Top Thai Brand Exhibition comes to SSACEIF

The second Top Thai Brand Exhibition will be held from June 12–18 during the 2017 South and Southeast Asia Commodity Expo and Investment Fair (SSACEIF), according to a statement released by the Thailand Consulate General in Kunming on May 24.

Considering the strategic significance of trade between Yunnan and Thailand, the exhibition will invite Chinese entrepreneurs from the provinces of Yunnan and Qinghai, and the Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region to showcase Thailand-made products for the Chinese market, said Natchathorn Manopanjasiri, consul of the consulate. 

Exhibition visitors will have the opportunity to appreciate many representative and world-renowned Thai products, such as Singha Beer, SMP cakes, Hales Blue Boy, MAMA instant noodles and Takabb cough medicine.

Visitors for the seven-day event are expected to number no less than 300,000, and nearly 150 enterprises from China and Thailand are set to cooperate at the exhibition, said Natchathorn Manopanjasiri.

During the exhibition, consumers can enjoy a free 15-minute professional Thai massage for purchases over 500 yuan ($73.53), or receive a free Thailand-made umbrella for purchases over 200 yuan.

The first Top Thai Brands Exhibition in 2016 saw a turnover of seven million yuan.
