With so much information available on the web, it can be quite exhausting to find the right websites or platforms to do business, especially in international trade.
Check out our five easy steps to stay in touch with trade news, trade shows, events and the latest products from Thailand.
1. Join Thaitrade.com
Thaitrade.com is Thailand’s official B2B e-marketplace listing buyers’ needs and suppliers’ offers. The web platform features products from more than 40 categories and is definitely “your ultimate sourcing destination”. Here you can search for products, sellers, and even buyers, but the downside to this site is that there’s just too much of it, and unless you have a lot of time on your hands, it takes a bit of effort.
2. Download the Events Calendar app
A fantastic app for updates on current and upcoming merchandise and trade related events and promotions in Thailand taking place at the IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani. This app can be downloaded on any iOS product such as iPhone and iPad.
3. Oversee Thai trade fairs
On the Thai Trade Fair website, you can stay well informed about the latest events, fairs and other related information.
It also offers business opportunities for sellers from Thailand and buyers from all over the world. As this is run by the Thai government, there is a lot of useful information, related websites and official documents for exporters and importers.
Also be sure to like and follow their Facebook and Twitter pages, even if they are not updated regularly.
4. Connect socially with MPN Intertrade
As part of the Thai Trade Network and a member of the Department of International Trade and Promotions (DITP), MPN Intertrade has in-depth knowledge and connections related to sourcing and exporting from Thailand.
Visit the MPN Intertrade Facebook page and see regular updates on the latest news, articles and products in the world of Thai trading. Also, see which pages have been liked by MPN to connect with other business networks with a Facebook presence as well.
Similarly, you can do the same on the MPN’s Twitter, LinkedIn, and Pinterest pages.
5.Commercial forums
There are many forums out there and this is probably the most comprehensive way to find trading related information, but if you’re lucky there are plenty of user specific materials. For Thai trading, these websites can be very useful: thaivisa.com and Trading in Thailand.
