I'm looking for some balanced advice from the apparently well-seasoned salts, with deep experiences in the SE Asia business environment.
My wife & I will nominally be based in Laos. I have a range of heat-exchanger technologies I need to have manufactured, for an international client base & am looking for quality manufacturers & assemblers. With the recent instability in Thailand, I've begun to get a little concerned with Thailand's ability to manufacture a quality product over the next 15-20 years. I don't see a problem finding decent component suppliers - am more worried about stop/start & ongoing VISA changes.
I have been investigating the following countries:
1. Thailand
2. Malaysia
3. Vietnam
4. Indonesia
5. Singapore
I'll be really interested in hearing different views on the subject & would appreciate all constructive comments & applied wisdom.
Thanks so much, everyone, for your time.
