Meine bisherige Erfahrung im Geschäftsleben in Thailand als Niederländer

Speaking from experience, growing up in the Netherlands taught me to appreciate directness and efficiency — say what you mean and get to the point. But doing business in Thailand has been a humbling lesson in reading between the lines. It’s a much more indirect culture, where people rarely say "no" outright — silence or disappearing from the conversation often is the answer. I’ve learned that building genuine relationships comes first, and trust is often developed outside the meeting room. In fact, sharing a drink together can open more doors than a formal coffee ever could. Understanding these cultural subtleties has made me much more effective — and patient — in cross-cultural business.

So.. Who wants to get drunk with me?
