However, the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center (QSNCC) offers an on-site bonded warehouse service for exhibitors, which allows temporary import of goods for the exhibition without the need for an ATA Carnet or import duty guarantee, simplifying customs procedures. Exhibitors should confirm with the organizer or their freight forwarder which option is more suitable for their shipments

    Cultural notes

    Useful information to help you have a smooth and respectful visit.

    Business Etiquette

    Thai business culture values respect, hierarchy, and relationship-building- . A traditional 'wai' (palms pressed together, slight bow) is a courteous greeting- ; handshakes are acceptable with Westerners but wait for the other party to initiate. Address colleagues and clients by title and surname. Dress conservatively and professionally—light suits or smart business attire are recommended . Present and receive business cards with both hands- . Avoid direct disagreement; suggest alternatives diplomatically- . Avoid touching anyone's head, and do not point feet at people or sacred objects

    Language

    Thai is the official language. English is widely spoken in business and tourism contexts, particularly in Bangkok. Carry bilingual business cards (English and Thai) as a sign of respect. Learning a few Thai phrases (e.g., 'Sawasdee' for hello, 'Khop khun' for thank you) is appreciated

    Religious and Royal Observances

    Thailand is a predominantly Buddhist country with deep reverence for the monarchy. Avoid any negative comments about the King or royal family. When visiting temples, dress modestly (shoulders and knees covered), remove shoes, and speak quietly. Do not touch or climb Buddha images

    Dining and Socializing

    Business meals are common and often take place in group settings. Wait for the host to begin eating. Use a fork and spoon (spoon in right hand, fork in left to push food). Chopsticks are used for noodle dishes. It is polite to leave a small amount of food on your plate to indicate you are full. Tipping is not mandatory but appreciated (5–10% in restaurants, small change for taxi drivers)

    Practical Tips

    Carry small denomination Thai baht for taxis, street food, and tips. Credit cards are widely accepted in hotels, malls, and upscale restaurants. Bargaining is acceptable in markets but not in formal retail or business contexts. Stay hydrated and use sun protection. Be mindful of scams targeting tourists near major attractions

    R&D professionals, retailers, distributors, brand owners scouting new ingredients, consultants, and investors seeking market intelligence and partnerships

    Timeline

    1–2 months for travel and visa arrangements; register online for a visitor pass

    Risks
