Thailand Business Guide - UK Trade & Investment

Consultation and bespoke research
You should not rely solely on desk research.
Websites and online materials can be out
of date and the quality and reliability of
content varies widely. Sometimes, you may
simply be unable to find the information
you’re looking for. This is why it is essential
to verify initial research findings and
conduct further investigations.
Often, this requires you to map out a
bespoke research brief with the help of
specialists, exploring what additional
information you might need to make an
effective entry into the market and how
you can make the contacts vital to success.
UKTI offers a range of such services to
UK businesses interested in exploring the
Thai market.
Speaking to an expert
UKTI provides support for UK companies
through a network of international trade
teams based in the English regions.
UKTI services are also available to firms
in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
