will not buy from a local agency that cannot hold a senior english conversation about react state, prompt engineering or eu and thai compliance overlap. exactly one studio sits in the gap: brussels-founded, bangkok-resident since 2024, ai-native, every price on the page, no theater and no account manager. that is the whole reason our clients stop shopping the moment they meet us.

and we prove it on the numbers, live. propick property, a bangkok condo agency, went from 39 google clicks to 79 and 1,163 impressions to 3,955 in 28 days, average position 15.9 to 13.5, read straight out of search console. that is what a bangkok visibility audit at thb 19,900 turns into. the expat-led economy in greater bangkok runs across f&b, retail, hospitality, professional services and creative work, and amcham, beluthai, the franco-thai and german-thai chambers list hundreds of operators between them. every one of them carries 8 to 35 staff and a software stack that grew by accident. bangkok has no shortage of agencies. it has a shortage of senior engineers who answer in english. we are that shortage, solved.

02 . what we build

seven things we ship for bangkok expat operators.

03 . expat-business case

the build that matches your operational shape.

04 . the method

four phases, fixed dates, zero surprises.

phase 01

scoping.

1 to 3 weeks

we interview the founder and the ops lead, audit the current site or webshop, and write the technical spec. paid discovery, refundable if we are not the fit. we map your seasonal peak, your language tail, your payment methods and every existing booking, pos or erp coupling. the build price is on the table before kickoff, in usd or thb, so no number ever moves on you later.

phase 02

build.

4 to 12 weeks

fixed price per phase. weekly demos you can actually click. you own the code from the first commit, in your repo, on your github. one senior engagement lead, no ticket queue, no junior learning on your budget. next.js, framer, webflow or shopify to fit the scope. bilingual english and thai routing in the architecture from day one, line oa and whatsapp business api wired as the default channel layer.

phase 03

ship.

1 to 2 weeks

fixed deadline, hit. lighthouse 95+ on mobile is the acceptance bar, not an aspiration. security review on platform builds, audit log tested on every erp bridge. pdpa register and gdpr article 30 register populated before launch. wcag 2.1 aa. dns cutover with your it partner or hosting vendor live on the call with us.

phase 04

care.

90 days, included

weekly uptime checks, performance triage, unlimited bugfixes, a monthly batch of adjustments on request, two workflow-tuning rounds on ai builds. you get through high season without signing a second contract. billing stays in usd or thb exactly as agreed, with no surprise fx line appearing at the bottom.

05 . questions from bangkok expat operators

what bangkok expat-business owners ask us first.

01

can you help with work permit or visa structuring for the project?

we are engineers, not thai immigration lawyers, so we do not file the work permit itself. we do better than a referral list: we introduce you to two bangkok legal partners we already work with on b visa, work permit and thai entity setup for foreign operators, and we structure the engagement so every deliverable maps cleanly to a thai company's books whichever entity you end up running. for ongoing work, billing through your thai ltd is the cleanest path. pre-entity, our usd invoicing covers the gap until your thai structure is live. this never once delayed a build for us.

02

how do you handle pdpa plus gdpr dual compliance?

both regimes ship with every build, and we charge nothing extra for it. the pdpa b.e. 2562 register (sections 19, 23 to 29, 37, cross-border under section 28) tracks your thai data subjects: staff, customers, thai-resident guests. the gdpr article 30 register tracks your eu data subjects: eu customers, eu staff, eu-resident guests booking through your site. one cookie banner satisfies both standards with separate granular controls. data residency is mapped and documented, aws region of your choice, eu region available whenever eu residents are in scope. dpas signed with every subprocessor. most bangkok shops cannot do this half. we do both halves as the default.

03

is there a belgium-thailand tax treaty consideration on the invoices?

yes, and it works in your favor. the belgium-thailand double tax treaty has been in force since 1980 and blocks double taxation on professional services between the two jurisdictions. we invoice in usd for international clients and eur for european ones. for a bangkok thai ltd buying our services, the usd invoice is the cleanest treatment, with zero thai withholding under the standard professional-services article. we have run this structure with belgian and thai books side by side since 2021, and your accountant will recognise it immediately.

04

do you bill in usd or thb?

your call, not ours. usd via stripe or wise is the default for thai ltd clients with foreign currency capability. thb invoicing runs through our bangkok partner accountant for thai-domestic clients who need local currency, at a small fx and admin uplift. eur is available for eu-headquartered clients. we fix the currency at contract stage and it never moves after that. usd 1 sits at thb 32.93 on every conversion we publish.

05

thai entity or foreign entity, which one runs the project?

it follows your revenue. if the project serves thai-resident customers, a bangkok f&b group, a thai retail brand, a hospitality operator with thai guests, run it through your thai ltd: cleanest for vat, for enforcement, and for any audit that ever lands. if it serves an offshore parent or an export-only base, the foreign entity flow is simpler and faster. we also check boi activity 8 promotion eligibility for your digital product, and when that door is open we architect the build to walk through it. that is a conversation your last agency never started.

06

do you communicate over line, email or whatsapp?

email carries the artefacts, the contracts and the formal signoff, so the audit trail exists. line oa or whatsapp carries the day: deploy windows, urgent fixes, weekly sync. and we are physically here, so kickoff and go-live happen face to face at your venue or over coffee in asoke or thong lor. you get the founder, not an account manager reading a status template. the channel mix is yours to set.

07

how do you compare to seven peaks, outsourcify or the other expat-led shops?

they sell you a 30 to 80 person org chart. we sell you the senior people who write the code, and you talk to them directly, every week, with no layer in between. that means faster decisions, a lower fixed cost on your side, and one accountable lead who answers on line inside the hour. we ship the ai layer in 21 working days and diagnose a broken site in 48 hours, and we publish every price on this site instead of hiding it behind a discovery call. our portfolio runs daikin, zalando, mediamarkt, board of innovation, an awwwards site of the month, and the careers platform the belgian federal finance ministry hires through. bring us the project you want done this quarter, not next year.
