With growing economies such as China and India offering mass-produced products at extremely low prices, most importers would opt to outsource their manufacturing to these countries. But if you are looking for just low prices then perhaps you should keep looking because you are missing out on the two other very important aspects – reliability and quality. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should choose Thailand to import or source your products from.

#1. High Quality Products at Competitive Prices

Thailand is very cost-competitive and product quality is generally a lot higher than its neighboring countries. The country is well known for its wide variety of superior quality products such as rice, rubber, food & beverages, seafood and textiles. It has also become competent in exporting hardware products, furniture, handicrafts, gems and jewelry.

In 2008 and its third consecutive year, Thailand was also ranked #1 for ‘value for money’. This can be attributed to the fact that it is rich with high-quality raw materials combined with low labor and manufacturing costs. In addition, most Thai companies and manufacturers follow the International standards such as the ISO, ASTM, CE, and Halal certifications together with human health and global environment concerns, so you can be sure the products won’t lack in good quality.

#2. The Culture and Ease of Business

As a non-Thai resident of over 17 years, I have come to love and understand the Thai people and culture. They are friendly, wonderful and hard-working individuals but their teamwork is even more remarkable. You will find working with them very easy and enjoyable.

If that is not convincing enough, then it might help to know that Thailand was awarded the 3rd “Best Country Brand for Friendly Locals”, 13th in “ease of doing business” worldwide while ranking 3rd in Asia.

In a 2009 report by the World Bank, Thailand was ranked 11th in the world for protecting investors, 10th for trading across borders, and 25th on enforcing contracts.

#3. A Strategic Location with a Strong Business Environment

As the “gateway to Asia”, Thailand offers access to China, India, and the countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). This has allowed the country to have well-developed infrastructure, free enterprise economy, and pro-investment policies, allowing it to experience one of the highest GDP growths.

#4. Intellectual Property

Nowadays Thailand is very concerned about Intellectual Property, despite most beliefs. Business owners can be assured now that products in their hands are completely legal and have no copyrights issues. We at MPN certainly make sure that there are none.

Likewise, if you are an inventor who is looking for a factory that can produce your products with low cost while protecting your intellectual property, Thailand seems to be the best choice for now.

#5. Buying Agents and Sourcing Companies

Like MPN Intertrade, there are dozens of multinational and Thai companies as well as agents that can greatly assist importers. Although most manufacturing and exporting companies do business in English, some may not. Sourcing agents can alleviate issues such as language barriers, trade restrictions and most importantly find the best manufacturer match and negotiate best prices.

Not to mention, this is also improves reliability and quality assurance as these agencies provide professional and expert services.

Thai traditional medicine holds that the body has four elements: wind, water, earth and fire, and ill health results from an imbalance between them. To remedy an ailment, the village “doctor” would make a herbal pack for the patient to ingest, rub onto the skin, or add to a steam compress. Another major component of traditional medicine is energy. When the energy lines are blocked, the individual will become ill, physically or emotionally. A massage or sauna would be prescribed.

Experience Thai Massage
Traditional Thai massage is a proven physical therapy that dates back to ancient India sometime before the lifetime of Buddha. It has been practiced here for centuries, and many swear by it as effective cure for common ailments such as aches and pains, fevers and nervous strains.

Traditional massage reached the peak of popularity in the early 18th century. King Rama III, great-grandfather of the present monarch, had all available knowledge on the subject gathered and inscribed on stone slabs. These now stand on a corner of the Temple of the Reclining Buddha (Wat Pho), along with stone figures of rishis demonstrating various massage postures. You can try this ancient therapy in its original form at the temple; masseuses trained at Wat Pho massage school offer their service seven days a week at very reasonable prices.

Thai-Style Herbal Therapies
Herbal sauna is no newcomer to Thailand. For many centuries people with just about any kind of affliction would visit a sauna, where herbal packs formulated just for the ailment would be added to a water heater. The resulting steam would be absorbed both through the nose and the skin. The heat also sweated out toxins and cleansed the pores. As recently as the beginning of this century, hundreds of these saunas existed in Thailand, but with the arrival of modern medicine most of these went out of business. But even today, home-made herbal sauna—along with a diet regimen packed with herbs is the post-natal therapy Thai women, especially those living in the countryside still swear by. Herbs also dominated Thai women’s beauty and skincare regimens. Sour tamarind worked wonders as a body scrub, for example, while crushed turmeric would be rubbed onto the skin to keep it soft and smooth. With the recent revival in holistic therapies, indigenous herbs are being discovered anew for their health and beauty benefits.
