Cultural Introduction

Get Into Asia CEO Marc Holt has lived and managed businesses in Thailand for over 30 years. He is married to a Thai with two children, and he speaks fluent Thai. He understands not only the social culture but the business culture as well.

Marc will be able to show you how things work in Thailand, from the concept of 'Thai time', to how to work comfortably with Thais, how to deal with government institutions, and much more. You just cannot get this experience on your own. It takes a lifetime to accumulate.

But Marc is mindful that you need to gain as much knowledge of the country, its customs and its people as quickly as possible. He will recommend that you enroll in a Cultural Understanding seminar as soon as you are ready. This seminar is widely acknowledged to be one of the best introductions to Thailand. Thousands of expatriate business people have taken it and come away raving how much it has helped them make sense of what can at times be a very alien culture.

There is more to Thailand, however, than understanding just its culture. You will want to know where to shop, how to shop and bargain, where to go for medical and dental treatment, the best restaurants in town (not always the most expensive ones either), and how to meet other businessmen. You will need help navigating around the city and traveling to locations outside Bangkok. Marc knows the city better than many Thais, including the best shortcuts to take while driving, which public transport will get you to a destination fastest and most comfortably, and much more. He has also traveled all over Thailand and has a thorough knowledge of the country. Using this knowledge he will be able to recommend locations for you to find land or factories for your business.
