1. 4 Keys for Managing
A Strong Relationship with
Thai Clothing Manufacturer
You may think that conducting business with the apparel
manufacturer in Thailand, or any foreign countries in fact, is easy,
but from our experience we can say that is not a piece of cake.
Apart from the differences in culture, language barrier and the
different customs in communication, Thailand also has a different
business culture as well as practice, which must be taken into
consideration. To guarantee the healthy relationship with them,
you need to bare these 4 rules in mind.

2. Communication
• Communication plays an important role in managing strong
connection with your clothing manufacturer. We believe
that some of you might face the fact that their contact
persons don't respond to your questions clearly or quickly
enough.

3. Communication
• The main problem is that not all of them proficiently
know English. Time to express and understand things are
required for them to answer your questions.

4. Communication
• To overcome this language barrier, here are some
advices we would like to share. Using simple and
easy-to-understand English and also writing instead
of speaking, if it is important.

5. Patience
• You should be aware that things might not go as
well as planned, when you deal with most small
to medium size Thai garment factories.

6. Patience
• Not every apparel manufacturer in Thailand will
be experienced enough to deliver and manage
your products in a professional way and without
any problems.

7. Patience
• We suggest you to prepare yourself for any
mistakes, keep calm and deal with them in a
friendly way when the issues pop up unavoidably.

8. Trust
• Doing business with apparel manufacturer is
like dealing with people.

9. Trust
• Don’t disguise yourself in business English, cold
contract, deadlines, promises, terms and
conditions.

10. Trust
• You will discover that some casual greetings, care
and love can bring you closer to the
manufacturer.

11. Equality
• Treating clothing manufacturers from Thailand as
they are in the equal position as you is the
simplest thing required for building the healthy
and strong relationship with them.

12. Equality
• A friendly gesture is the best thing you should do
to guarantee a long-lasting business relationship.
At the end of meeting, yocommuniu would want
to reach a win-win situation with the clothing
manufacturer.

13. Equality
• Treating your partners equally without being arrogant and
making unfeasible requests will help you develop a good
reputation of your company among apparel manufacturers in
Thailand. Please always keep in mind that both of you are
partners, not a boss and employee.
