REGULATIONS .CO.TH:
With Trustee Service no local presence of any kind is required in order to register a CO.TH domain in Thailand.
The only requirement is that the domain name applied for must match a registered trademark from anywhere in the world.
For instance, trademarks registered in the US, individual US states, UK, EU/OHIM, Benelux, Japan, South Africa and Denmark would all qualify for matching .CO.TH domains.

If you do not own a matching trademark, we can assist in registering such either in Thailand, or via a trademark office which provide fast registration service. There are some different solutions for registering a trademark, with the fastest and least costly being day-to-day at a one-off cost of appr. 200 USD. A Trademark in Thailand takes longer to register, usually 30-45 days. For more detailed information, please call or email us.

Neither trademark, trademark owner or domain applicant need to be have a presence in Thailand. This will be provided via our Trustee Service. The trademark and domain name must match. Spaces can be removed or replaced with hyphens.

Currently, there are no limitations on the amount of .CO.TH registrations per client, so long as they all are based on matching trademarks.
Trademarks must be fully registered. Applications does not suffice.
