A regular public-private sector dialogue to exchange
ideas and experiences might be an avenue worth exploring.
Specific facilities and programmes to strengthen the capacity
of Thai firms to internationalize (similar to the ongoing
programme to train Thai chefs to work for Thai restaurants
abroad) would help. Such specific programmes could include
the training of Thai executives in international business issues
in cooperation with leading business schools in the country and
international organizations. Institutional support facilities could
be extended to cover the coaching of Thai firms to become better
prepared for internationalization, e.g. offering advice on drawing
up viable international expansion business plans, sensitizing
them to the labour and cultural issues of host countries and
offering more focused and strategic business advisory facilities
