Commercial judgement, backed by the numbers.
Anglo Siam Advisory provides commercial analysis and decision support for two markets: business owners and investors operating in Thailand, and UK SMEs who need analytical capability without a full-time hire.
We combine on-the-ground operating experience with rigorous quantitative work: market intelligence, business diagnostics, due diligence, and the reporting and systems that turn a decision into something you can act on with confidence.
Built for business owners who need structure, clarity, and commercial judgement before making decisions.

Work with ASA in Thailand, or from the UK
The same analytical approach, applied to two different operating contexts.
Operating in Thailand
Market entry, due diligence, business diagnostics and systems for owners and investors working in Thailand's real operating environment.
UK Analytics & Advisory
Fractional analytics capacity and fixed-fee profitability reviews for UK SMEs and trades businesses, delivered remotely on UK hours.
Thailand rewards preparation. It punishes weak structure.
Many businesses enter Thailand with a strong idea but limited understanding of local operating costs, partner risk, staffing realities, compliance exposure, customer behaviour, and the systems needed to run properly.
Others are already operating, but remain heavily dependent on the owner. The business may be busy, but reporting is weak, responsibilities are unclear, margins are under pressure, and decisions are made reactively.
ASA helps turn these issues into a structured commercial review, practical plan, and clearer operating model.

How ASA supports a Thailand engagement
Each area below groups a set of related services. See the full breakdown on the Services page.
Market Entry & Due Diligence
Review the commercial logic, cost base, location risk, and partner risk before you commit capital or reputation.
Business Improvement
Identify what is structurally weak, from pricing and reporting to staffing, systems, and owner dependency.
Systems & AI
Build reporting, workflows, SOPs, and AI-assisted processes that reduce admin and improve consistency.
Who ASA works with
ASA is built for business owners, operators, and investors who need practical commercial support in Thailand.
- Foreign business owners entering Thailand
- Thai SMEs working with foreign customers, partners, or investors
- Hospitality, tourism, wellness, events, F&B, and service businesses
- Owners who are too involved in daily operations
- Investors reviewing a local opportunity
- Agencies and operators who need stronger systems or clearer positioning
We also work with UK businesses, remotely
Most SMEs need analytical work done long before they can justify a full-time hire: dashboards, reporting automation, forecasting, and the SQL work an in-house analyst would do. We provide that on a fixed monthly capacity, delivered remotely on UK hours, with no recruitment process and no employment overhead.
For UK trades businesses and small firms, we also run fixed-fee reviews on job profitability, pricing and rates, quoting and win rates, hiring decisions, seasonal cashflow, and management reporting, delivered as a written report you keep.
A structured process, not vague advice
Initial Discussion
Clarify the business situation, decision, risk, or operating problem.
Structured Review
Collect the relevant information, review assumptions, identify weak points, and assess the commercial reality.
Findings and Plan
Provide a practical summary of what matters, what needs fixing, and what should happen next.
Implementation Support
Support the business with systems, processes, documentation, partner coordination, or ongoing advisory where needed.
Alex Lampton, Managing Director
I have more than twelve years of industry experience in Southern Thailand, including four years running a resort operation with full P&L responsibility, and several years directing an events business. That experience shapes the work at Anglo Siam Advisory: rigorous analysis, grounded in an understanding of how businesses here actually operate.
ASA operates through a registered Thai company with Thai staff, and I work with a network of Thai associates and advisors on projects requiring Thai-language research, local verification, or direct contact with suppliers, landlords and officials. You deal with me directly on the analysis itself.
I hold a BSc in Economics and Mathematical Sciences from the Open University. ASA combines that quantitative background with practical commercial judgement, helping owners, investors and growing businesses make better-informed decisions.
The work can include pricing and margin analysis, feasibility and forecasting, market and competitor research, operating reviews and management reporting. The aim is to look beyond the headline numbers, understand what is driving them, and provide a clear, realistic basis for action.
Clients receive written analysis, practical conclusions and decision tools they can keep using, rather than a presentation full of generic recommendations.
Recent published analysis is available in Insights.
Commercial advice grounded in operating reality
ASA combines practical operating experience in Thailand with commercial analysis, economics training, and hands-on business support. The focus is not theory. The focus is helping owners make better decisions, build stronger systems, and avoid expensive mistakes.
