Thailand Hong Kong Companies,
Thai Hong Kong Manufacturers are well represented in the Thai
business scene. In addition Thailand and Hong Kong have historically
enjoyed close economic and business ties. This has continued since the
handover of Hong Kong back to the Chinese mainland.
Hong Kong and Thai trade and investment ties
have been strong, we all recognise that there is room for further
strengthening. Hong Kong is Thailand's fourth-largest export market and
its fourth-largest source of investment. By the way, 75% of Hong Kong's
rice comes from Thailand.
There are many opportunities for Thai-Hong
Kong partnership that await discovery and I believe there's a good fit
between the culture of the business community in Thailand and in Hong
Kong. There are Thai manufacturers who would look to source materials
from China, or trading companies wishing to market their products there. |

I think we need look no further than Hong Kong for knowledgeable and
willing partners. The service industries in Thailand who wish to
collaborate internationally can also find plenty of willing Hong Kong
partners with strong international business experience. Examples include
Thai film post-production firms and infrastructure development firms who
will find a huge choice of Hong Kong counterparts, since Hong Kong
itself is a film and infrastructure hub.
I believe Hong Kong and Thailand understand each other, because we're
both enterprising. We understand each other's challenges; we were both
stunned by the Asian economic crisis; we're both suffering from the
current downturn worldwide. But we are both resilient and quick to
respond to changing circumstances. I believe we can both benefit from
economic expansion in China, perhaps the one bright spot in the gloomy
world economy today. Now I believe Hong Kong offers Thai companies a
triple - that is, a trade services platform to and from the Pearl River
Delta and China, plus partnership opportunities on a region-to-region,
company-to-company basis and a haven for enterprises.
