This post is a supplementary resource for the popular ‘Thai imports' post written here, and will be maintained and updated when new supplier contact details are added (subject to a clearance check) to the guide.
Below you can download the Thai Exporters Directory to find companies that can help you trade products between your home country and Thailand.
Please note that I take no responsibility for any dealings you may have with theses companies.
Business in Thailand, like all business ventures, comes with a risk of loss of investment. So make sure you follow these 5 core rules:
- Thoroughly research the company you intend to do business with. Do as much due diligence as you can.
- Always test the supply funnel with a small sample of the product before placing a big order that could hurt you financially.
- Factor in shipping costs and import tax during your research. This is usually the make or break of a profit margin.
- Never pay for a full shipment of goods upfront. Always use an escrow service to protect your payment (if possible).
- Ensure that all product transactions fall within the laws of both Thailand and your home country.
Before starting your import business, I strongly recommend you read this guide written by an experienced import/export entrepreneur.
This book is full of industry-insider golden nuggets that from someone who has succeeded in importing goods from countries like Thailand.

Your daughter looks cute!
Plan to visit Thailand soon and check for leather wallets and belts - of normal and better quality.
Can you suggest a large and reliable factory or source
that can have good variety of items.
Will reward you with a glass of 7-up and grenadine! my favorite beverage!
Keep Thailand smart and hospitable in the sunrise.
Best Wishes & Regards,

I am Thitiya, a medical student and I wish to help.
With regards to Fabio Castelo 's request, I found out online few factories for you. By the way, I have nothing to do with the factories at all. You could check the map and may want to visit the factory prior to making purchases. I hope it could benefit you somehow.
- srixon
- bridgestone tecnifibre
We, Thais, have a vast array of products of export quality. I wish that somehow one day language wouldn't be a barrier when it comes to trading with us.
Best wishes,

Anyway, I have a friend who works for very large American company here and he is thinking of setting up an office in Thailand to do some contracting work for this company since wages are much lower in Thailand. It would be a fairly small operation and he would only need about a dozen or so college educated Thai workers, and I might sign on as the office manager. The trouble is, neither one of us knows much about the complicated process of setting up a company and hiring employees in Thailand. Also, I am well aware of the reputation Thai workers have for not being very productive and not taking much pride in their work. But perhaps white-collar workers are not as bad as the blue-collar workers are these days. I really don’t know. I would think that India or some other Asian country might be a better fit for what he is planning but, like me, he has a personal connection with Thailand and in fact he has been married to a Thai women here in California for over 20 years. Another potential problem is that this business would require a very fast and reliable Internet connection and I’m not sure how much speeds have improved in Thailand since I lived there.
Anyway, do you think it’s too much of a headache to do this in Thailand? And what are some of the difficulties we might be facing?

The majority thing is what is the product and if only restaurant recently that much more easier to settle restaurant which owned by foreigner at Thailand and as you said your friend married to Thai woman then it is totally helpful. Restaurant can asking only part-time for waiter and waitress, need to hire only clerk and cashier. If you are really interesting to settle up some biz here, better share more on detail.
Sep 29, 2016 at 3:04 pm
TheThailandLife says
Your friend would still be a majority shareholder and have all associated rights but the set-up would be 49/51%. You also need working capital of 2M Baht, and employ 4 native Thais for every one foreigner.
I think employing the right people, creating a relaxed but productive environment and paying people appropriately is key to getting the best out of staff. My friend has a very successful company here that employs over 30 awesome Thais who work very hard. But he pays them and treats them very well.
In terms of the internet connection. No worries. The internet is very good in most offices.
Been meaning to write a post on setting up a company for ages. I will put it on my to-do list!
Sep 29, 2016 at 8:49 pm
Ken says
Anyway this will be a high-tech company and from what I understand the work they do will actually be taking place in a database somewhere in the USA and they will simply be accesses that work and updating it from a computer terminal in Thailand. This is why a fast and reliable Internet connection will be a must. As for the company possibly needing to be owned mostly by a Thai partner this should not be a problem as his wife should be able to reclaim her Thai citizenship so she can be the Thai partner.
I also agree that employees should be paid very well and have a nice work environment. And I think my friend feels the same way. He is not the greedy type who wants to make every extra dollar he possibly can off the backs of poor people.
The main concerns I think he had was getting ripped off and taken advantage of in some of his business dealing over there. I told him of course that he needs to find a good Thai lawyer to go over any contracts. And I was also hoping to find someone who is very experienced at setting up businesses over there and possibly taking him on as a paid consultant during the set up process.
The other problem I suppose is learning all the labor laws in Thailand, as we will be managing 6 to 12 Thai employees.

Your blog is really helpful and interesting.
I'm planning to exporting the handmade stuff from bangkok like the passport holder, wallet, etc that we can have our name on it but i could find the right supplier with that item on your list. When i went to bangkok i bought that stuff and i try to contact the seller from their contact details that provided on the bag also from fb but i didn't get any reply. I won't mind to go there for the starting for the business but i'm hoping to get a proper supplier that can help me supply the product without me going there every time i need to order. I hope you can help me or provide me with the contact of supplier if you have it.
Than you,

I did check and went thru the Directory but couldn't find sustainable details.Isn't it possible to do some kind of Direct Networking Among members i.e. an WhatsApp Group or something where one can post their specific requirement in the Group and the other members in the group who are in the same line can respond instantly & then onwards they can have communication offline.This is just a suggestion but i think this will be more productive.
